What is the highest number of people you dated at one time?

Never happened to me. I always date one at a time. I don't know if you can call that dating if I'm only seeing one guy at a time. Usually, I'm either with a guy or just friends/acquaintances with a guy.

7 at once, or 8, not sure. No commitment. No kissing. No sex.
Lasted a couple of months.
I didn't end up with any of them. lol
Just dated.
I got the flowers, chocolates, gifts, romantic dinners/lunches/breakfasts.
None of them were my type though. I'm picky, I guess.
They all ended in a really weird way.

I once dated 4 guys at once. But there was one specific guy that over shined the rest of the guys. He is now my current boyfriend.

How did I end the other 3 dates? Well, when I'm first dating a guy or any guy, I always like to let them know from the very beginning that I am currently dating other people. And most guys understand that, I think it's the correct thing to do. So, I was very honest with them and told them that I found someone who pique's my interest, and I wished them good luck on their next date. They have all been very respectful about it, because I was very honest with them.

i actually had a couple at a time. but mostly they were all my friends and not potential boyfriends (I have more guy friends than girl friends)
i was talking to one of the boys for 2months, I believe that was the longest.
I ended up being committed to the guy that waited for 2 months.
And it all ended when I got a bf.
Are you in this particular situation?

well,

I find most people have different definitions of dating.

By my definition of it (dating means spending time with opposite sex with potential for something a little more serious, physical contact/kissing ok, no sexual activity)

3 at most
