Casual dating or a casual relationship is a physical and emotional relationship between two people who may have casual sex or a near-sexual relationship without necessarily demanding or expecting the additional commitments of a more formal romantic relationship. Casual dating may or may not entail partner-exclusivity.

Is casual dating possible?

Casual dating is often (but not always) nonexclusive. People commonly assume its fine to see other people unless theres been an explicit discussion about exclusivity. Still, its always wise to have a convo about exclusivity at some point just to make sure everyones on the same page.
