Why Would She Choose a Casual Relationship Over a Serious One?

By , About.com GuideOctober 5, 2011

Follow me on:

Scott wants to know what he can do about a woman he's recently reunited with after a 30-year absence. She can't decide between dating Scott - knowing he wants something long-term and potentially lifelong - and the casual, going-nowhere relationship she's been in and out of for years.

For the details (as well as my in-depth answer) take a peek at Why Can't She Decide Between a Casual Fling or Something More? In the meantime, what would you recommend to Scott, a gentleman who can't fathom why a woman wouldn't choose a long-term and stable relationship over an ongoing fling? Have you been in a similar position? What did you do?

(1) dating double says:

Scott should play hard to get. I think he has made himself to available and should follow your advice Bonnie and cut off contact from his end. Meaning if she calls he should answer but not give her too much, be evasive with making plans, insinuate business, and basically have her chasing him. This women wants a challenge and Scott should give it to her. Keep in mind tho that what Bonnie is saying makes sense, if you are looking for a comfortable relationship this isn’t it..
