Is it possible to be attracted to someone, enjoy having sex with them, get along with them, admit you compliment each other and care a lot about the person and still not want to be with them in a relationship? Anyone felt like that before?
Is this possible or just rubbish?
Seems possible, but I wonder what's the difference between that and a relationship.
Very possible. Isn't that what modern day dating is about?

No commitment or responsibility.click to expand
Commitment means exclusivity?
And what responsibity?
Yes of course. I agree, I think it’s when one of you or both of you are waiting for something better. But also sometimes people aren’t ready to settle down, or they know it’s just fun until they get that job in Hawaii or whatever, and they don’t want to get too attached. Or they want an open relationship. Lots of people have open relationships? Not sure I understand your question anymore.

I feel like the responsibility of maintaining a relationship lolz
A relationship is something that takes effort and actual care and commitment to maintain.... On both ends
Some people don't want that and that's OK but yah it definitely can't be forced imo xclick to expand
I see your point, but there are ppl neglecting that commitment when in a relationship.
Sure, you can't force it

Yes. I had a situationship like this with a Virgo male for 1 year in my younger days, and it worked out great. Lol.
The Virgo man I know seems to be like that, too!
But I can't ask for his opinion

Yeah it means you are waiting for someone better to come along eh.
Very likely but...I don't know, it's kinda complex.

Commitment means exclusivity?
And what responsibity?
Exclusivity is part of what I demand in a commitment, but what it means generally is that you've agreed to be together on terms you've set. Responsibility is living up to the terms of that agreement, as Lethal said, as well as having the other person's back in a number of capacities, being there to support the other when shit isn't fun. A person who doesn't want any of that responsibility might still like you enough to hang and have sex with you when the mood strikes.click to expand
I agree that exclusivity is a must in relationship, though ppl can change their mind afterwards, another thing.
What confuses me is when a person cares for you, tries to help, etc. but does not want to be attached

What do you not understand about it?click to expand
Let's say exclusivity and responsibility are 2 main factors in a relationship, if one does the latter, it's not necessary that s/he doesn't want to be exclusive but perhaps s/he doesn't like the other enough, no?

Maybe they blow smoke up the person's ass to keep them compliant, but really don't care. Maybe they like the person a lot, but not enough to commit. Maybe they care but already have someone they're cheating on. Maybe they care but are a real-life loner, not interested in a traditional relationship.click to expand
Yea, it's complicated, and I've got much to learn

How are you viewing ‘this’? If it’s not a rs - what is it? 🤔

Aries wouldn’t understand that right? 👍

Please elaborate.

You get married and suddenly, your husband/wife no longer wants to have sex with you. You're lucky if you have sex once a year, and when it does happen, it's for your birthday and seems like a chore to them.

1. They express their feelings
“Whether it’s a hand-written card or simply an email expressing their love, people in happy relationships take the time to let their partner know how much they matter to them,” says Syrtash, “especially on Valentine’s Day.”
Because I don't have one, and I'm sure it's a few people here who don't have one either.
It's not that important, and you don't even have to like/crush on the DXPer..
