Truth is, the meal better be quick and really worth the effort if it's a guy we don't have any interest in.


Considering it's usually a $50 or $60 dinner, then yeah, it probably is worth the effort.

UB, not sure if you saw my earlier post, but I was referring to a woman I met online in my own area, closeby, that said, "sorry, wouldn't be fair for me to date more than one person at a time , esp with the current person I'm talking to"

Then she tells me the guys like 500 miles away....why deal with him, when we could meet for coffee rather quickly.

About the free meals, I have a female friend of mine that work as a massuese in a resort location with alot of single 30 something women that do the online dating thing, and apparently they go out on dates for practically every meal, and of course get it for nothing.

No wonder the US is the fattest country in the world.

For him, maybe - for her, doubtful. Some men would have to pay over $100 for the meal for me to think it was worth sitting with him thru. Luckily, I'd rather chew and swallow broken glass than date men I don't have the slightest interest in. I can afford my own meals, and I am way better company to myself. lol

Well God bless women who can take free meals from men they don't like and sit thru those meals, after about one of those I would have to pass. Then again I could never understand the prostitute thing either, but I guess it depends on how much you need to eat. Hopefully these women actually think they might like these men - however men taking women they've never met out on dates for more than a half hour and $20 bucks are kind of asking for it, no? Even victims have a choice.

Edit/Add: Betty, he is talking about an experience he had (Msg 188) where a woman told him he's out because she was more interested in a guy she had only interacted with on-line. He doesn't "get" why she wouldn’t want to be with someone more accessible. He doesn't understand that it's not that she wouldn't want to be with someone closer to home, it's that she does not want to be with him!

Everyones boat floats the way they want it too...my boat floats with one and if this one does not work out then chalk it up as an experience and move on. But for me to date more then one man at a time I would feel like I amnot giving him "me" and not in the sexual sence either. When I am getting to know a man I want to get to know him and have him get to know me. How am I suppose to keep names straight and the things he has been telling me if I am dating Mr.1 Mr.2 and Mr.3?...well I can't so therefore I stick to dating one man. If it works it works and if it doesn't then hey....I'm still single...lol

I know you're joking, but for those men who think women do this, do you know how many women would rather starve or pay for their own meals while eating alone than sit across from a table with someone they don't like more than 10 minutes? I bet you'd be wrong about your answer. Truth is, the meal better be quick and really worth the effort if it's a guy we don't have any interest in.

EXACTLY

What happened with just a cup of coffee on a 1st meeting?.. is that such a major expense even worth mentioning? Seems so, by reading these forums. If a guy is such a cheapskate or a whiner even about that, maybe he should really reevaluate whether he should try to date at all. Because with that attitude, may as well forget it.

I am really dismayed reading all these comments of men griping about free dinners /drinks. I happen not to drink at all, and I don't eat dinner. So with that, what would they accuse me of standing to gain from dating( other than to meet and get to know people)? Tough one huh?

Others view the first few dates as “exploratory” and “getting to know” someone. They aren’t prepared to “exclusively date” that one person until they believe there exists a compatibility to build a relationship on. Once that has been established, then they want to focus solely on that person and hope that the other feels the same way. But UNTIL then, they feel it is acceptable to date others as well.

could not have said it better myself.

You know I just am not sure but what I do know is that I go out a meet a person from online and sure they say they hope it workes out and such. They make me feel like the relationship is going some where and then I do not hear from them for a week or more so I go back on line to see if they have sent me a message and sure enough they are back on line but not talking to me. What is up with that. If you want the kind of relationship where you are not seeing others you need to be specific about that. So I have stoped waiting for the person to IM or email me back if I do not hear from them for a week just take it that they are not sure and I keep looking. Women are not just going to waite and hope you get back with them if you like them you need to let them know and answer them. Just a quick note that things are bussy and you will get back to them when things slow down. Just know we are not going to just sit and waite for you when you can not even sent a quick note in response to a note we have sent you.

Sure, but this all depends on what your definition of "dating" is. If he calls every couple of days and you see him minimum once a week..I would say that's dating and would see only that man. However, if he calls once in awhile and maybe you see him once every two weeks or more...I wouldn't consider that "dating". I think the whole issue comes down to: Did you like him? How strongly you want to see him again? Are you willing to see where it goes without other distractions? There's always so many questions and each relationship starts differently....You've gotta go with your gut feeling about the possibility of each new relationship growing into more.

Who here among us has not done this before? Why sit around waiting for that last guy to make up his mind. Keep your options open, you legs closed and soon enough you will find the one that special someone.

Heres the god honest truth on that one. Women who date 10 guys at once are HOES HOES HOES AND MO HOES! I think that women who have 3 kids by 3 different daddys are hoes poor white trailer trash HOES!

Women who date more than one guy don't necessarily sleep with more than one guy...I love how that gets assumed. I am SURE men who date more than one woman are stone cold celibate practicers, BTW. The topic is date, not sleep with multiple partners...let's stay on track.

what about the guys that want to date multiple women,,,even after a very strong connection with one?

I guess sometimes that strong connection is assumed by the one who's the most interested and invested in wanting more. The other might not be as connected as hoped.

Who here among us has not done this before? Why sit around waiting for that last guy to make up his mind. Keep your options open, you legs closed and soon enough you will find the one that special someone.

Yep, that's the smart way to do it.

Exactly, why wait around on someone....I mean, I'm lucky enough to get 1 date every few months, so I realy don't have the 'dating multiple people at one time' issue.

Everyone should do as they want and what feels right for them.To call someone names,belittle them or sneer at them because they have chosen to live their life differently then you, is showing clearly that you are extremely immature.If what you are doing and the way you are living your life feels right for you ,then great ,wounderful,but don't try and force your beliefs on others.Not all of us want a boring world where every single person thinks the same way.

Why do women date multiple guys at once?

1) probably because women are 'needier'

2) and the dates are 'freebies' where the guys 'foot the bill'

3) and because it wouldn't be a 'double standard' if the woman didn't!

Why on God's Earth are men so concerned about what women they don't even know are doing? I could care less. I don't keep a black book because I don't need one, but if women want to date a lot of men, that is their business. I won't date women who do this because I am a "one at a time" kind of guy. I have other interests. Usually within 5 minutes of meeting someone face to face I know if there will be more than a first date, and I will either concentrate on this or move on. Not everyone is like me. I often have these brilliant flashes...

I think the reason why some guys have a problem with a woman they are dating goin gout with OTHER guys is because, and I can bank on this......that he has NO other "girlfriends" to go out with BUT her.....


See, she is his ONLY option at the time, she was probably the first date in 6 months he's ever had and has a different set of expections...it does make sense though.

WOmen have the pick of the litter, mu ltitudes of men asking them out, while alot of men dont have that luxury.

So, has creatures of habit they tend to "latch on" the one they actually got to say "Yes, I ll go out with you."

Uh excuse me?I think you need to change your post around a little bit. "Beautiful" women have the pick of the litter ,multitudes of men asking them out. Average women are like a disease that no man wants to catch.


I agree with multiple dating in principle . I have not had very many instances in my life when i have actually done it.As i said before a few hours spent together does not make a relationship.Now a couple months is a very different thing.
