Dating someone vs being in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

When a guy says "there was a girl who I used to date" while casually mentioning someone, does it mean he was serious about the girl or was just she just a girl he went on few dates with?

Why does it matter? You'll find out if you stay with him long enough.

It can mean either way.
