I haven't dated for 2 years now and I've just met someone who has shown interest in wanting to get to know me. We've run into some differences and we've worked it out and still wanting to get to know one another. We both said that we'll let the future take it where ever it’s best and start to date causally so that we could get to know one another.

Because I haven't dated in such a long time and the last relationship I had lasted for 4 years that I don’t know what does it mean to causally date someone.

I told the person I met that all I ask from him is to be honest with me. We both said that we’re both not stopping each other from getting to know other people. I don’t know if I'm just making dating harder then it really is, I just don’t know what to prepare myself for anymore.

So what does causally dating mean?

IMO it's where you go and do things together, platonically, unemcumbred and without any sexual relationship. You spend time together because you enjoy each other's friendship and company.

Causal and casual are two different things, I assume you mean casual

yeah. i think it means no strings or committment or expectations. just enjoy each others company (or find out if you enjoy each others company) and if you decide you don't want to see him again you can just say that, and if you decide you want to be more involved then you can just say that too...

and since you aren't committed to each other or anything like that then yeah you can go out with other people too if you would like.

i think it is nice if there is an agreement that if the person starts to feel serious about someone else (or makes more of a committment to being in a relationship with someone else) that they let you know. as you said, honesty is good. but aside from that... have fun :-)
