I don't take girls out on dates if I don't see any LTR potential, that's why I rarely go on them. If I just want something casual like a FWB I'm not wasting my money. That's how as a guy you take losses

Why does the intention you have in your mind even matter? What matters more is that you clearly and directly communicate your intention to your mate from the start.

I see the relationships you speak of from time to time, but it's always because the person who never had intention to be in a LTR never communicated that to their mate, even though their mate says they want a LTR. In this case, it's sort of a deception and wasting another person's time.

Guilty. It was nice to have a bf, but since it was my first one, we were exclusive but I had the feeling I wanted to date other people eventually. Even though when we were first dated I thought I wanted to marry my first boyfriend, but it was just the idea I was interested in, not the person.

No. We both lived in a seasonal resort and at the end of the season I knew I was moving on and he was as well.It was great while it lasted.Neither one of us was looking for an LTR.

This does happen sometimes, Summer romances, people visiting a place temporarily etc might often intend to have a fling that goes much further-Even though they both know a certain point in time is going to separate them. Entire books and films have been written about this.

That is the kind of situation you need to get out of as quickly as possible if the other person is looking for a long-term commitment. Stat. It is only fair to free them up.

It's only fair to be completely honest and let them make that decision for themselves

You're right. The decision was that they wanted a LT relationship and, in one case, insistent on kids, and I did not. I got out of the way and told them why. I could have done so more quickly, but it was quick enough.
