I think it’s the right approach to arrange lots of dates and have the best possible chance of meeting Mr / Miss Right.
Nevertheless, the situation is not as easy as some people are suggesting in this thread. The more dates you have with someone, the more hurt they will be when you say you can’t see them any more. Simples. It doesn’t matter that you’ve not so much as kissed yet.
(Unless of course everyone is willing to be in an open relationship. Good luck setting that up)
Not even with two women at the same time?
Figs and prunes are also beneficial.
And here’s another vote for the OP to let us know how it all turned out a year or two ago.
Yep. It only gets awkward when they show up at the same time to visit with you in the hospital after your hernia operation.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Tell them you are dating other people. Nothing worse than finding out a guy was hiding that…and also, dont have sex with both in the same day.

Create an imaginary twin brother and have “Claude” date this other woman. If that’s the one you eventually fall for, maintain lie for rest of life.
I’m embarassed people care about my non-existent social life.
Girl 1 liked me, but talking to her made me feel like I was talking to a brick wall. So I broke it off with her.
Girl 2 gave off some red flags, so I withdrew a bit. She found someone else to date and I was fine with that because of the red flags.
The women never found out about each other, but none of them asked if we were exclusive. Don’t ask, don’t tell.
I think it’s “Bunbury”.
We’ve got to live vicariously through someone, and the pickings are kinda slim around here.
ETA: Took a second, Hector, but I got the reference.
Good to hear everyone was okay as the way it was…
For myself,
I couldn’t do it,
meanwhile I kept going out, met nice people. They were all posotive.
I haven’t read this entire thread yet, but I wonder: Is there something wrong with being open and honest and up front? Or can you not handle the idea that either of the women you’re dating might also wish to date other men?
See, when a guy is straight up with me with regard to commitment, right from the get-go, I really appreciate that. If it gets serious with anyone, then it’s time to gently let the others go, but in the meantime, if it’s all just casual, having fun dating, then I don’t see anything wrong with it. What I do see wrong is lying and being deceptive. Perhaps these women are only dating one person at a time because they think the expectation is fidelty, even in a very casual dating situation. I make it clear when I am dating more than one person. If you can’t handle that, great, you’re off the list; I’m plenty busy either way.
The only caution I have is you owe it to both of them and to yourself to be safe if you’re having sex with anyone. Wrap it up, it’s only fair! Do not be an STD disease vector.
