Why would someone have an active dating app profile if they are dating someone?

Todays dating scene. Never take yourself off the market unless you’re in a serious relationship.

Even if they aren't serious about dating someone?

For options. Just in case things go south quick and not in a good way.

@FictionalCharacter in my mind we’re dating, we aren’t exclusive. Maybe it’s the second date. Maybe the first one was so so let’s try one more date. To me I feel as though yourself already calling yourself his girlfriend. To me we’re still trying to establish what is going on.

Anon, personally I wouldn't date a guy like that, if I found that out somehow. It's a turn off. Also, it gives me anxiety and insecurity. It's like we're in the TV show the Bachelor and are all competing with for the same guy

@SoftCliff so you’re saying you’ve already decided that you’re his girlfriend even though it’s been a couple dates?

[SoftCliff]

Anon, of course not, but would you waste your time or resources on something that is unlikely to play out? If a guy is dating three more girls other than you, then you only have about 25% chance to be chosen.
Like I said, I think it's a horrible approach to dating because it makes it a competition between all the people one person is dating and that's not what dating should be.

@SoftCliff but that’s how you think as a girl. Men don’t think the same way

Options? Insincerity? Douchebag?
