Do you date exclusively or more than one person at a time?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

I think it's okay to date multiple people at once, as long as you're open and honest about it with others. But once you become physically intimate with any of the people you're dating (I think a kiss is that line), then you should stop seeing others.

I’ve always dated one at a time. I don’t think I could handle that juggling act.

ohsheeT · Answer

I'm just about ready to start dating again
And when I'm dating it's only going to be 1 person at a time that's all I need to date i want to be focused. I want to be into it to find out how far can it go or if it's gonna go far? Or you have to be focused on to find out everything about her

Finchie40 · Answer

Depends , lately I have been open to dating More than one person , mainly because I am not rushing anything and I want to really get to know her before I even consider a committed relationship,

Rei13 · Answer

I never understood why people dated more than one person at a time. I mean so long as everyone is on the same page it’s fine but that just seems like a recipe for disaster to me

AviatorTom · Answer

Back when I dated, I usually dated exclusively, one woman at a time, though I occasionally dated more than one if the relationship wasn't really going anywhere.

Zack-Bann · Answer

God the level of creepy in the replies women are getting on this one is unusually high

I date semi-exclusively.
Meaning I don’t jump into dating someone new with the express purpose of building a strong monogamous relationship
But I also don’t mix my paintbrushes and expect my partner to do the same

So we date exclusively for a while and then decide if we go our separate ways “no harm no foul” or we stick around and try to build something.

Sometimes that means a one night stand
Sometimes that means spending a week together
Sometimes a month

And as of now I’ve been lucky enough to last longer on very few occasions

But I clearly haven’t met the one who will stick around and keep me around for a long duration

Part of me envies those who have
But then these people envy me for my freedom
So who knows what’s the better route

nolabels · Answer

I've only ever dated one person at a time.
That was many years ago, being busy with a job.
Dating one woman took all of my spare time.

My wife is now in the late stages of a terminal illness.

I do think about whether or not I'll date when the time comes.
I'll now have the time to date more than one person, and I likely would if multiple opportunities present themselves.
There are so many different types of people in the world.
It'd be nice to experience how I feel about spending time with different women.

It's interesting to me that I'd even consider dating again.

I was a happily confirmed bachelor (or so I thought) when my now-wife and I first met, with her pursuing me relentlessly until I caved to her advances.

Now, the thought of being alone is not quite so appealing to me as it once was.

I'd like to make my life happen, instead of continuing to just let life happen to me.

aaron13547 · Answer

I love everyone, I'm friends with everyone, however only one person can hold my heart at a time. I can be kind of flirty because the way I share love and just want to give happiness and a hug to everyone. However when I date a women she somehow just knows she is the most important. I only date one person at a time, but it looks different to a stranger watching me live. They have told me so lol.

OneViewpoint · Answer

One at a time. I don't need/want the drama of juggling multiple women. I just need a connection with one. However, that one connection remains elusive. I have some pretty high standards. So my default behavior is zero women at a time if I can't find the mind/body/spirit connection I'm looking for. I turn down and disappoint a lot of women, LOL.

Zionne · Answer

I usually prefer dating one person at a time, it helps build a deeper connection and keeps things clear. But I get why others explore multiple options while figuring out compatibility. It really depends on what stage of dating you’re in and what you’re looking for.

bobalife · Answer

Depends if the guy wants/shows exclusivity and our connection/intention

AvaRay · Answer

Exclusively..

Cause my energy isn’t a sample, it’s a privilege..

If I choose someone, it’s with intention, not for convenience..

I don’t juggle options, I build connections that deep, rare, n real..

Quality women don’t compete for attention,
they command it effortlessly..

WhitneySnow · Answer

Exclusively, but there’s nothing wrong with dating more than one person at a time if you’re not serious about them yet and you tell them

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

I would go on a couple first dates a week until I liked someone enough to a second date. Exclusive if I wanted a third date

Miristheiss · Answer

Usually I dated one at a time. Maybe a couple right at the start but I did not see more than one person for very long until I settled on one.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Back in the day, I did several times. Everyone should date as many and as often as possible if they are serious about finding the right partner.

BadApple69 · Answer

I have only dated one girl at a time, period!

One time I wasn’t dating but a bunch of weirdness happened where I had sex with 3 different woman in 2 days. To be honest I never felt so dirty! Hated it and won’t do that ever again.

beenherebefore · Answer

I don't date anymore as I'm in a long-term relationship but when I was dating I always used to date one person at a time.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I've only dated one man. By dating do you also mean sleeping with multiple men at the same time?

FirePhoenixZ · Answer

Exclusively.  I value my time, energy, and heart too much to dilute it across distractions. Whoever I invest in gets all of me, clarity, respect, and intention come first.

Anonymous · Answer

I actually never had a date, but if I had the chance, I would definitely date one person at a time.

msc545 · Answer

All women date more than one person at a time. The problem is, they date one person and say it's exclusive, and then date 15 more guys and just cheat.
