This is a very subjective question as I don't think one answer is practically better than the other. It just depends on what you like. I wouldn't mind casually dating and I wouldn't mind being exclusive, but the point where I differ between the option I would pick is in the openness. I always go in open. I feel like if I do, the other person can get a better feel for my personality and would in turn, also respond openly and view me as an honest and real person, not someone who needs to hide away feelings or whatever else. The first option doesn't sound bad since it ends with the person opening up, anyway, but not my personal choice.

- Casually dating around and opening up slowly?

Or

- Observing, then dating exclusively and starting out completely open until given reasons not to be?

Please state your Moon, Venus, and Mars, as well as any other placements or aspects you believe are pertinent.



Both. Depends on the company.
Actually, observation occurs during both.
Said observation unnerves some (usually have something they're hiding), and others appreciate it and drop their walls.

Very true and very good points. I put "better" in quotes cause I had a similar thought; I almost included a disclaimer, but instead chose to be lazy. 😢

I've tried the casual dating thing and I hated it. It seemed so superficial. Obviously they'd put their best foot forward.

I'd rather observe people first. Then I'd already know if I like the person or not so this makes it easy for me to see where it leads. If I love the person, then it becomes exclusive.

Moon: Aries
Venus: Libra
Mars: Sagittarius



This is how I feel too.
Moon: Leo
Venus: Sag
Mars: Scorp

I like to date exclusive..however I will date casually to keep distracted and busy at times... but I prefer one dating partner..however that can get pretty intense for me..so I am learning how to not put all my eggs in one basket..Im pretty busy anyway so dating doesn't really happen very much for me. I think its better for me to date and occupy myself with different people..however I am soo picky..its hard for me to find people to date that actually fulfill my needs mentally as well as other aspects..the damn struggle

Better? I don't know. I just know what works for me. A blend of the two:

Casually dating, observing and opening up slowly.

I'm not too into the casual thing myself. Something about not seeing someone again bothers me greatly. It's like what if they're actually great. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me, but on the flip side I can see why racy fling with no strings attached seems fun. In the long run I prefer serious dating and getting to know someone. x
