Casual or Committed Dating



Seeking relationships these days are more challenging now than ever. Many people live busy lives (i.e. school, work, and family obligations), and for some people, their lives are not conducive to establish a relationship. Consequently, many of those same people choose to date multiple people, or have a few people in their lives to date. Whatever choices people make in their dating lives, the decision should be concise and be clearly defined to everyone involved.
Most people have objectives on what they want to do with their dating lives. Although people fluctuate from dating to relationships, the decision is clear: most people choose to be short-term casual daters or long-term committed daters. If a person chooses to date multiple partners, then that person should be prepared to have short-term, instant gratification when they are dating. Because there is no commitment of a relationship, the person understands that they are “living in the moment”, and over time, both parties could decide to move on.
In contrast, if a person is looking for a potential relationship, then that person should limit the amount of people to date, as they want to find the right match. Sometimes, this may take a person dating more people than they would like to find that person.  In order for the committed dater to develop a relationship, the committed dater is to find the match, so that a healthy, romantic relationship develops.  However, one should be advised that relationships take many sacrifices to become successful to thrive.
