What do you think of dating "just for fun?"?

She might be looking long term, someone to marry maybe...

You on the other hand, are looking for the opposite...

Operating like a business: Less Work with More Pay.

If you are dating just for "fun", it is inappropriate for the girl to expect you to foot the bill every time. Mostly the agreement is to go "dutch"...each pays his/her own way. Generally dating for fun is done between friends and isn't really considered dating. If you are looking for something other than a relationship, let it be known up front rather than leaving the other person wondering. It's rather unfair to string them along. Best to get the details out of the way after the first couple of dates. Most likely she asked because she was confused about where the "fun" was leading and didn't want to assume anything.

Just for fun means that you aren't looking for a committment... Uhm, MOST dates are like that.

I think the real question is... what did YOU think was going on?

I think that she was sure it was just the two of you dating for fun.

It seems like you thought that you paying for the date meant that you were buying her affection or something. What gave you that idea?

Dating for fun is just that. Satisfying each other's need for companionship at that particular time. No stupid emotional attachments. Those ALWAYS get in the way of fun.

Worrying about the money thing is a real turn off. The MAN is always gonna pay for the goodies! Whether he goes out and buys a hooker for the night, or gets married... YOU are GOING TO PAY if you want the goodies... Pay now or on the installment plan!

I always thought just for fun means just for one thing. Some people are in a very physical orientated relationship, and really only get together for sex, not much else really. But I wouldnt really concider that even a dating. These sorts of relationships are kept secret lol. (Not that I would knw..)

I think what she means is do you really like her and care about her enough to become more serious, do more stuff together hang out alot etc and be her man, introduce her to your family and friends, see each other on a more emotional level? This happens naturally if you really like or love someone. or do you just want to have sex and be done with it and if you meet some else then thats cool too.

But you would know if you were really serious and wanted to committ, You just always want to be with them day in and day out. If you dont feel this way tell her, but say not yet anyway, and that you would like to get to know her (if you do).

So what I am trying to say is I agree with you. It doesnt make sense to date just for fun. From a guys point of view, he pays in the hope that she delivers at some stage? Unless he starts to fall for her (some gurls are pretty good at that)... Then I guess she has the upper hand,..and well lets just say a player could quite possibly get played...paying and paying and falling more and more for her. I had this happen to me a few times and let me tell you, it can be alot of fun until you meet someone else. Lets just jealously does funny things to guys.

But yes,I do agree with dating someone, you dont sleep with them just both grow closer together etc, and that can become a more commited realtionship if you start to like them and they like you alot more... then you go to another level. Before that level, well thats the fun part.

When i think of dating "just for fun" i see a "not so serious relationship" Usually girls would like to know this because they might be wasting their time with a guy they like, and end up breaking up because of a not so serious relationship. Also dating "just for fun" is just like a fling,eventually you guys would break up.There are some guys that dont take dating with girls so seriously..and end up using the girl for their entertainment or sex, so maybe she just wanted to know?I hope this helped?

I think that most girls want to say they are ok with being casual with dating, but once a guy that they are dating admits that they really are casually dating or hesitates when asked about their dating status, she imediately feels depreciated, even if she was putting out the vibe that she was ok with that status. Deep down inside, she was probably hoping that she meant something more or was on the track to meaning something more to you than just a casual date.

Lol....she loved you dude...loll....it's fun but you gotta do the right way? Atleast you be with someone you trust feel great next to be around and with all the benefits, and not all the time....i don't see any other points possible.

Kimmie, you're a doll and a smart girl. It's hard to find both in the same package, so I hope you don't mind me saying it. There was a time we had something called playing the field, or social dating. It didn't involve sex, believe it or not.

just make sure the other person is also dating just for fun. and stays tat way cause sometimes the girls fall in" love" and dont want to stop and is really hard to get rid of them

Well what I think, is u just hang with the person, know them, go out to dinner...but if it gets all romantic-ey like kissing across the table at a expensive restaurant...it isn't anymore.

but if ur like, making out at a club rave thing, it's just for fun.
