wants to date but nothing serious 

It probably means that the woman in question wants to go on dates with multiple guys but not be in a relationship with anyone specific. But please keep this in mind: ALL Women are fickle when it comes to the dating scene, so if you went on one date and it went well or she decided she had a crush on you, she'll change her mind and desires to be in a relationship with you.
ALL women that has the term "wants to date but nothing serious" in their dating profiles, it means that they'll date multiple guys. Even though these women go on multiple dates with multiple guys, they have no expectations beyond those first, second, third, etc. amount of dates. They always keep their options open. And they ALWAYS CONTROL the Dating Narrative, not the Men. Comedian Chris Rock was ABSOLUTELY correct when he spoke his famous QUOTE: "A MAN is ONLY as FAITHFUL as HIS OPTIONS." In the same way, WOMEN are ONLY as FAITHFUL as THEIR OPTIONS too. So it's only fair that we as men remember that too.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
