Michelle83 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Do you think there are a lot of people who date causally just to hang out, have some company and fun? Do you think it's misleading if they don't tell the person they're seeing right away this is all they're looking for? I've always dated with the desire of it to develop into a longer term relationship, but for the next little while, I think I'd like to date more for fun, see each other 1-2 times a week without it getting too serious. I have a lot going on and am not sure I want to get too involved, spending nights, going away on weekends together, etc. More just casual dates and enjoying each other's company. But part of me feels wrong to do OLD if this is my intent - especially if I use a paying site? Or am I wrong in this? Eventually I want something more serious and if the right guy came along in the meantime and it progressed to that slowly, that would be fine, but right now I just don't really have a lot of time or emotional availability to do something really serious.
mesmerized Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 What? you feel wrong to use OLD for casual dating? what do you think most people are doing there, finding lifetime partners?? That's what OLD is for most people and trust me, most of the guys you encounter there will also want the same thing. no worries. 1

MrCastle Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Mish, you have nothing to worry about. It is quite common and believe me, you won't find a shortage of men looking for the same thing. There's one in this thread alone 1
Author Michelle83 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for the replies, this is a huge relief. I was planning on just staying single (no dating entirely) right now for a while, but it's getting a bit lonely...and physical needs are building. I just thought it may be misleading or something to a guy who's looking to get serious and really involved. Should I bring it up early on that I'm looking for something more casual and light or just let things happen and if he addresses it, go from there? Plenty of Fish has a "Want's to date but nothing serious" option. Yeah, I might try this site... I think I'd prefer eharmony or Match but this could be the better route to go.
