Exclusivity is never implied. I'm polyamorous and date multiple women a week. When we are out, I make her the center of our universe, when we are not out, she is free to go out and do anything with as many men as she wants. I'm confused on what you mean by double booking. If you mean scheduling dates with two people Wednesday at 7:00 pm and dropping one at the last minute, I would never do that. If you mean schedule one date Wednesday with one person and another date on Thursday with another person, more power to you.

There are even instances where I'll go out with one person on Friday night, invite them to spend the night and spend part of Saturday with them, then clean up my house and find a person to hook up with Saturday night, then go out with yet another person on Sunday. I spend much of my free time cleaning my house and doing laundry to make sure everything is always in impeccable condition.

Edit: I read the entire post and see nothing wrong with rescheduling, though if the city is small enough he could potentially see that you rescheduled to be out with someone else and feel slighted.

Wow, dating as a hobby. Interesting.

Well, I'm sorry to say that things didn't work out with the guy I like. Even after I took his ass to Olive Garden!

I never really am. Not common at all for the people that I talk with. There is always one that tops the others.

Thanks, Auraliea! I am disappointed but I think a lesson was learned here.
