If they aren't looking to get serious for whatever reason that's ok but I remember one chick I "dated" for a short time and she seemed to try to use the fact that she had other guys in her social life as instigation to try to make me jealous or off balance or make me compete and it didn't sit well with me.

If you are going to date several people at once don't mention it, keep it to yourself is my opinion. I don't have patience or time for that anyway. Nor do I have time to date several women nor do I want to spend the money to date several at once. One is enough even in the trial stages.

And there is another point, maybe she isn't having sex with the 3 guys she is dating but by the 2nd or 3rd date if they aren't kissing then it is a lame dating situation anyway. So imagine a man or woman you like is dating not seriously and imagine in your mind them making out with their other date and tommorrow she or he is going out on a date with you next........

Yeah, I thought so, doesn't turn you on imagining that does it?

For me personally I wouldn't care on a first date if she said she was going to date other guys besides me. But it would be nice for the girl to be upfront with me about it. Dating is different from being in a relationship. A relationship is a commitment imo, whereas dating is getting to know someone and see if you are compatible with each other. Which has made me think of a good question thread.

Right, second or third date she's still not kissing you, touching you, or having sex with you, you might as well move on, right? Kidding.

lol no you're not.

Well she hasn't started dating other men yet and she will see the #1 guy soon but she doesn't want to have "the talk" but she does want to know where she stands with him. She said she wants him to bring it up but she knows there's a good chance he's not and she doesn't want to walk away still being unsure about where things are going.

Guys any suggestions on how she can get a clear answer of what his plans are and if they involve her without her coming across like she's putting him on the spot or backing him into a corner?

Some guys do not date more than one person at time. They are into monogamous dating.

I agree if people who want to date more than one person and explore other options they had better not get too serious or blurt it out that they are dating others unless they want the relationship to evaporate. Getting into a good relationship is really hard to do.

Why should he be kissing you: is that some type of authoritarian rule?
