Does anybody do casuel dating anymore ? Is anyone even interested in casuel Romance ? I'm curious. Casuel should come before making a commitment. Jumping right into a full blown relationship is the making's for a disaster. Old school,, test the water first before jumping in. We're all adults so don't be afraid to talk about the intimate things so lines aren't crossed. Comments ?

All of the dating I have done so far has been casual. Just like you said I am testing the waters and all of my testing has been done without anything intimate

I agree. There's no point in gluing something until you're sure that's where you want it.

I've done the casual dating. So yes, people still do it.
The reason I am still here is because I am looking for someone beyond the casual dating experience.
I dated one woman I met on another site for 6 months. The relationship never advanced at all. At the time I stopped the dating, I had realized that she had an issue with committing to anything meaningful. We parted as friends but when I stopped paying she stopped being available.
Another woman I met only wanted to jump my bones. When I didn't 'put out' she got offended and stopped seeing me. I wanted to but I reserve my sexual activity for erotic passion not simple stress reduction.

I'm not really interested in doing those 'formal' dates anymore. I would rather just hang out and let our intimacy grow as we get to know each other as we are normally, without the rules of the date. That way, when we do finally have a formal date we are both natural and can enjoy each other instead of concerning ourselves with protocol.

It is actually harder to do that than to just date.

I think it's all casual dating until you meet someone you are crazy about, and then you no longer care about "testing the water" ...

I also think dating is different for everyone - so to each their own.

Personally, I don't mix casual dating and intimacy.

Are you sure you are looking for casual dating, or a friend with benefits?

hey

why in the world would a woman want to talk about intimate things with a "casual" relationship??
if men would stop thinking with only their lower extremities, then maybe they would find more women interested in knowing them and then taking it to the next level
some of us girls are not the girls every man wants
but at least we are not the girls every man has had

I've done the casual dating and most of the time it ends into the friends zone.

Thanks for the comments everyone, there all great. The reason I asked such a question is because I casually dated a women with no hassles of a commitment and with no ties. She had her courier and I had mine, but we slept together and learned all about one other in and out of bed. Unlike a FWB we only had each other and no one else. We had no commitment to each other. That women in time became my wife of 23 years. And yes a full commitment. I guess things in the dating and romance field have changed sense then. Thanks all.

Wait a minute....A date is a date. No matter how you look at it. Casual dating is what any person has to do before anyone can make a sure decision to continue to date, or start a relationship with that person.

Don't confuse with someone who is only seeking a friend's with benefits situation.
Two totally different things in my eyes.

I think of casual dating as going out for a cup of coffee, taking a walk together, meeting up for lunch, or watching some tv but as more than friends. Just getting to know each other, how much attraction we have. I have found that it is usually the guy trying to rush into something more, not just sex but wanting to live together after a few weeks. It usually ruins things.

Hi

yeah, don't use glue.. that's for sure.. otherwise it will be a call into 911

Exactly ..lol what's ur name

Sometimes when you are in between relationships, you want to go out on dates and have fun and be relaxed with a guy (in my case), and doesn't have to be leading to a relationship.

Seems like a semantics thing, more than anything else. Aside from the rare arranged marriage scenario, I've yet to see anyone do other than "date in stages." That's what you are talking about, I think.

When I was young, any time someone insisted on using the term "casual" in association with sexual interactions, it meant that they were looking for what these days, gets called "NSA" sex, or maybe "FWB" sex. Sex for the sake of sex, one night stands, sex in the parking lot kind of stuff.

As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as "casual romance." You either care for and about the other person and their life, or you don't. If you do care about them, then it could be romance.

If it's "casual," that means you DON'T care about them.

What does casual mean.?..
I meet you casually on Thursday for a drink.. we hang out its good..
But then on Friday I go have a drink with someone else.. casually...

Now is the frist person supposed to take that casually... or do they have a right to get upset.. I mean after all we are keeping it casual right... so can you casually date other people will casually dating people..lol..wink.

hello

Haha. I was waiting for someone to comment on that. :p
