Can anybody explain to me what a semi-serious relationship means to you?

Means they aren't ready to settle down. Want the fun with no strings attached or responsibility. IMO, bad idea of you're not looking for the same.

It means they like you but aren't 100% sure yet that they want to commit to being exclusive with you.

semi serious is an oxymoron or a synonym for fwb jmo

Never heard of that particular term. To me, it means you will be a booty call.

Semi serious is what all relationships are when you first start dating. It means you are probably still seeing other people but are spending a decent amount of time together. This is the critical point where the question of sex, to have it or hold out, comes into play. I always suggest holding out and if he is not willing to wait for it then you know he is not the one.

At least that applies for those still learning the process and who are looking for a serious relationship.

If you are not looking for a serious relationship then it is different.

All good responses. Thats what my new interest considers our relationship. I dont know what to call it. We are more than fwb, exclusive to each other and not pursuing other relationships. I asked him how long he expects our relationship to last, and he responded with a long time. So maybe down the road he expects a serious commited relationship, he is just unsure right at this moment in life?

Means you can't cook...so he doesn't want to take it to the next level until you learn how to.

when your involved with a trucker?

If somene told you that you were just in a "semi-serious" relationship, I'd say it's time to start looking for someone new. Odds are the other person already has, that's why they aren't "serious."

Semi-serious does not sound like someone who is putting in time for a commitment, just someone who is putting in a light effort for "right now." "Semi" literally means half, they are putting in half an effort for you, but where is the other half going?

That's how it sounds to me, but I could be wrong.

semi is partly or half way.

so if someone is in a semi serious relationship....they are half azzing it...IMO

hmm,,maybe it means on the VERGE of committing,,lol

So he is a "new interest" and already semi-serious? Well that could be very good for now. If serious is what you want?? Already exclusive and sees the relationship lasting a long time. Don't get to hung up on his words, pay attention to his actions, your answer is there, Actions SO speak louder than words and as you are now experiencing words can be funny....good luck to you.

if I were to consider myself semi-serious with a girl then to me it would mean... Exclusive, but I'm not ready to move on to the next level yet. Dont take it personally and dont get pissed! I'm just not ready yet. Hang on.

wow so I'm way off the whole semi-serious thing.
