A Guide to Casual Dating

Casual dating focuses on physical chemistry and fun rather than long-term commitment. It requires maturity and communication.

Honesty is Key

The biggest mistake in casual dating is pretending you want a relationship just to get someone into bed. That is manipulative. Be upfront: "I'm not looking for anything serious right now."

Emotional Boundaries

Decide what is "relationship territory" and what isn't. Sleepovers? Meeting friends? Daily texting? establishing these boundaries early prevents mixed signals.

Safe Sex Practices

In the casual dating world, you are likely not your partner's only partner. Condoms and regular STI screenings are non-negotiable responsibilities.
