Casual relationship or no relationship at all?  (read more below)?

casual dating is the WORST!  my best friend was in that position b 4.  It basically means that she will have a date with you on the nights she cant get someone else.  sorry to be the bare of bad news, but thats really how it is.  if she wont be serious with you now, the feelings wont grow and their isn't a future.  she will stick w/ you for some action on the lonely nights.

Dating is less serious... like if you go out with someone... doesn't mean that you have any kind of commitment... it's just like maybe you go out to dinner with them...  a boyfreind/girlfreind there is a commitment, you belong to each other.  I think the difference is mainly the commitment...

Why not continue to stay in the "friends" mode for a while?  Let it run its natural course, your relationship, that is. ;.D  Continue to grow in your own life, and enjoy the communications between the two of you.  Don't try to force things to happen, and if it is meant to be, you will know when the time is right.  Time allows you to really get to know someone, and their quirks!

Ask him if he wants to go hang out sometime just as a casual get together, see how that goes.  He might ask you to go out then, and if not, then you will be in a more comfortable situation and then ask him.

Single is good for awhile. My guy friend reminded me of the concept of "dating". You are going back out into the social scene and just meeting new people. Forming a friendship is the most healthy way to building a romantic relationship. Your giving yourself and your friend, time to really honestly, get to know each other inside and out. Jumping in is never healthy. If your jumping in for the wrong reasons (lonliness, a "need" for a mate), then you will soon find your relationship ending in a firey crash and burn. Practice patience with your new friend. It's ok to be attracted to him/her but keep a level head and don't let your emotions rule your decisions. I am experiencing this very phenomena about building a friendship first. Together, we are keeping level heads, (even though he is just so dang hot), and it is much more fulfilling and healthy, than any relationship I've had before. The communication is great, we understand and accept where we stand with each other, and we're keeping the door open for the possibility of a wonderful, romantic, relationship to develop. I admit, it's not easy. I am still learning the whole patience thing myself. But this is so good, and healthy. I wish you luck, and hope that you will not jump in to something out of desparation. Be positive, be patient, and ask God to help. God Bless you friend.

That's up to you and when you feel ready for one. Why not just casually date for now and not allow yourself to start falling deeply for someone?

If you have been friends then keep the date on that level.... ask her to a movie and milk shake or something along those lines..... ease into the transition of being friends to the next step... the casual time will give her and you the time to see if it is even possibles to go from the friendship thing to the boy/girl friend thing...... with NO pressure ........ just to see if it will work out........ God bless

When you realize that the relationship isn't meeting your needs and conclude that it isn't going to any time soon...\n\nMany relationships are "dead" or go nowhere, there is no definitive "line in the sand" that is crossed. The line is really internal, a realization that continuing is pointless.

Sleeper_grrl has the right attitude.  If you want a good relationship, then you should be able to talk with the guy.  If you can't talk to a man about what he feels, then he is not someone you want a long term relationship with.

Being unexperierienced is not somthing to be feeling "a how about."  We are and wer inexperience din everything in life until we were either taught or learned on our own through experiences. Personally I do not feel any one person can give you the advice you seek, but I do know that if this is someone you care for, and are in that phase of your relationship, then just take you time and do what comes naturally. Being that close and interacting in a physical manner does not require and instruction booklet. As you begin the process simply be gentle, and aware of the 'vibes' you receive. Just as you can tell if a person is in a room is interested in you, the same way you can tell what is good and works and whats not so good. It is a learning process together, and also if you have the key to any relationship "communication', then a small discussion after (not necessarily immediately after) always helps. I have been in a sucessful realtionship for 11 yrs and I know that regardless of the situation, (1) we are all inexperienced at something at sometime, (2) life is about trial and error, (3) Nothing works or can survive without communication.\nMy best advice is "Do what comes naturally."

That one might be considered asexual ("without sex).\n\nIt's possible, though, that you haven't found anyone that you're interested in, so I wouldn't be hasty to label yourself as asexual just yet.  It may merely be a matter of finding the "right person." (Just an opinion).

omg! I wouldn't call that a relationship. Sorry, my opinion. Sounds like u don't do what pple in relationships do. Find some else.

yes, unless it is specified that your just 'hanging out' but not all people take dating very seriously, so it might also be called 'hanging out- that might lead to some serious haning out' hahaha. Seriously though:)

Yes, please know what your intentions are before you do this though. If he is a friend, then you do not want to ruin the relationship. Are you only interested in a one time fling and still be friends? Do you want a meaningful relationship with commitment? Figure this out first and then go in with a open mind and hear out your suitor. Do be afraid to find that he wants to only be friends. Friends have more fun and are more intimate when there atracted to one another but know it will never go beyond that point...

Think about the times when you are not with this guy, do you feel like your relationship is helping you or hurting you?  It sounds like you could be in an non-exclusive relationship, which is OK as long as it's not causing either of you more harm than good. \n\nI would suggest that you examine your own feelings as best you can and decide if you want to ask this guy for a committed, exclusive relationship - Is he really what you want? Once you tell him that's what you want and clearly define it, then you can see what he says.  If you feel you can trust him offer to wipe the slate clean and pursue an honest monogamous relationship with him.  Then if he strays it's time to move on.  \n\nJust be sure that continuing a relationship with this guy is what you want. If this whole situation is driving you crazy and upsetting you, take that in to consideration.\n\nA breakup is painful, but it will get better.  Staying in a bad relationship can just keep the distress alive.\n\nWe learn many lessons in life, most of them are not easy.  Everyone here can give you their opinion, but none of us are you.  Ask yourself "Am I a happier and better person over all by staying in this relationship?"  And Listen to your answer from within and follow it.

You can't make a person do something if they don't want to do it.  Maybe he is ready for a casual relationship, and not something serious. The not calling thing is probably his way of saying, I want to take it slower.  I would just ease up on calling him, and just leave a casual message every now and then, and see what happens from there.  If he doesn't change in an appropriate amount of time, I would move on.
