I am pretty new to dating. I met my ex just before my 20th and we were together over 12 years. Split end of last year. I have no intention of anything serious right now - it’s too early.
I recently posted about breaking up with a 4 month casual because he didn’t have enough time for me (not his words, his actions). I didn’t want all the time but it had been over a month and he flaked on plans (again) so that didn’t suit me anymore.
So am I wanting too much? I’m looking for someone who wants to go out once-twice a fortnight, get drinks/ go to events, etc. Go back to each other’s houses and be able to be light friends - share funny memes occasionally etc. but only text a couple of times a week. Nothing heavy. Is this unrealistic? My casual did all I wanted, bar the timeframes.
I’m back on the swiping game but I want to get my expectations right this time. Is that a reasonable thing to outlay?
If you’ve had a casual relationship, how did you get it right?
