Some people date one person after another and some people juggle a few, then decide who they want to keep on seeing.

If someone you had just met said that they had just met a couple other people and were just getting to know them, would that change your interest level in them? Would you then not bother with them and move on to a serial dater or would you be fine knowing that they are juggling a couple other people? I tend to look at it like I have a better chance of wasting my time with jugglers and don't want to bother with them.

Only if it's even... definitely not if a man is only one-sided on this.
If I don't feel like dating others then it would be a waste of time to consider it.

More than 1 person is just far too complicated for me.


If a guy told me (or if I found out) he was dating other women, I would definitely lose interest. I am too jealous for that, on top of grossed out by the threat of STDs...!

She'd be telling you she's not interested in a relationship with you.

In my opinion, it depends on how well you connected or, perhaps, extenuating circumstances and the type of relationship I am hoping to establish. For example, if I am trying to establish a friend with benefits relationship, I feel I should be able to be a friend regardless of who else she is seeing.

Have you considered being more upfront about the type of relationship you want? However, in my opinion, it usually doesn't pay guys to be jealous in modern times.

What a coincidence, I feel the same way (from the perspective of the opposite gender).

Many gender studies claim women are good at multitasking.

Would it be inappropriate to ask for a booty call relationship or a friend with benefits relationship? Modern times require modern forms of relating and relationships.

That would be inviting excess drama. Life is drama-filled enough without inviting more. No way. I'd appreciate their honesty but I'd definitely move on. Gladly.

You'll look like a punk and make her feel promiscuous.
