When a person is casually dating multiple people and you become serious with one of the individuals, do you owe an explanation to the other individuals or is it okay to just cut it off?
How about you? Would you like to be treated like a human being and told that your dating friend has become exclusive with someone by that person; or, would prefer to be treated like a sudden and complete 'non-factor' and left - like a loose end - hanging on the matter?
How would you answer your own question?
I would prefer that my dating fling simply man/woman up and tell me. It would be the proper thing to do. Then they don't have to worry about me going postal on them later when I find out by accident and maybe even feel like a fool, depending on this person's other inabilities at acting like a mature and civilized human being.

I think the only time it's ever ok to cut someone off is if they are abusive or insulting to you.
Otherwise, you should treat people how you would want to be treated and let them know you've enjoyed spending time with them but you've found someone with whom you click really well and you are going to pursue that.
Treat people how you would want them to treat you.

A nice explanation has worked for me, both ways. I was given a polite goodbye from a few casual dates, and for a while when I felt like dating only one woman I gave such polite goodbyes to other women I had been casually dating.
IMO it's always better to be nice and polite. In my case I've resumed dating one woman I had written off after another affair ended poorly.
See, this is why I personally do not date more than 1 woman at a time. I do not wanna have to deal with this. And, what if I really like 2 at the same time?
It depends; if you've gone out with the others multiple times I would definitely let them know. If it was just one coffee date and you haven't talked to them since, no I don't think you owe them anything unless they text you again. But if someone has taken you out/spent a fair amount of time with you, it's definitely nice to just let them know you've met someone else. Ghosting would be rude.
