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?

Well, in the name of honesty, I would say: "Yes, I am. Would you like us to be exclusive?"
Or, if you are really interested and afraid that he might get upset that you are seeing others, too, just say: "No" and then ask him why he wants to know.

Yes. I can't think of a reason to lie to somebody about that.

I would ask, "Why do you ask"?

I have dated men concurrently for the past several years and so far have NEVER had any of them ask if I am seeing anyone else.

My guess is that it would never occur to them that I was.

Good question though.

Honesty is the beset policy.

In that phase of life I stated it right off the bat. I didn't want to give false impressions. But I know friends who lied about that to avoid drama or keep a guy around.

I don't date more than one man at a time- not because I think it's morally wrong, I just can't. If I like someone enough to be dating him, I don't have room for anybody else in my heart. Actually dating someone is different from getting to know several guys, so I don't see myself in that situation.

"Yes, why? Is that something you'd like to discuss?"

Yes, I've always been honest about it. I usually won't volunteer the information, but if I'm asked I'll definitely be honest.

He's asking because he's suspicious and he either (i) suffers a bruised ego at the mere possibility or (ii) is serious about you. Which do you think it is? You may want to handle one of those differently from the other.
