How casual is anything that has expectations of exclusivity? Christian Dating?

Not too casual .

A really good idea if that's what you both want and agreed on.

Decidedly not casual.

You can label it anything you want. I enjoy these relationships.

I'm at my happiest when I have friends to arrange to spend time with (women and men), and a woman to call and go and see (or they come to see me) if I fancy intimacy etc.. It's a perfect arrangement. It's the best of both worlds.

A prelude to a better life. If you want it of course.

In a polyamorous relationship a lover who does not live with the family is a paramour, IIRC. As long as all parties disclose their activities, not necessarily the details, it isn't cheating. It is also not casual.

A monogamous intimate relationship.

Casually serious

Uncasual

I don't know, but it sounds great to me. I'm a bit of a commitment phobe, but I'm into monogamy.

It's called "Nope." Too many potential mindgames here.

For some people, "casual" might mean any relationship where marriage isn't a clear expectation (i.e., actively working toward a formal, official commitment). To me, though, casual but monogamous would simply mean that we're not pursuing romantic interests elsewhere, but we don't have the expectation that we'll coordinate all of our time around one another — so we're scheduling time for one another, but we're not living together, our lives aren't so intertwined that we are continually checking in with one another, and we don't have an expectation that weekends and/or evenings are automatically spent together. For me, it's an issue of coordinating time to spend with each other as part of our schedule, as opposed to conforming our schedules to one another by default.

I would call it non-committal. If you’re cool with that, so be it. If you’re not, time to move on.

A relationship. Every relationship should be discussed and you should both have an understanding of the expectations and be able to agree on them. If you don't, it's not a relationship yet, just a negotiation.

From years of experience I'd call it marriage.

Nothing based in reality.

I would call it my kind of relationship. That has been what most of my relationships have been, what I prefer and still look for to this day.

Wistful thinking

Something that sounds like one party who doesn't want pressure to have a commitment but wants sex as needed.

It sounds like it's not casual.

Not my cup of tea. But I don't do monogamy or casual. To each their own.

Not casual to me. To me casual means you can sleep with whoever you want.

I never been a slave owner. I never owned anyone. Not even my wife when used to have one, she wasn't mine.

Is it a new relationship or have they been together for awhile?
