ThoughtGrenade: Casual Dating Isn’t Sex!

But they came from a time where if a woman wasn't married, they were considered a nonentity, or even worse, a woman who has to do it all herself. Casual dating for me, has been the most amazing thing ever. And I haven't had sex in four years. So it's not about sex. There's been women that I could have had sex with, but I would have had to have been in a long term relationship. I was talking with this lady recently

You’re not alone with your assumptions, but you’re also wrong. #thoughtgrenade #dating

It sounds like you are a person that participates, looking for those connections, looking for those conversations, and valuing the person who is right alongside you participating. Yeah. And I just think it's about developing the tools that help casual dating become a more fulfilling experience and just being confident in yourself. Other than that, I think there are various definitions of what that could be for people. I think just as long as people make it clear

Obviously, love and romance can occur at any stage, but I think if people can become a bit more self aware and just want to understand what terms mean and, like, even polyamorous. Right. They get it. Not ethically monogamous types, they get really the worst because everybody assumes that they want sex. So it's interesting. Wait a minute. Wait a minute here. Could it be doing something non traditional is automatically only sex motivated? Hmm

I don't presume that it is only in the polyamorous lifestyle that is maybe being the source of their issues, but I think, and this is just as a tangent, but I think there's a realization from that and just even to the wider scope of people who may not even be at polyamorous. But where I'm seeing the problems arise with loving relationships is that many people are not fully developed emotionally

Diana, can I just say thank you for being able to share experiences you've had not only as a person, but also as counsel in the quest for love and romance. And it's changing. Well, maybe it's not changing, but perhaps we're finding better ways to express what was already there. I mean, back in the days when we were amongst the neanderthals, do you think we were consummating love and marriage? No, that concept didn't exist yet
