I don't believe in it. If I go out on a date with someone and I want a second date, I do not date anybody else and see where it goes. If at some point it goes nowhere, then and only then do I ask someone else out.
1 person at a time and no confusion about whether or not I am interested in them and only them. It has worked well for me.
I agree and I'm the same... How can you really her to know someone well, build that bond if you juggling multiple people at the same time... And I wouldn't be okay with someone not having time for me because they're spending time with other women. That you me would show they're not that interested in me because if they were, they'd be spending that time with me, not another woman or women
So true. We think alike. There is a big difference in thought toward dating process based on age. The younger people are ok with juggling dates while the wiser more mature people stick to one person at a time. Notice I didn't say older.
š¤£ it's okay, I know I'm getting old... 4 months shy of 50š±š¤Æ lolol
Your still a lot younger than me.
My bones aren't lolol
I believe it is not good to be with multiple people. It is wrong morally.
If you are with multiple people, then where is your commitment?
People are not like jobs, such that you can have no commitments and such.
Right! Agree šÆ
Absolutely! Unless and until we have decided to make this casual dating thing a more serious relationship, I am free to date whoever and however many other people as I want! While I donāt subscribe to the Beyoncé theory of āif you want it then you better put a ring on itā I do believe that one date does not make you my husband! I have NO obligation to you, and I will date whomever I please!
I have only had one real problem with this, when I ran into a guy I dated on Friday night, on Saturday night while on a date with someone else. He began screaming at me that I was a whore, a slut, and (get this) that I was ācheating on himā! The balls of that guyā¦ remember, ONE DATE! Anyway my current date offered politely to kick his ass (which did NOT impress me) and a third guy I didnāt even know escorted the guy out of the club. Shame I never saw THAT guy again. But I definitely ended the date with Mr. Kickass! Thank GOD I always drive myself to first dates!
I don't date more than one person at one time. If I go on a date with one person and we want a second date I won't even consider a date with someone else. Likewise if I agree on a date with someone, I won't date anyone before the date with that person.
Agree! Same here
It's like if I go on a date I'm committed.
At least till you know if there's chemistry/connection
If i know she likes me from the way she talks to me, then i don't even want to talk to other girls, just her.
If we are just talking, and she doesn't really show that she likes me, then i'll talk to other girls as well.
Dating is one girl at a time for me.
I agree, dating is one guy at a time for me, and wouldn't date someone dating others
For me? Iād appreciate the honesty from someone if they were upfront from the get, but I wouldnāt take them very seriously. Iāve tried dating multiple people before, while being upfront about it and it never did pan out very well. If Iām intimate with someone tho and I like them, Iām not really motivated to see other people. If I was dating someone and I met someone else I was more compatible with, Iād probably just kinda trail off from the person I wasnāt quite as in to.
How is talking equated to dating? Once the talk remains platonic.
But anyway, IF two people want a serious relationship, they should only date the person at the time. You don't want to be losing too much energy on others.
It is however healthy for the two to have friendships outside and not spend every waking moment together... missing each other a bit can make the heart grows fonder and avoid co-dependency.
Dating as many as you want is fine, but soon as a serious relationship starts with someone, the others need to stop.
Although I will admit these days, it seems like people have serious relationships with multiple people at once.
I personally don't believe in dating more than one person at a time nor would I have interest in dating someone who was dating other women...
I do more of what I call casual dating, when I say this. Those I'm dating are just getting to know each other, I'm not making out or even kissing. If someone starts to look better, I go out with them more and tone the others down and if he asks me to be his girlfriend and I accept, the others all end.
I've had weeks before where I had a different date each night of the week, believe me that doesn't last long. Many I can eliminate after the first date, but I've never had an issue getting dates or boyfriend, in fact I often would choose to be single for a time to enjoy single life.
I'm glad I'm out of the dating game now though.
If your single then it's ok to keep your options open. If your dating and it's getting serious like toward a relationship then no because it's cheating.
I just think it's better to date one person at a time
Yes that is true.
I don't believe this is okay. I feel, and always have, that dating should be monogamous UNLESS its discussed and agreed to BEFORE agreeing to the date itself. If you want to date multiple people at once, at least make sure everyone involved knows what's up. Otherwise, it's a nasty surprise. I've been on the wrong end of this several times, and it just ruins the whole relationship.
I agree.. I would do it and wouldn't date someone who would
If it works out for others dating other I seen some peeps cool with that I can only be with one queen at a time that's what makes me happy but everyone going to do whatever they think is right to them I don't judge that what makes the world go round to them I guess :)!
When I was in college I would go on dates with a few different people and looking back I really didnāt like it and it wasnāt good for me. I did it because that what everyone else seemed to be doing so I thought thatās what I should do too. If hypothetically I ever became single again I wouldnāt go back to dating like that.
It's perfectly okay to date multiple people at the same time, so long as there's no agreement with any of them that their dating is exclusive.
I'm personally a one at a time person
@Brainsbeforebeauty So am I. One woman is more than enough for me. For those who can handle more than one woman at a time, I was just voicing an opinion that can be okay.
See to me it's not about exclusivity...
If someone's dating 3 people at once, and then chooses one, what about the other two that might have caught feelings for that person, or feel like they were used as an option till someone better came along. Say we made a date for Friday, wouldn't it be better to wait till after our date, to determine if you'd rather make a date with someone else? If I had a date with someone Friday who also made a date with someone for the following night, it's like they didn't even give it a chance from the get go..
I just feel like people are seeing/treating people more like "options" than people with feelings that could get hurt
If you're on dating apps, or we just met IRL, I'd assume you're doing just that anyway unless you tell me otherwise (this is why I tell people to make it clear you want to go exclusive once you know you want to do that).
I think its wrong, if you're not that interested in a person then why still talk to them and talk to others. Makes no sense to me
Right! Agree šÆ
As long as no commitments of monogamy have been made; dating multiple people is fine by me in principle.
I'm sure it's a bad idea in other ways though.
Yeah, me personally I believe in dating one person at a time, and wouldn't want to date someone going out with other women...
I hear that... I'm just tired of dating in general. I've just decided to take a break and I'm in a much better place for it mentally.
That's good. I haven't really dated since my husband passed away 8 1/2 years ago... I went on a few dates a few years after, but just seemed to be people looking for immediate sex, hook ups and that's not my idea of dating/relationships either... And text only as main form of communication, I'm not down with that either...
Yeah. I'm not really feelin' that. I guess I'm hoping to wait until I find someone/something that makes the thought of dating not absolutely exhausting.
Ha good luck with that. People these days are very exhausting and seem to thrive on creating dramaš
Lol I'm holding out hope.
I'm crossing my fingers for youš¤ lol
Ok I'm the type of girl one man type woman , I mean I was with three guys last summer. Jumping from one place to another back and forth and I tell you what it is so hard to juggle more then one. Be honest don't fuck aro uh nd
Oh I've always been one person at a time... I wouldn't date multiple people at once nor would I date someone who was going out with other women at the same time
As long as everyone knows what's going on, sure. If either party thinks, or assumes it's exclusive even in just the dating stage, then it needs to be clarified. Some people only want to date someone who sees only them, even if it's casual, while others don't care until it becomes a mutually agreed upon exclusive thing.
I mean it's very rare that I can get more than one person at anytime to put up with my random bollocks conversation so I've never really thought about it lol
Lololol I'm sure that's not trueš¤
If you havenāt had a discussion about being exclusive, then I donāt see any issue with it. But yes, it should be discussed with anyone who someone wants to date.
The more people you date at the same time, the less connection you can build with one person... I personally wouldn't want to date someone juggling me and others, times I might want to spend with them, they're off with another female, that's not my idea of dating.. These days dating has become comparison shoppingš¤·š¼āāļø
@Brainsbeforebeauty I donāt think I could do that either. However, I donāt think itās a bad thing for the multitaskers out there.
