Personally i cant see it going anywhere, for him its just sex and nothing else. My ex hid behind casual relationships, so he could see more than one girl at once. Its all about having your cake and eating it, in a guilt free way.
It can if you're not careful.
The thought of such a complex situation makes me feel ill. You're probably best off leaving this person alone if they have expressed that they do not want a relationship (with you or just in general?).
not if you're looking for different things...and it seems like you definitely are...
save yourself
yea i guess your all right :smile: thank you! and since you all said pretty much the same thing its probably for best! i'll do a runner on him and he'll think i'm playing hard to get! u guys are so complex!

I'm in a relationship that just started as casual.. really casual.

Now I'm totally in love with her.
Casual sex already is a relationship... of sorts. A "relationship" in the normal sense of the word is a different kind of relationship. Friendship is a kind of relationship. Any relationship works out when two people want the same type - casual sex, friendship, or going in for the long haul. When they conflict, forget about it.

Find out what he wants - more than likely it'll be casual sex. Not that he'll tell you. But find out somehow. :smile:
havervor.... how did you and your gf eventually get together? and was it a casual sex thing over a long time? i have been sleeping with my friend since christmas on and off...then he went back to uni, and now (not because of him) but i'm going to the same city as where hes at to go to uni. i reckon he'll be different in uni as to when he is at home, cant imagine him wanting to get all lovey dovey when he can have his cake from loads of girls and scoff it! I've kinda come to the conclusion, its not worth the rejection really!

Met in a bar. Decided to meet up again, we didnt start having sex for a couple of months though... Just infrequently seeing each other. Then we started havign sex and still kept things casual. I think part of the reason we ended up how we are now is because the sex was so good and that really helped us build up deep feelings for each other.

Katie, I'm not personally sure if we would have worked if we were in different cities.
Also, I'm going to uni this year and i'm not sure how thats going to work out. Half of me wants to make it a total fresh start and make clean cuts from where i live at the moment. The other half of me wants to stay with her. I'm really confused about this at the moment... and I realyl don;t know if I can handle a long distance relationship.
And If she was going to come to the same city as me the following year (when she is due to go to uni) then I really have no idea if that would be a good or bad thing. SO confused about this right now. I think the best thing to do is not make any rash decisions and just see where the road takes you.
hmmm, 2 of my friends who where a couple went to different uni's last year and they lasted about 6 months b4 things started to go wrong, i think it was mostly to do with temptation from other people, which sometimes can't be helped. I think your right about seeing where the road takes you, all i can say is have as much fun at uni as possible, otherwise you'll regret it! What does your girlfriend think about u moving away?

Half of her wants to keep it like it is - and live with seeing each other less. The other half of her wants to let it turn into an open relationship while we're apart.
Pretty much the same feelings as me - now we only have to decide what we are actually gonna do about it.

Yeah, it happened to me, but in my experience it is the exception, not the norm.
