Search Results: dating two people at once

DISCLAIMER:

My definition of the friendzone is this: an incongruent attraction between two people. The person who is less interested (or not interested at all) likes the company, attention and benefits. However they don’t speak up about where they stand but instead lead the person on for their own benefit. Bottom line is the person with lesser interest knows they have an emotional angle to get more out of the interested person than other people (and they milk it). It’s not a true friendship.

But if someone speaks up about where they stand (early) then that isn’t the “friendzone” to me. That’s actually showing respect.

However I am guilty of “friendzoning” women when I was much younger. I didn’t take advantage of the situation but I didn’t communicate either. But when it was done to me (more than once) not only did the girl not communicate but she completely took advantage of everything men do for women when it comes to dating (spending money, watching over her, favors, attention, etc).

I wised up to that bullshit a long time ago. However I wonder how this feels when it’s been done to a woman.

Before you vote, I think it’s better that you talk to multiple people at once because you can easily move on from girls that you have less in common with. For example, if you only talk to one girl, you would be kind of forced to settle and accept the differences you otherwise would not. If you talk to two girls at once, you can compare and see who is a better fit for yourself. Now, throw in multiple people at once and you get to choose the best partner possible for yourself. This is just smart in my opinion. Obviously, I only mean “talking” or “dating” and not anything serious that may be considered cheating.
