I agree with you bedlog.I couldn,t have sex with someone and see other men.i would definately feel like i was cheating on them,which is something i could never do.i,m a one man woman.What do you do though,if this hasn,t been discussed with the person you are "seeing".I just assume they,ll be faithful to me..........maybe that,s where i,m going wrong!

Well we have two arms, two legs, a pair of ears and eyes. But God only made us with one penis. So I guess it should be just one partner at the time!

You have to decide which person you wnat to be with. Dating both guys is cheating, unless they know about each other. If I were you I would just decide on one and tell the other that you met someone else. Good Luck

i don't think its wrong to date more than one person when you still don't know what you really want and if someone asks you to commit well they shouldn't take it so hard if you told them in the first conversation that you wanted to take things slow so you know for sure what you want. I see more than one guy and its never caused problems for me..i tell them i'm not looking for a relationship and they understand that..

I don't think you have to tell non-sex partners anything.

My personal belief is you should be completely honest with all parties involved. In this way, they can make an educated decision to continue to be involved with you or not.

We're all adults here. Being up front and honest is never the wrong thing to do in these cases.
Hiding or withholding information that you know would be important to your partner/date/lover is cowardice IMO. Be honest and deal with it. You would want to know…right? The old double standard is never cool.
But then most people have their own way of justifying doing the "wrong" things when it suits them. It’s human nature. That doesn’t make it right though!

If you are dating many people and you tell them you are, then it's your choice to have sex with without having to tell anyone that you are. If a person can handle you dating other people, then that's their choice, most won't.

Just because you date or have sex with a person, it doesn't mean you own them a lifetime commitment. again, I must stress you should tell any man your dating here and there that your dating others and your not wanting to commit and that you just want to enjoying dating, until such time you change your mind.

If you're going to date more then one person at a time (nothing wrong with this) but you have to be completely honest with all of them. This means letting them know that you are having sex with more then one partner. It's only fair, then it's THEIR choice if they want to continue seeing you and having sex with you when you're sexually active with others. Being dishonest, not a way to start any kind of relationship out.

If you don't think you're doing anything wrong, why hide it? I'm assuming you use condoms every time.

Okay. This is just one more thing to have to deal with. When you are seeing someone, and you find that their number of POF friends has grown A LOT since you first began seeing each other, it is very disheartening. Sucks. Really sucks. To continue an established friendship is one thing, but to keep adding is another.

Huh? You can't tell how many people HE has on HIS list. All you can see is how many people have him on theirs.

Not seriously dating would mean non-committment!! Therefore there are no boundries, and the only time you need to address the subject would be if asked!! You would cut off ties with the other if you decide to be exclusive with one of them, and that person is uncomfortable with you being friends with the other person!! Otherwise alls fair!!

Every woman should have at least 3 boyfriends when dating. One for sex, one to take you out, and one you really want to marry one day. I think you should date both men and have sex with both too. You are single so it is okay and you know what, it's a hell of a lot of fun too. I persoanlly do not like secrets so it would be hard to lie about it. The hard part comes when one asks for you exclusively. Deal with that when it comes around. In the mean time, be looking for that 3rd boyfriend.

If you are seeing several guys on a regular basis, you should tell them what the deal is up front, even if you are not having sex with them. I tell the women I go out with that I am seeing others. I would hope that they are comfortable with that. If not, they are free to go out with someone else. How do you ever find the right one if you limit yourself to a few? I got that idea from my Mom.

Not any disrespect to your dear Mum but how your inner compass can guide you into safe harbour when constantly exposed to mixed currents and surely even settling down and getting thoughts/directions in order just doesn't provide time & space, let realising that the dreamed harbour might have been already on horizon but been missed by foggy ~ fuzzy view

"A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" my mum used to tell me.

I don't sleep with anyone I'm not seriously dating...I also wouldn't be dating or seeing more than one person at a time.

for me personally...
once you sleep with someone you sleep with only them or you break it off...
the reason for this, for me, is it makes life easier.
I do not have to explain anything really, and once you have slept with someone, more often than not they believe you are now exclusive. If we are both in agreement to not being 100% exclusive at that point I may risk it, but often even if they say yes... it does mean no...

just my thoughts on it...good luck!

Some people are at such a level of paranoia about that, I don't know why they even date. Do you never fly because somewhere, one day a plane crashed? Do you never go into a tall building since 9/11? Or shy away from elevators because one fell one time and killed the people in it

^^^^^I'll Admit I can't do this yet, but touche' to one person has obviously lived and is living life!
* clears throat and onto the topic....
Why is everyone Badgering the OP? If one's profile says 'DATING" then that's what he/she wants to do. All these 'Morality' lectures weren't asked of or deserved.....
If your 'dating', your trying to find someone thats compatable and one you have chemistry with.In my opinion,The OP's mistake was to even mentioning Sex instead of just sticking to dating more than one person at a time. POFers will jump on that one, girl!....I think she knows what 'dating' means. I believe she is aware of STD's etc. etc. No need to announce your methods and get everyones Panties in a bind! If your trying to find your soulmate, your not going to do it by Emails....At least not here! How you choose to do that is up to you....just zip the lip.....|:)

warmthnpassion, if she has that many she is involved with, they better have the same name or she should use the same pet name..........so confusing, but why not just have one for every day of the week and take Tuesdays off, unless someone really deserving walks by!
