what do you consider “too romantic” for a casual relationship?

r/

It can be in terms of sex and how you treat each other before/during/after sex, how often you talk to each other or what you talk about, what you’ll do socially etc., just curious what things people consider as crossing the line from a non-committed relationship into genuine relationship and how you convey that.

    If two people have agreed upon boundaries and one person goes beyond them, then that is ‘too romantic’.

    So if you are FWB with someone and you decide that you don’t do flowers or dates or pet names and then you start doing that without a conversation, then you have crossed a line. It doesn’t matter if you were trying to be romantic.

    It isn’t about the what, it is about the boundaries of the relationship.

    It is like when you see someone propose in public in front of a crowd and the person being asked cleared doesn’t want to be proposed to in public. It may be romantic but it is ‘too romantic’ as it went beyond a boundary.

    When she starts talking about the other dudes she’s dating, comparing it to what you give and starts wanting more out of you
