I never got the whole dating thing understood.

Maybe I'm just not good at multi-tasking...but I can only deal with 1 man at a time.

im not sure. does i'm dating mean going out with several guys or if i say "i'm dating this one guy" does that mean we are in fact just dating and i & he can go out with other people?

lol, my point exactly! Thank God I'm not the only confused by this

I'm a one guy gal... never understood the point of juggling... by the first date, I know if I want to continue to see them. If there's doubt after date #1- there is no date #2...

but that's just me.

that's exactly what it means.. it means.. i can date you and others and you can't say anything about it because.. i told you up front what i was doing...

read between the line ladies.. read between the lines

i know cause this one guy that i'm dating i ask him can we see other people and he's like "i'm not" which no way in hell i believe him. but im dating others anyway. we aint commited. when you get if figured out, please let me know.

hell i'm a guy and i don't understand it

dating, what's that? I seem to get the "one date" guys. I've tried it both ways - holding back if I like the guy, and the opposite. the results are the same, one date only. So, I can't help you on the more than one date idea. As for me, I continue to meet new guys and go out with them even if I like someone, unless and until the guy tells me he wants to be exclusive. I figure life is short and why pass up someone great because you're just getting to know someone that may not be right for you or may not want anything from you.

real simple.. no commitments

female version of 'I'm dating'...

I have exclusive rights over you...do not think to speak to anyone of any gender anywhere any time.

I own your arse and all rights reserved.


male version of 'I'm dating'...

I met this cool chick for a burger and a coffee and we talked a bit and she's kind of cool.

I have this bbq thing with my cousin's best friend on sunday by the lake, should be good, no football on that day..

Hey, that cute little piece at the bank wasn't wearing a ring, wonde if she would like to go to the game on Saturday.

you ladies are the best!!!! im so glad we have eachother!!!

If I said I was dating, it would mean that I am trying to commit to a relationship or one is possibly in progress. That is what I would mean if I told you that. Ofcourse I wouldn't date you if I was dating somebody else.

Wow...it just seems sooo emotionally draining though..to me anyways--to casually date. Maybe I take things too seriously..

Jess, you hit the nail on the head with that one in my situation I think..

no, Berryboo, you're just wired different, that's all :) It's cool :) For me and my girlfriends, we share the same philosophy - unless the guy's here, present and accounted for, and showing by words and actions he's all ours and wants the same in return, we keep meeting other guys.

maybe.. its gets easier.. as it gets more draining to commit to one guy.. and then he cheats on you....

but....

if you have one in the pocket.. he helps you get over the cheater..

I know that sounds real sad.. but I think I am just a little bit bitter

i gave my heart so many times that I am a liitle nnumb to it all.. and that is the worse place to be.

I still want the whole marriage bit ...but.. if it doesn't happen.. then whatever.. .. I still have my life and my career to focus on.. and why not (just date)... until mr right comes along.. if he comes along

vee

It is confusing...this is what I think ...

If it's just dating then you're free to see others.

If you're exclusively dating it's just that one person..kind of a trial before you become boyfriend/girlfriend.

If the situation hasn't been discussed to determine which type of dating you're doing...never assume...

But if you ask if their seeing other people you may not get an honest answer?????????

take every date.. or relationship for what is actually is.

im going to date whoever, whenever and i dont care if the others dont like it. get over it!!!! cause men just come and go. i dont have time to invest in just one if he's being a arsehole!!! thanks ladies

You go viva!!!!
