I've seen a lot of guys in my time fall into relationships with women they never intended to. Avoid this.
My personal philosophy is I never see a girl regularly that I wouldn't mind having in my life long term... like, long long term. Because you have no idea what's going to happen in the future.
If a guy's seeing a girl, and suddenly he gets really sick, or falls on very hard times... chances are he's now probably stuck with this girl. If he's seeing several girls this alleviates it somewhat, though few men I know who are seeing several girls are seeing even one that they REALLY like.
Seeing a girl over a long period of time also tends to make guys complacent... UNLESS they travel a lot. Eventually if a guy stays in one place, he stops going out and just relies on his cell phone's speed dial to get that girl over to his place. Or, she just starts coming over on her own, unannounced. And then, once he's no longer going out, and THIS girl's coming OVER... scarcity mentality begins to set in. Suddenly, this girl who wasn't all that great before is starting to look like someone he can't risk losing. And all because you let yourself get complacent.
Whatever your relationship patterns, make sure you're aware of these hazards, and DON'T let yourself get sucked into a relationship that isn't your ideal. There are tons of women out there, and you will find some pretty amazing ones that have damn near everything you want if you keep looking... but you have to keep looking, that's the thing.
