How to tell if it’s a casual affair or serious relationship...

It’s pretty easy for us to meet people who are into us. The trick is, are we into them? We are one of the pickier signs, mostly because we can enjoy doing things solo and won’t settle. So, how to tell if it’s just a fling or a serious bond? I’ve found some clear-cut giveaways...

Fling: You prefer to spend time one-on-one, and if that’s in private (like one of your homes or a secluded setting like a hike away from civilization), even better.
Real thing: You like to hang with mutual friends, attend social gatherings and events, and have even met each other’s family members.

Fling: You don’t talk about your feelings (or lack thereof) and don’t plan things together in advance.
Real thing: You can open up about your emotions and make future plans.

Fling: One of you does most of the talking, and sometimes it’s hard to keep conversation flowing. Silences are very awkward.
Real thing: You can talk for hours about anything and everything, or enjoy each other’s company in silence.
