Ask a guy for dates without commitment or intimacy?

[dreamingee]

Ok.. The only reason am able to ask this here is bcoz am anonymous.. 😀
Am single for over 5 years now.. divorced after I moved out of an emotionally abusive relationship
Have a child on the autism spectrum.. so don't believe am going to find the one any time soon..

But I do get lonely for time to time... n just want to spend sometime with someone talking.. movies.. dinner... Just something..

What would a guy think if I asked him for casual dates without any commitments or physical intimacy.. maybe once in 2 weeks or a month.. go for a movie.. or have dinner.. While we continue to look for the one... if they even exist..

And if either he or I think it's not a good idea after a few times.. Then stop meeting.. etc.,

If you think it's a crazzzy or risky idea.. Pls let me know..

There's nothing wrong with casual dates to keep eachother company. This could also be seen as a close friendship or a couple that take things extremely slowly.

No matter how you look at it I'm sure people would love to get to know you more and spend time with you :)

I think its a crazy and risky idea, because you might just fall for him :)

Lol.. that is something I have to think about.. mmm.. y does life have to be so complicated..

[El_Prez]

Tell me about it.

Nothing is set in stone... If one of you catch feelings the terms can always be renegotiated.

I'd personally prefer to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

I am sure that plenty of them wouldn't have an issue with that.

Seems a little like you're using them. But... I dunno.

[dreamingee]

Using them.. is Obv not my intention.. the person in mind has been divorced for years too.. he has a child too.. n had said many times he is not interested in a serious relationship or marriage at all.. but also said he likes me.. am assuming as a good friend..

U still think it's wrong?

[HamAndCheese]

Seems more like a hangout than a date.

[dreamingee]

Yes... a hangout would be a better term.. if I every do ask.. I'll make sure I use that word..
