When you women are dating, and you say you "aren't serious", but the relationship has potential, what does this typically mean? That you haven't had sex yet? To me, "not serious" means sex and/or serious feelings aren't involved yet. Yes?

YouWish agony auntI'm guessing that there will be many answers to this one.

I don't have sex unless I'm serious with someone. If I was "not serious", then there's no sex yet. I have to have serious feelings with someone and I want to have gotten to know someone before having sex with them.

I know some people use the sex in the "getting to know" process, but it's a risk. I would not want to be pregnant or catch herpes from someone I barely knew or didn't have serious feelings for. Potential is what it is - potential.

Also, I think sex sometimes interferes with the getting to know phase. Once it's introduced, much of the relationship focuses on it, and blind spots are created where they shouldn't be.

Sex never causes someone to fall head over heels for someone. However, when you fall head over heels, the sex is magnificent, meaningful, and wonderful. You've spent time building the relationship foundation.

chigirl agony auntNah, to me "nothing serious" means you are still out there looking for others, still dating others and flirting, and checking out the dating field, even if you are sleeping with someone. "Not serious" also means you aren't going to introduce the person to your family or friends, and you don't see a long term potential in the relationship.

However, if "nothing serious" is added with "has potential" it means you're still in the process of getting to know the person, and are on the edge of choosing whether or not this might be someone you want to commit too and be exclusive with.
