NO SUCH THING under 'black letter' [conventional and historical] contract law. Contracts require SPECIFICS -- something to be purchased at a specified price, for instance, and an agreement to sell that something at the specified price so agreed. There is no such idea as "intention" to make a contract being contractually binding in and of itself, for many reasons. It is just to amorphous [confusing, shapeless] to say "we agree to make a future agreement" -- the future is too unpredictable to make this a contract -- which must be in the 'here and now' to be valid. Same as in Talmudic [Jewish] law and Roman Dynastic law.
So the word 'Intention' to create being binging in itself is of the table -- you don't specify the relationship but it could make a difference. Just going to a lawyer, asking a question and leaving without paying can obligate that lawyer -- just answering a question can establish an attorney-client relationship and that lawyer could be liable for legal malpractice, for instance, even though he had no intention of representing the question seeker. Of course, if someone says "I Do" when asked to marry that does not establish a legal relationship in and of itself -- merely an intention expressed to actually get married later -- and breaking such promise is NOT actionable under United States law [other considerations in Jewish law though]. You would have to specify more the nature of the relationship intended [at least by one party!] for a more exacting answer.

What is the importance of intention to create legal relations?
Supported by consideration is not enough to create a legally binding contract, the parties must also have an intention to create legal relations. Often, the intention to create legal relations is expressly stated by the contracting parties. In other situations, the law will readily imply the intention, because of the nature of the commercial dealings between the parties. The presence of consideration is often indicative of the intention to create legal relations, though there are situations where the presumption of the intention can be rebutted, thus determining that there is no contract and no legal liability. In many domestic agreements, for example those made between husbands and wives and parents and children, there is no intention to create legal relations and no intention that the agreement should be subject to litigation.

Courts typically use the "objective test" to determine if the parties had the intention to create legal relations.

If the context suggests that both parties intended to enter into a legally binding contract, the courts will recognize that intention. Common examples include distinguishing between social or domestic agreements, which generally lack such intention, and commercial agreements, which usually presuppose a legal commitment.
