does casual relationship imply sexual?
when people say casual relationship, does that basically mean friends with benefits? because i want something that's low commitment and casual (i've never had a partner before so don't feel ready to commit yet) but i don't want people to think that i just want sex b/c that's not true, i'm wondering if there's a better way to put it x
It does to some, and not to others.
IMHO, a casual relationship is like at the "seeing each other" stage, maybe once or twice a week, say (or whatever suits you). with all the calls, texts etc. in between. Ditto, sometimes feelings may or may not be involved. Generally playing things by ear,... but TBF, this is how most relationships start (i.e. they eventually become serious, or they peter out (for whatever reason)).
On the other hand, a serious relationship you're spending all the time together (living together or one spends almost all their time at the others place), you've done formal things like met each others' families (and they approve), go on holiday together and when you're attending family or work functions they're normally your "plus one". You're also likely to be planning a long-term future together (e.g. marriage, kids etc.).
As I said, most relationships start of as fairly casual (IMHO, it would be unwise to make a real commitment to anyone without getting to know them properly first).

that makes sm sense, thank you so much!
As with @Old Skool Freak I view it as more than a FWB situation. You are going out, seeing each other, having fun but without any commitment.
It doesn’t have to be something which may develop into a relationship. As someone who is big on casual things, I certainly don’t intend most of them to become something serious.

Casual relationships can involve non-sexual casual dating as well as fwb and no strings arrangements.
As longs as both people are crystal clear that the purpose is casual fun with no intention for any long term commitment or sexual exclusivity.
But never assume that any date is automatically looking for a relationship.
Nor fwb or casual sex arrangements until they say that they are.
Some people are only looking to find a convenient ons that they won't interact with again, while others are dating for marriage.

Omd this post reminded me of something embarrassing when I was in year 8.
I was in RE and there was a discussion about maintaining relationships with friends.
Now I said “friends with benefits” in the context that having friends can become convenient in job opportunities/ socialising etc NOT IN THE NONO NATURE. And my RE teacher looked at me weird but my dumbass didn’t realise what the word actually meant 😭😭😭😭
