I know I've seen this somewhere around on gaia (not in the guild, but I've only been here for a couple hours so far). My question is, what would you prefer, a casual dating scenario, or relationship. And why?
I just got out of a 3 month relationship, where everything took a hard south, REAL fast. So after not being in a good relationship, I've decided I'd rather be in a casual dating scenario. Nothing serious, but just an easy going fling with one, or a couple people. Granted, I've never actually thought about this before, but my mentality has changed significantly over the last 2 years. From 2 bad relationships, and just general change.
But what are your thoughts, and how do you think I should go about doing this? (Yes I know this is the ED section of the guild, but some advice would be nice as well). Thanks for any input, advice, and personal preferences.

If your not looking for anything serious then yeah, go for it. Just be certain to tell your "date" that you just want to hang out as friends. I've done this several times and all my "dates" and I have a very good time. One plus side: no heartbreakes.

That was my general thought. But I'm sure you know that some people can be crazy. But have you ever heard somebody say "We're not together together, but we're together." That just confuses the hell out of me. I have a friend who does that, and it works for him.

i think it's best if all relationships start out casual. first you get to know them maybe at least a few months and you can date a few people at once if that's oka with your dates you should at least tell them. then maybe you can find someone you really click with and just hang out with them for a while and after a few more months if you feel good about them and think maybe they could be the 1 you ask them out and have a relationship. it will probably take a few years to find someone you really feel good about but in the mean time have fun with it ;]

I have never and will never been involved in casual dating. While I agree with Rainbow Vamp that it takes time to realize you are clicking with someone I'm not wild about the idea of seeing other people in the mean time..
and I really hope we're not talking about sexual relationships? There's quite enough STDs, venereal disease, and unwanted pregnancy. Please don't give me the "Oh I'll [have them] wear a condom" bit either. Because if people are really honest they do not always and in often cases NEVER wear protection.
I have gone through long periods of being single because I won't just be with someone to be WITH someone. Yeah it sucks to be alone but that's when we do most of our growing.
