when discussing long term plans I always say things like, "after I trade you in for the younger model.."

I would never call what we did "dating" though

that's why i struggle to describe my last fling in this manner. the girl gets pissed (to this day) if i say we dated or she was my gf

she would still bring up marriage and stuff but she was 20 at the time so that's nbd

i'm known to tell girls (esp younger girls) right before we bang that if she gets pregnant i'm not marrying her, to ease my moral conflict


Now I'm wondering if I should feel guilty because I didn't say this and still had no moral conflict doing just that.

no that's just an example of my anxiety and "going down the rabbit hole" as we put it

I've noticed that a few posters keep saying "if you are upfront and honest". How many of you have honestly had a conversation like this with someone?



Had it a couple of times. Just basically said, "Listen, before we keep going on dates, just know that my intention is not to have a serious relationship. I'm having fun with you, though, so I think we should keep hanging out."

Plenty do but the other party either doesn't believe it or think they can change you.

Very hot & cold statement. But I guess that would work for some people. I've personally never had the conversation. But it felt like an understanding between the both of us.

let me add something to your "business exchange" comment. it's also free practice (for both parties)

i haven't been in any sort of game for almost a year and a half (by choice). you gotta ease up into things before you settle in and get serious

I struggle to call a relationship "dating" when it is understood that either party will walk away at the first sight of someone better

i think that's exactly what "dating" is, and a "relationship" is much more serious

Then you would be lying to her by saying you have fun with her.

well she started amping up her flirting when i told her i was a heathen, so i'm guessing she's looking to rebel

and "really young" is like 21, just to clarify (i forget the age ranges here, "really young" to some posters on here is like 15 )

I consider dating to have some type of attachment and not just fricking

More like lukewarm and cold. It depends on the circumstance, too. These girls were girls that I figured I might want to date in the future if things went well.

It seems like the issue usually comes up in most cases. As long as everyone's up front about their expectations. If it doesn't come up after a little while (1-2 months depending on the situation) it's better to bring it up if there's any question about it.
