45(f) I’d love to hear all of your long-term relationship stories, specifically those that started with casually dating someone, and how it transitioned from casual dating to a serious relationship. I’m dating a lot right now, and haven’t found my person yet. But I am dating one guy that I really like. He treats me well, but we’re just at the beginning. And it’s really hard for me to act casually, because I am really into him. I don’t want to come on too strong this early. He’s showing all the right signs and there is definite chemistry between us, but he just got out of a long relationship and doesn’t want to rush things. He didn’t say that but that’s what he wants. I’m not looking for advice, I’m just stuck in this middle land of dating and getting to know someone and feel like the transition from that to being serious is a tricky one. So I’d like to hear your stories of how you all have gotten through this transition. TLDR: Tell me about your LTR and how smooth or bumpy the road was from casual dating to committed partner submitted by /u/gogo–yubari
