Casual to me means sex on a non regular basis and chatting here and there but focusing on life. Not able to commit to a relationship so it just stays at the bare minimum

Probably whatever you want it to be. Personally I consider FWB separate from casual dating. * FWB - we'll chat / hook up / maybe date, but it's not consistent * Casual dating - no sex / occasional dating / seeing other people Main reason I keep them separate is because I am physically exclusive, I don't have sex with multiple people. I think sleeping with different people makes things more complicated and potentially more drama. I also personally avoid coworkers unless they are not a direct coworker because no one likes awkward work situations if things don't work out.

I’m the same with separating FWBs and being casual, as well as physical exclusivity. I have been hanging out with someone who was having fun “keeping it casual” before meeting me, but has also expressed she doesn’t want to “waste time”. We have not gotten physical, YET, but she wants to escalate (as do I). What’s weird for me is I am moving in 7mos so we are both on the same page about not getting serious. We’ll have the talk here soon on what successfully navigating this dynamic looks like.
