A woman with an intention to get into a committed relationship, who stays in a casual relationship as a sidepiece or side chick for over a year, is misguided.
Each day, month or year she stays in this casual relationship after the first year, is a day, month or year too long.
Initially, she entered a casual relationship with him without that much of an intent to be exclusive or have a long-term relationship.
When you are in your 20s as a man or woman, there is a general mentality that you are impervious to aging.
To that end, if you are a player, you play the field.
For the most part, men and women don’t date all that seriously in their 20s, especially in their early to mid 20s.
Being young, there is a feeling that there is no hurry to settle down and be with someone with the intent of being with them for the rest of your life.
