tarris: Which is the better way and why?
Somewhere in between those two options would be cool.
Casual is meaningless for me. I'd rather be on my own.
I couldn't offer a full me in a committed relationship right at this point in time.
... perhaps someone who is attracted to me as I am to him, a boyfriend/girlfriend arrangement....that doesn't mean friends with benefits....it means exclusive. Someone I can be spontaneous with, pick up the phone and call and get away for the weekend at the last minute. Someone who understands I can't be available to him all the time. I do miss being with a man....the emotional and physical intimacy.

Excuse all that spiel. I mis-read the question....

tomcatwarne: As Rumpole would say, a very autistic answer.
For myself I am committed if I love someone, they have my undivided love always.
Having said that i have known some very strong minded women and I don't believe anyone should be dominated and used because of their devotion.
But I believe a couple in a relationship should be committed to each other 100%.
Nothing wrong with a strong-minded woman Tom, but I do get you on not needing to be dominated. I run and duck for cover if someone is being too controlling. Though having said that, I prefer strong men who take control of the wheel occasionally...especially in certain areas of the partnership.
no one is committed...to love someone...it is born out of friendship. that grows over time...(eg)..like a nice log fire. the warmeth /relaxing feeling inside.ones self.if so..that fire will never go out......if you get my drift.
