Casual dating may at times turn into serious relationships

Life is truly unpredictable. You don’t really know what destiny has got in store for you. Someone you date casually may turn out to be the love of your life and life starts moving in the right direction. However, it is important that you understand that someone you date causally may be good enough to be your partner and would love and respect you all your life.

Casual dating Vs serious relationship

Perfect date

Casual dating may at times be a mutual agreement that usually does not involve a lot many restrictions. It gives you the liberty to date others, as you really do not look forward to have a future with your partner. In a serious relationship on the other hand, you are much more concerned with the friends, family member, plans and life of your prater. You agree to remain faithful to your partner who agrees to do the same. You are emotionally involved in a relationship that no doubt affects each aspect of your life.

Casual relationships with a twist

Sometimes casual relationship turns into a serious relationship and you hardly get to know about it. Someone who used to be in the back of your mind may govern your thoughts and emotions and you do not even feel any awkwardness in your life routine.

Here are a few signs that indicate that a casual relationship is something more than that:

You feel at ease

When you feel surprisingly comfortable around your partner and call each other by nicknames that sound wacky, you must know that it is something much more than a causal relationship. You no longer feel the need to be at your best behavior or pay attention towards your looks. It seems as if you know deep in your heart that nothing makes a difference. Your close friends usually know where to find you but if they always expect you to be with your friend with benefits, there is something wrong. You find yourself checking on your partner to see how he/she is doing even when there is no need to do so.

You love being with each other

Unlike a casual relationship, couples love to spend time with each other. You know that you can include him/her in your plans sometimes even without asking him/her. Without giving it a serious thought, you find yourself sitting in his/her living room to meet his/her parents, you have your fingers crossed and hopes up to impress them.

It could be mere attraction towards him/her, which may fade away with time, and if that happened, you sure would find yourself in the middle of nowhere. Pay attention to your family members and friends to divert your attention so that you can be sure about your feelings and give the right direction to your life.

Make a decision

If you really seem to like your partner and feel that you could be spend your life with him/her, make up your mind. You do not have to confront him/her or demand him/her to commit but change yourself to convey a strong message. If he/she seems interested and is mentally prepared to take this relationship further, you can express your true feelings. On the contrary, when he/she seems hesitant and fails to live up to your expectations you must move on in life, as you deserve better.

It would not be surprising if your friend with benefits turns out to be the love of your life. However, it is important to make sure that he/she feels the same way for you and is ready to commit.
