If anything, I’m probably guilty of n3 only because I’m not one of those people that feel comfortable casually (and platonically) dating more than one person at a time.


How do you date platonically? Wouldn't that be more of a friendship?

No, there's a difference. If you're dating someone, it's with the view that the relationship will develop into something more meaningful however a friend is just a friend.

I don't date the few male friends that I have, we just hang out.

I asked because platonically would be without sex, which can be understandable in the beginning. But without romance, too. So how do you date platonically?

I meant in the beginning. That's why I would need to know where I stood i.e. if I'm dating someone with the view to becoming intimate or just hanging out.

If I'm dating someone platonically, it doesn't mean that I'm that I'm devoid of any feelings towards them, it just means that I'm not going to act on those feelings.

Hmm, interesting. I've never heard of platonic dating. If I'm dating someone, there's interest from the beginning. I date them to get to know them and see if that interest develops into more, but platonic doesn't fit into that situation.

To each their own, though. :smile:

That was my original point as to why I don't date multiple people.

If I'm interested in someone, that where my focus is...getting to know that person better.

One confusion at a time I say. That would hurt my head beyond anything.

....that drive a man crazy:

1. Game-playing/manufacturing drama.

(I'm tired of dudes saying its always us. When you bring your exes into the picture I'd say that treads the line to drama. Just one example.)

2. Expecting the man to pay for everything.

(I always offer if I can, especially if its past the first few dates)

3. “Wanting to know ‘where the relationship is going’ before he’s ready to say, or before he knows himself”

(Most men haven't a clue what they want anyway. They'll never admit it unless we finally make a decision.)

4. Being controlling.

(Men are super controlling when they never call.)

5. Not getting enough “guy time.”

(Most ladies here can put up with mind-numbing sports activities.)

What are your thoughts?



Kind of a generalization...but, yeah. These things annoy most guys. But I think the winner is...

"Baaabe?" "What are you thinking about?"

Yeah, I can see how the confusion came about now..what I meant to say is that I need to know the status of our relationship i.e. casually dating exclusively or in a relationship.

If he didn’t want to be exclusive and I enjoyed his company, then I would continue to see him but it would be what I would call platonic dating.
