A casual relationship/just dating

[Arsenal123]

I'm half a year out of a serious relationship and I am feeling like I would like to spend time with someone for company and a physical relationship.

I recently got in touch with an old friend and I think we may both be interested. However I know I don't want it to be serious. Obviously they need to feel the same but even if they did is this bad territory?

I would say that if you are both on the same page then there is nothing wrong with it. Problems happen when 1 wants more than the other.

Good luck & let us know how it goes

You can only judge yourself if it's bad territory or not. It's relatively easy to say, in the cold light of day, that you don't want something to be serious but it requires quite a conscious level of emotional detachment to keep it that way. If you've not long exited a long-term relationship that can also leave gaps beyond companionship and sex. If you've been in the habit of being 'us', your casual relationship can quickly start to feel like a replacement. And then there's the feelings of the other person - which you have to watch like a hawk in case they're getting too attached.

Good luck
