I'm curious as to how you were able to get that idea from what I wrote. I'm making no assumptions _about_ intent. I'm saying whether it's a "red flag" depends _on_ intent (which is then assumed to be known, at least internally by said person(s)). I'm making no correlation between having causal sex and the attempt to establish a long-term relationship, I don't know how I could more explicitly define those as two different goals. Maybe if I write it in a more simplistic (albeit, less precise) way: * Many relationships may likely a red flag in a person who's seeking long-term relationships (ie, they're trying and failing very much, they're probably not a very good partner, or has very good judgement). * Many relationships are not a red flag in a person who's not seeking long-term relationships (they're doing their thing, and all is good, as long as you're aligned with that).
