If you're with a person that won't/isn't ready to commit is it crazy to wait for them to commit? Is it better to move on?
Is a casual relationship worth holding on to?

People have an expiration date. If you want to be married and starting a family, waiting for this guy could make that impossible. Only you can decide if you are willing to give that up to be with him. I think you should talk to him honestly about what you want and how long you are willing to wait. If you decide not to wait, then you should talk to new guys about your goals. It's not desperate to tell a guy that you are looking for someone who wants to settle down and start a family.

As a man, I can wait forever but prefer not to. You're either into me or not.
In your case I have one question for you. Do you wish to have children and a family? If so.. don't wait. Move on without them. IF they want you they will chase after you. If not, nothing lost except for your time together.
Most of the time I think if they aren't ready to commit to you they would have done it by now. Most people will usually say they aren't wanting to be settled down or aren't ready for a relationship but a few weeks/ months later they will be in a relationship with someone else. I guess if there reason was something serious then it may be worth it. You don't want to wait on something that may never happen and miss out on something amazing.

If you have a reason to believe that they will get to a point where they want a committed relationship with you, then waiting it out could be worth it, but don't put all your eggs in one basket.
If you've been given no reason to believe that they are moving towards a commitment, then you're probably better off moving on and finding someone else.

If you are wanting a relationship and he's not it probably best to keep looking :)

That's a 50/50. I'd say hold on a little while but no one likes to keep waiting. When you feel like something needs to change ask him again. If its the same you know what to do.

Babe move on. I waited for this guy to fully commit for 2 years and he never did. Now I moved on and Im in a good relationship.
If that person truly wanted to be with you, commitment wouldn't be an issue. -
Why would I wait for her? Why would she wait for me? If you know what you want and your partner can't meet with that, then you should obviously move on. Neither of you owe anything to the other. Shit just happens.

if a person isn't giving any indication that they want something serious then it probably doesn't make sense staying wtih them unless you ok with the assumed risk that they will never want a serious relationship

No, casual relationships are not worth it. It is better to move on.

it depends on your age and goals. it says 30-35. how important it is to have kids?

It's crazy if they don't want that. You're better off moving on to someone who loves you and wants you the same way you love and want them...

If you're looking for something more permanent and they're not it, then yes, you find someone who is. Dating is for discernment, determining whether it's a match or not. Not all of them will be a match.

Sex and companionship aren't bad. On the other hand if you want someone to make babies with maybe you need to look around.

Hold onto it as long as it is a pleasure, but maybe keep your options open and see other people too.

If the relationship starts off casual, then you can always hope it will change but you should never expect it to. So the answer is maybe yes, but probably no.
