You have to define "casual." As in do you mean casual and sexual?

Sometimes casual daters have romantic feelings, they just don't want to get serious with anyone at the moment. So they ignore those romantic feelings. But again, you might have to define what you mean by "romantic feelings."

 

Is it possible to have casual and no romance

I think you've asked this same question half a dozen times throughout this thread.

Read the thread, the answers are contained therein.

Again what do you mean by "romance"? Nobody frames the issue as you're framing it, so that's why I need to know what you mean by "romance."

Yes you can definitely have something casual without love. If you have it on your Tinder profile people are going to assume you’re just interested in sex with no strings.

If I said I am open to dating to dating tall girls or a blonde girl or if I was asked if I was open to dating a tall girl and I said yes , does that imply I am looking for or open to a commited relationship to a tall girls or can it mean a one time thing

Depends on the app. The apps usually have an option to indicate whether you're looking to date seriously and so on. You want to check casual or not too serious or whatever the options are. 

Dude, Tinder was for the longest all about non-love dates. That's the point of Tinder, though ironically people do now use Tinder to date and some people who met casually ended up in love. 

Yes date away with no expectation of love around you. But keep in mind, even casual relationships usually require some interest in the other person and treating them decently.

Of course it's normal!  Just put down what you're looking for an go from there.  Not everyone always wants a committed relationship all of the time.

To echo Trail Blazer, the beauty of the dating apps/sites is that people can openly say they don't want love, don't want a relationship. And so people on the same wavelength can get together. The apps sorta took away the stigma, if that's the right word, of saying you were on the hunt for sex or whatever--by creating official categories that people could check.

I have heard about this before and I was wondering, how is it seen overall? Is it a normal thing to do or is it seen as being shitty and kind of sleazy? What is the general consenus about it if there is one?

Of course it is normal. As long as you honest with another person about what you are looking for and your intentions.  It is all good as long as you don't mislead the other person or make any false promises.

Of course. Anything and everything is possible. Like I've mentioned already, as long as you are honest with the person/personas you are about to date, it is all good.

casual dating is more just having fun. It can be exclusive. Just not getting too serious.  Casual dating is normal.

 

non exclusive daring is more FWB geared. 
 

non exclusive dating us common early in when you just meet and date a few times. Sex usually doesn’t happen.
