Dating Multiple Persons At The Same Time..Could you do this?

Let's keep it real people...Do you think it is ok to date multiple persons at the same time??? Could this be a way to search out the right one???

By dating, I mean going out for meals, to the movies and getting to know the person better, etc...

 

If i'm dating you or getting to know you better or spending any parts of quality time with you, YOU are my focus and therefore, henceforth and furthermore... I dont have time to date anyone else BUT you.

Plus, isn't it confusing? You're on the phone all night getting to know each other and dater #2 is clicking in on call waiting... you're gonna have to choose. Dater #1 wants to take you out on Friday night and dater #2 calls and says he's got special plans for you on Friday too... You're gonna have to choose.

I would say spare yourself the headache and focus on one at a time.

 

i am not a fan of dating. i prefer, if i meet someone, to become friends (if that) and then if something is to come of it then it just will naturally. but almost always....i know pretty much right away if i have an interest in someone....it happens VERY rarely that i take an interest in someone though....and i guess luckily all the guys that ive had real feelings for have returned them and it ended up into a prolonged relationship. ive done the dating thing, and never was too comfortable with it~ i dunno, it seems always rather akward to me....i just dont like it at all.

 

I dont know very much about anything but I dont think I could do that. Plus what would the two people think?

 

I guess I see it as...just hanging out...not dating. I won't sleep with different men at the same time, but I will hang out with multiple men. I don't see anything wrong with it, really.

 

good gods no.....one at a time can be complicated enough......

 

hahaha..so true..

 

no I couldn't but apparently my boyfriend thinks it's hillarious that his brother is doing this right now and there's a freaking child involved who might move across the country just to see his moms heart get broken. I wonder if my bf would think it was hillarious if I got a guy on the side. lets see how fucking funny it is to him if he's the one getting hurt. That would never happen because I could never be seriously involved with one person and date another but I find it disgusting that he thinks this sort of behavior is funny. But of course I'm fucking irrational so what the hell do I know?

 

^^ I sense some harshness...

I could be wrong...

*shrugs*

 

Can't even handle one.

Leave me alone to my bike and computer.

 

I don't think would fair to the person who I'm supposed to care for to expect him to be okay with that, and it wouldn't be fair to me for him to expect me to be okay with something like that.

 

I was told back when I was dating, that dating me was like dating several women at once....

I've "seen" more than one guy at once. By "seeing" I mean casual dating, movies and the like, seeing if there is anything there worth dating. Once I knew I liked someone I would quit seeing the others.

 

Been there, done that. As long as it's handled with honesty and openess from the start it can work out ok. The way your date handles it can also tell you a lot about them.

 

My use of language may be out of date, but when I was "dating" it meant that people went out. It was not exclusive. You could date one person one day and go out with another the next. "Dating" was one on one socializing, not nessesarily exclusive. "Going steady" was exclusive.

 

..

 

I'm never interested in enough girls at any one time for it to enter into the equation, usually I've got my sights set on just the one

 

That's pretty much how I feel about it too.

 

frustration yes but it's settled. It's hard to get along being so different yet I know we're right for each other. I love him too much to be without him and get to see him in four days

 

I suppose it's fine so far as everyone involved knows it's not exclusive.. Myself, I wouldn't, and couldn't, do such.
