> I’m not sure exactly what happened, but in the US, having a serious (aka “going steady”) romantic relationship with two people, commonly called “two-timing”, is a **big** no-no. If an American girl catches you two-timing her, she _will_ dump you or at the least be very upset and will demand that you either commit to her exclusively or else break up with her. Expect a lot of tears. Exceptions to this rule are rare. Being in a situation where you love two people is dangerous. If an American that you are dating finds out that you also love someone else, even if you are not actually dating that other person, that can be seriously problematic. Americans generally expect exclusivity in a relationship once the relationship extends beyond casual dating.

No, when first time she came to india. she thought me and that indian girl is dating. but then soon she realized that we are just good friends. after that when i came here she always use to ask me about her. she knows that indian girl likes me. But she likes me as a friend, we worked together for three years. she was 4 years senior to me. she just find out through my mails or chats, but it was just a misunderstanding from her side. It just she had that impulse abut her.
