Do you even make an attempt to date others or do you date one person at a time?

 

Here's a spinoff question: If you were "dating" someone, how would you feel/react to seeing them with another person?

Posted

One person at a time. I've found that most women don't like to date men who date multiple women. So I don't.

I would be upset if I saw that.

 

And the answer for me is no.

If I were really into someone and that feeling were mutual, I would not sabatoge it. If I'm with someone who I know can't be trusted and even if I would like her to treat me like number one, I'd fulfill myself galore with as many F buddies I could mangage. Booty call. Woooooo woooooooo!

I tend to date one person at a time; if it doesn't work out then I dump them and date someone else.

 

If I saw the person I was dating with someone else, I'd class it as cheating and would dump his ass on the spot.

If it were someone I was really into and trusted, then yes ...monogamous relationship it would be.

 

However, if it were someone I didn't trust that much, didn't know that much then I would continue to casually date other people as to not put my eggs in one basket...so to speak.

 

Reason being, is when the caring is mutual, seeing others sabotages the relationship. When the caring is one sided, seeing others creates an increased wanting of that person since you find other people to fill your time until the caring becomes mutual (or the relationship stops).

So whats the difference between "dating" and not seeing anyone else...and being in a committed relationship? My original questions were for the early stages of dating, say dating for a month or so.

Early stages of dating...I still want to be the only one and he would be the only one. I take the time and effort to see if someone is worth working towards a LTR and if not, move on and see what the other options are.

I know a lot of women that feel the same way.

However, those same women will go out with multiple guys & call it "playing the field" instead of dating to justify their dating multiple men.

Double standards are great aren't they? :cool:

I couldn't help but notice many of you say you stop dating if you like one girl because "she wouldn't like it".

 

First off: How do you 100% for sure know that she's not dating other men? Because you THINK she likes you? How do you know that? Unless it's been discussed and you both have agreed to be exclusive, even then you still don't know 100% if she's not seeing another guy.

 

Second: Unless I'm locked into a relationship and this girl has told me she only wants to see me, then I will continue to date other women if I have the opportunity. Too many times did I go out with a woman 3, 5, 7 times thinking we had something great going, only to be dropped out of nowhere. This is especially prevelant in online dating where flakiness is commonplace and many options are at women's disposal as they're constantly emailed.

 

I've just learned that if you have the opportunity to meet another woman and go out to have a fun night together, take it. Unless you're in an exclusive agreement, you owe a girl you're just dating absolutely nothing. What's to say she won't drop you at any time? Then you look back and you turned down other girls for dates? That's ridiculous. If she's worried about losing you and doesn't want you to go out with other girls, she'll lock you in as her boyfriend. Otherwise she's just being selfish and unfair.

Do you drink a beer you really like, and then open a different can/bottle of a different variety while drinking the perfectly good one at the same time? ;)

I only do one at a time. If I dated multples I would probably end up liking both equally then I would have to decide which one and that would suck beause I would feel like I led the other one on.
