I don't really understand the lying part. Why do it? Just say "I have other plans" and leave it at that, or "I'm not available that night". When you're dating someone, and if you're a bit mature (this is key), you should know better than to pry into it any more after hearing that.

This is why multi dating is a bad concept. Someone almost always gets hurt and the individual usually isn't completely honest.

Exactly! Lying is how people get caught. Just tell the guys, "Hey, just so you know, I'm not looking for a committed relationship and not looking to date exclusively." and just leave it at that.

She can't do that because it will spoil all her fun, because likely when these guys find out, after 2 months of dating, they're not going to stick around. Honesty will ruin the good time she's having.

Wow. That is probably the most self-serving bunch of baloney I have ever heard on CD. And as you can imagine, that is up against some pretty stiff competition.

It's not "self-serving" when it works both ways. I don't think it's any of my business if someone I'm seeing is involved with someone else.

Correct. It isn't, until you discuss exclusivity. Just because you're going on dates with someone doesn't mean their life is an open book to you.

If she's going around sleeping with 3 other guys because she's not in a relationship, chances are she's not the type of girl I'd want to date anyways. I'd prefer to know so I could find someone better

I don't want a committed relationship and really don't care about this ''Oh will I find Mr Right'' thing (and never did). I don't like the idea of being stuck with one person for years. There's is too much responsibilities within a relationship.
