Fellas if you're dating several women (single, couple, straight, conversation)

[Ron.]

and one of them (the one that you're seriously interested in) asks "Are you seeing other people?" Would you answer that question honestly? Or rather, how would you answer that?

[TaoistDude]

I would answer honestly. I would probably say that I think dating is about finding the right person with whom to be exclusive, and while I haven't reached that point yet, it is my goal. If I were indeed most serious about the one who asked, I'd tell them that I think they may be that person. And if the time was actually right, I'd ask if they wanted to make it exclusive.

Lol@ Ron! I know it seems like a no brainer but it's actually a bit challenging.

Yes, I would answer it honestly. How I answered it would depend on the circumstances...

If I was *just* dating these other girls I'd say yeah but nothing serious and then say how about you? or otherwise try to carry the conversation out to figure out where she's coming from / where she's going

I can only date one woman at at a time.

Cuz from my experience, they're all crazy in different ways.

I also tip my hat to the dude. His answer was far superior to mine.

It has been a while since I was single.

I never ran into that situation, usually was with just one woman at a time, a couple of times there were some slight overlap, but usually one would kind of just fade out naturally, I guess the subject never came up.

I suppose I would be straight up about it.

I try avoiding the whole concurrent dating thing. People talk here like it's the progressive thing but to me that sounds like striking out twice with one swing. If somebody told me "yeah I'm dating another dude concurrently" I'd honestly lose interest right away. I don't know, playing the Plan B guy doesn't get me stiff if you know what I mean, I'm such an anachronistic selfish man pig with my ways and all...

Oink-oink, there are more of us. That wouldn't fly with me, either.
