On Seinfeld, the main cast dated people without the intention of a long-term relationship. It was a running gag on the show.
Was this the first sitcom to show this? If so, it makes it an important show in terms of reflecting changes in societal mores.
Sam Malone on Cheers preceded Seinfeld. Laverne was always dating a new guy. Three's Company. Mary Richards never seemed to date the same guy more than once.

Good point about Sam Malone on Cheers.
I've never seen an episode of Three's Company. The show seems too silly for me or something. It's just a misunderstanding.

It might be a different setting, but as I recall, MASH (1972-1983) also quite a bit of casual 'dating' seemingly without any intention of long-term/permanent relationships. Of course it depicted a military conflict setting so that temporary relationships might be seen as more expected if not accepted.

Not hardly, Three's Company was the horniest most sex crazed show of the 1970s.

The Fonze was making out with a different woman every episode.

I think it may have been the first primetime sitcom where the characters talked openly about casual sex. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisk, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.

I think it may have been the first primetime sitcom where the characters talked openly about casual sex. And "the move," only to be done in New Jersey. I don't recall oral sex being so sort-of openly discussed. I thought that episode was funnier than the "Master of my domain" one.

i would say no. three's company often had a woman or two whom either jack or larry would refer to as 'not miss right, just miss right now'.

three's company really broke a lot of molds back in the day.

I didn’t see much of Three’s but I remember one Seinfeld where the guys are talking about who should have sex with Elaine...I don’t think Jack and Mr Roper discussing who should fuck Chrissy would have been in an 80s sitcom. And then there's MASH.
