I don’t know how to feel about relationships anymore. I’m getting the sense that more people are into casual, non-committal relationships, but I don’t see the point in getting into a relationship if you don’t see potential/want to commit long term.

Sometimes I feel naive or dumb, but I conveniently forget that sex is a primary driver for men, and to a lesser degree women, at least in the initial stages of a relationship. One of the values of a relationship is the intimacy of knowing a person and being known yourself. That shouldn’t be shared on a whim with anyone, and intimacy doesn’t just mean physical, in fact quite the contrary. Rather, the breadth of intimacy includes emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and goes on.
