ClueChick: real clues from a real chick

Sapiophile asks, "Does exchanging keys and reserving a drawer in one another's domiciles always mean it isn't casual anymore?"

Yes.

I'm tempted to leave it at that, but that's not much of a post, now, is it?

Casual relationships can take any number of forms, some of them more regular than others. In fact, though none of my casual relationships have involved trading more than phone numbers and saliva, I can imagine an ongoing-but-casual thing that would result in trading keys. In fact, that could facilitate the playing out of all kinds of fantasies, but that's another post.

But the point at which you're making room for each others' stuff in your homes, it's no longer casual. Sorry.
