Dating with out the pressure of a serious relationship. Often times a vauge reference to a loose relationship, although it doesn't have to be a sexual relationship. Casual dating can be a confusing term.
Too vauge for examples, open to interpretation.

Not hooked to one person. It can be non sexual relationship or loose relationship, but mostly one or both partners will go with other people.
I will go with this girl or guy tonight . I don't want to have that pressure. We are casually dating .

"A casual date is an evening, a meal, or a get-together of some kind in which there is no expectation of further commitment on either side. Although one side may desire a further relationship, it is understood that both parties are free to sample the company of each other and are as equally free to terminate any sense of relationship as well."

Casual dating is dating one or more persons, romantically and sexually, with the intention of possibly dating this person/s exclusively and/or getting into a relationship with said person/s.

Casual dating is the stage just before dating someone, exclusively.

Also, dating someone exclusively is the stage before getting into a relationship with someone; i.e. boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

Casual Dating is a loose way of dating. Being able to say Boyfriend Girlfriend yet be able to have sex with as many people as you want.

When you've deleted your dating apps and you're excited to see where this thing goes. Even though, let's be honest, all you were gonna find on HER is a prison mama. And you're definitely not sleeping around even though the term you used to describe the situation to the girl you're interested in was accidentally horrifying.
