I'd say try and swing the casual angle.. like if you ain't really ready to get serious with a girl you've only just really met. Keep it casual and then see how shit goes, and if it turns out that you do really like her and want it to be more serious then go for it.

Only thing is with a casual relationship, you gotta be ready to see her with another dude maybe. That generally is the moment when you find out how much you like the girl.. if seeing her with another dude don't bother you then there maybe isn't nothing real there.. but if it makes you wanna go over and piledrive his face into the concrete then you know its real man..
