Love Advice | Distinguishing the Casual-Relationship Type From the Marrying Type

According to the popular fictional character Forrest Gump, life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you are going to get. If you think about it, the same analogy can apply when meeting women throughout your life. In the beginning, you never know what that woman is like; her personality is still an enigma to you, and so are her intentions.

When dating, it is important that both of you should be on the same path. If you are looking for a casual relationship and she is looking for someone to date or to marry, or vice versa, the relationship is bound for a hard crash. It then goes without saying that in order for you to have a satisfactory relationship with someone, both of your intentions should align. But how do you figure that out? Well, here are a few key differences between a woman who’s simply looking for a casual relationship and a woman who’s in it for the long haul.

The Casual Type

• Very minor discussions about children or the idea of a future seem to repulse her. Once this topic is brought by someone, even if it’s not you, she will quickly move away from the conversation or just redirect the topic.
• She isn’t interested in divulging personal matters or shows interest in yours for that matter. Although this can also mean she’s just not the type of person who immediately opens up to someone else, a woman who’s looking for a man to marry will open up more easily than a woman who’s only looking for a casual fling. She will have no reason to tell you key elements in her life if she’s expecting the relationship to end at some point.
• Sex is the greatest factor in your relationship. That doesn’t sound like such a bad thing, right? Well, it does if you are thinking about settling down and she isn’t. Nothing much else about you interest her aside from the fact that you’re good in bed together. No mental connection or everlasting chemistry whatsoever—just a relationship that revolves around sexual healing. But if you’re the type who is also looking for a casual thing, this could be the perfect relationship for you.
• She only talks to you before, during, and after seeing each other. This is not always true for everyone, but this is a key factor when spotting a woman whose goal is a short-term relationship.

The Marrying Type

• She’s very open about letting you meet her family. This is most especially true if you are into interracial relationships where the background of the foreign women is heavily family-oriented. Once you cross this line, know that you’re certified to be her future husband in her mind.
• She’s not afraid of talking about her past, her present, and her future. She will tell you everything. Her childhood, high school and college life, how her life is as of the moment, and how she wants her future to be—as if briefing you of her entire being. Though some women who are into casual flings will do this too, here’s how you can really tell them apart: She will ask for yours too. She will want to know everything. And once you tell her, she will take all of that information to heart.
• She will drop hints. A woman who is only looking for a casual relationship will be scared to the bones of doing this and feel similarly if you do it too. But a woman who wants to get married will let you know, subtly or upfront, depending on the woman.
• She will talk about other married couples she knows. She’ll start mentioning how amazing it is when a couple that she knows got married. She’ll start saying how much better their relationship became and spiels of similar notions. Once she does these things, the wedding bells aren’t that far down the line.

This is a great piece of love advice for everyone who is in the dating scene, whether you are looking for a casual fling or a potential life partner. Although it doesn’t really take the most precise of perceptions to differentiate the two, it would still be best to burn these topics into your mind before you meet single women. With that said, always go for the woman whose intentions align with yours. There are a lot of both, and a lot of the women who are looking to marry are right here on this site. Is that something you’re looking for too? Are you looking to find a woman online? Well, now you know where to look, and now you know how to spot both kinds of women.
