and my opinion on her.

If I'm not trying to be in a serious thing initially, I go with the flow and decide when she voices that level of interest. I have no problem with the loss if I'm not ready and she moves on. If I've grown to feel it's something I'm ready to explore, I'll rock with it from there.

If I'm actively on it...meaning, I'm evaluating potentials, if I find what I deem someone worth the investment, I make it known swiftly. And I'm more likely to walk if she takes too long deciding if she's down (for me in the past, that usually wasn't a good sign).

If I was open to something serious but didn't see her as the long term potential type and we're casual, I never bring it up and if she ever does, I reminder her that it started casual and I'm comfortable with that. She can choose her course of action after that info.
