I had a date Saturday Night and really had a good time to be honest. Right now I'm just looking to date around. the girl I went with seemed that she really wanted something serious and fast from the vibe I picked up.

She texted me yesterday saying she had a great time and wants to see me again

I'd like to see her but don't want to lead her on if we aren't wanting the same thing.

Would it be ok to ask her what she's looking for? If she is wanting something serious right away?

OP, i think it's the right thing to do to ask her.

Although it's pretty early in your relationship, setting up clear expectations (eg monogamous vs. polygamous relationship) will help her to decide if she still wants to continue dating you, and vice versa. And feels are less obviously less like to get hurt, as well.

I just feel like if I don't ask we could end up wasting each other's time. I don't want her thinking I'm wanting something serious

Since she texted. . . guess that's the chosen means of communication, you could just text back and say, "Me too, had a good time. Maybe we can get together again before too long."

That way (or however you'd prefer to word it); you're not committing to another date right away.

So tell her what you are looking for.

I think mishigas73 is correct. Sounds like a better idea.

What's so difficult about being forthcoming and honest about your dating expectations?

i think instead of sending a text, or a phone call, if you have one idea of where you want the relationship to go, and she has another, then you two need to sit down and TALK it out. do it over coffee or lunch, or other casual type atmosphere. be straight with her about what you want from this relationship, and if she finds it acceptable, then continue to date her while openly dating other women.

I think it should be made clear very early on what you are looking for. And be honest from the get go. Don't say you want to be married, if
You really only want a glorified friends with benefits that you call your girlfriend.
