I asked a question earlier that prompted discussions about “multi-dating”.

A couple of guys said that they would not consider a woman if they found out she was seeing or talking to other guys when they make their first date plans. And that she should be committed to getting to know ONLY him for the span of whatever their relationship is.

One mentioned that if she’s juggling dates early on she’s likely to cheat later.

Personally I find this very odd. For a number of reasons:

  1. Im not asking, prior to one date if he’s seeing anybody else.
  2. It seems weirdly jealous to be upset at a person you never met for also having dinner with someone else.
  3. Seems like a fast way to make dating more frustrating.
  4. It makes it easier for someone to be tempted to love-bomb or come on too strong.

You wouldn’t ask a girl to be your girlfriend after one date. Why would anyone expect commitment even prior to the first date?

I think it’s different when sex is involved. But even that’s a personal decision.

Ladies, gents, what do you think?
