signofthegoat Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 If there's no sex involved, is this "playing the field" type strategy considered being "unfaithful"?
HokeyReligions Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Not if you haven't made an exclusive agreement with any of them. I dated more than one guy at a time, but I dropped the others when I made a commitment to date one exclusively. The guys dated other girls too and I was dropped when they would make a commitment to one other person.
shachic Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 No, I don't think its being unfaithful - you are just evaluating different guys out there that you think may be your type. I don't know how old you are, but Im 29, and would like to get married sometime in the next few years. Although I'm in no rush to get married, I also don't want to spent a LOT of time on just one guy, and then realize it isn't going to work out. I try to date 1-3 guys (ok..any more than 3 would be very tough on my schedule!!) and I keep it casual for a few weeks, and just try to get to know them better. The dates may consist of coffee, movies...dinner..or some activity (rollerblading, etc). There may be some kissing, but nothing hot and heavy. Usually I will tell the guys that i am dating other people too, so that they know (but no more details than that!!). When I feel that I've had enough time to evaluate which one of those guys is most compatible with me....I will let the other guys know. Its kinda of hard, I don't enjoy having tha tconversation. But...I feel that I'm being honest, and usually it goes pretty well. If you are younger and have plenty of time to spend with one guy at a time...then go ahead and do that. But..if you are the type of person who gets attached really easier, yet are looking for that one lasting relationship - I would try playing the field. This helps keeping relationships at bay (it helps with the whole attachment thing - if you are spending your time with more than 1 guy at a time, its hard to get too attached to an y one of them, until you get to know them more). Its not unfaithful, as long as you are honest with yourself and with them. But again, do not talk about one guy to another guy. Respect everyone's needs, and don't divulge any more information than is necessary. Hope this helps..!
agnf666 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 If you are not Exclusively dating anyone then dating more then one guy at once is fine. It's not cheating, It's more or less casual dating I think.
doubleint Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 No, your not being unfaithful at all. This is what dating is all about, just have fun. But if you do make a commitment, make sure you drop all your other dates.
