Girls, if you ever said, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now," did you REALLY mean it?

I have heard girls say, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now." Here is how I interpreted that comment.

"I'm okay with just dating casually," means she wants to have sex.

"I don't want any commitment now," has two possible meanings.

EITHER

1. I JUST want sex! Don't try to become my boyfriend or I'll run away REAL lickety-split! (It's old Southern vernacular for real damned quick.)

OR

2. I've been hurt bad before and I'm not gonna admit that I still wanna find a boyfriend 'cause I'll probably just get hurt again, BUT it would be great if you became my boyfriend. So we can have sex now, and maybe that will get you hooked.

Have you ever told a guy something like, "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now?" If so, just what did you mean? Honestly?

I've never said "I'm okay with just dating casually, but I don't want any commitment now," to a guy.

I've said it, and it meant something like, "Don't try to become my boyfriend or I'll run away REAL lickety-split!"

I've said it, and it meant "I'm not gonna admit that I still wanna find a boyfriend but actually, that's what I want."

I've said it, and it meant something else that I'll explain in a comment.

I only wanted casual till I met my husband. It is called choosing wisely, so date often.

I've never said it

casual dating is waste of time at certain age

I have never told a guy this, but if I did it would mean that I just want to go on occasional dates but don’t want to be your girlfriend and definitely don’t want to get sexual with you. If I were going to prom with a guy just as friends I might say something like that.

Is that so wrong? not like I am having sex with every man on the block.

Yep I did.
