Just wondering on your preference when out in the dating game. Are you 1 person at a time or multiple? This is just talking/casual dating, no commitments of course.

I preferred one person at a time, rather than juggling several people at the same time. I'd rather give it a chance with one person and after a few dates, if there isn't compatibility, move on. I also never did OLD where it's easier to "meet" many people at the same time.

I prefer one person. Obviously if it's casual, I'm not going to not go out with someone else if the situation arises, but I'd rather focus on one guy at a time.

Never had the opportunity to date more than one at a time.

If I did, I wouldn't see why not.

As long as you're good at remembering names.

Dating multiple people would be stressful and it defeats the purpose.

If I am going to date, I have to already be interested in that person on a deeper level.

Dating multiple people is more of an effect of online dating. Not saying, it wasn't common before, but with OLD because you message many people and their response rates are different, you often end up in a situation where you are talking to/dating multiple people.

Outside of OLD, you have to make a real effort to talk to/date someone, and if you are already dating someone else, you'll probably pass.

For me personally, it just gets way too complicated (even from a scheduling stand-point) to date multiple people. With OLD it becomes hard because there are so many options, and you want to keep your options open in case things don't work out. I prefer dating one person, but I know people that can handle dating multiple.

*also the definition of "dating" is important. If you mean initial one-time meet-ups, that's different than having multiple dates with more than one person.

When I was dating, it was one at a time. I expected that from the other person as well.

I often dated multiples for short periods of time, as I figured out who'd be most compatible and mutually interested in seeing where it could go. So, there might be a few dates of overlap, but I would waste my time or theirs unless there was some real attraction and potential - if there wasn't, one meet was usually enough to rule someone out.

I can barely date one woman. What am I going to do with two at the same time? It sounds fun but it could also be tiresome and difficult.
