I was wondering, what's the point of pursuing a relationship with a person you have no intention of staying with? I hear people describe others as the type you date, but not marry. What's the point of dating them if you never plan on pursuing a greater relationship with them. I don't mean for the people who don't like marriage, but the people who don't plan on staying together with that person. Is it just to waste time? I feel like that time could be spent on better things.

Then again, I'm more of a romantic than a bachelor, so I wouldn't see the point in a shallow relationship anyway, bt I am having a hard time understanding this concept. Anybody care to offer an opinion.
