The last woman I saw, used to tell me how her mom would see 4 or 5 different guys. Clearly she instilled the idea that she too should see as many as she could, because she saw another guy while she saw me, all she had to do was come clean and admit it, and I would still talk to her. She proved to me that she is a liar though, and I can't tolerate that.
Good for you, bro. Move on and dont worry about her.
If there is no mutually agreed to commitment involved, there is nothing to tell the other party
I don't know, while someone you're casually dating shouldn't expect exclusivity, it's good form to let them know that you're seeing other people. They might feel that you're being deceptive otherwise, and may have made different choices in your mutual relationship.
I just hope that people with multiple dating partners are upfront and honest about it.
Wouldn't you just assume that someone you take out on dates occasionally and are not sleeping has a social life outside of those dates?
I don't think it's anyone's business what I do when I am not on a date with them.
Maybe people only date to find instant relationships these days? What ever happened to just having fun and getting to know people without the end goal of coupling up?

Some people take dating more seriously than others, don't like ambiguity, and need to know where they stand so there is no confusion.

Telling the other person when we haven't made a commitment, would be like an admission of guilt when technically I've done nothing to feel guilty about.
I want to know the general gist of the her situation and ideologies because it will influence how much time, money, and effort I'm willing to invest in her. Since I don't really believe in serial dating I place high value on those that I do decide to date because it's usually someone I'm hoping to get into a LTR with eventually.
I like how Aura worded it, it's not so much about being nibby but more about not wanting ambiguity. and not having to assume things.
I can't play the game if I don't know the rules and she's the one setting them.

What exactly are you investing in, though? The potential for sex? The potential for marriage? How about just a nice, companionable night out?
I think I've discovered what is wrong with today's dating-obsessed single people though. Too much desperation and dependence on outcomes. If nothing lasting comes out of a date, it means failure!!!! So much for a fun night out.

Life is too short to not enjoy its moments.
I would not bother dating if I wasn't looking for a romantic relationship. Plus approaching 30 I don't exactly have time to be around with dating for fun.
