I see, I missed that exchange.

I'm curious now, are you submissive?

I usually never inquire. Mainly because I am not interested in a LTR.......I usually let them know that I don't care if they are dating other people.

I don't think so. I just don't see a reason to have to pick and choose among so many wonderful options, so I prefer them to come to me. It would be almost like saying that any others are not suitable if I made the choice...and I don't think that to be true.

That is, if you're not talking in a sexual sense. If you were, I'm more than willing to trade off on that--neither always dominant, nor always submissive.

Many seem very tolerant and flexible with their situations.

If she is with me, she is with me.

You never know what she gets up to with her lady friends though, but I think that is another whole subject!

Is it possible he was asking because he wants to know whether it's cool that he's still looking around too?

If I am to believe what he said during the conversation, then no.

OngletNYC -- My husband directly asked for exclusivity on something like the 4th or 5th date. I told him that I didn't feel ready for such a big step and wanted to move slowly.

I believe that if you handle it in a sweet way and let him know how much you are enjoying his company, he'll respect your wishes. If he doesn't, then he isn't the right guy for you anyway.

In my experience, when a man meets a woman that he's crazy about, he usually wants to jump in with both feet. You have the right to pace things so that you are comfortable. It won't deter a good man who is ga-ga over you.

TKramer - You once made a remark on another thread that intrigued me and I haven't forgotten: You said that you have never felt butterflies or experienced chemistry or infatuation with a woman. You appear to be very blase in your attitude towards women, as though they are interchangeable and you can take them or leave them.

I can't help but wonder if it's related to your passive approach. In other words, the women who are approaching you are fine ladies, but they don't really excite you (and that's okay with you).

Maybe if you initiated something with a beautiful women; a woman whom you feel is just slightly out of your league, you'll experience the "thrill of the chase" and rush of euphoria when/if she responds to you positively.

Just a thought.

My apologies for derailing your thread, OngletNYC.

I'm not in your queried age demographic just yet, but I'm close. I don't even bring it up. I assume they're dating other people and it does kinda bother me, but only until I go out with one of the other girls I'm seeing as well. Spinning multiple plates is the way to go IMO as it keeps you sane in this day and age. When she wants to only see you, trust me on this, she'll be the one to bring it up. Until then, enjoy life and the little harem you've got going for yourself. That's my take on it anyway.
