If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here?

When I started dating someone from here, I thought is was going well so I stopped trying to meet anyone else. Then she dumped me (for her ex!), and I had to start over. I would have been much better off if I had continued meeting other women in this particular case.

Dating one person at a time may not necessarily be
the best method for everybody.


If you are in a relationship, is it still ok to meet people from here?

The question is about being in a relationship not dating. Some people can date more than one person and be kewl with it. I don't, but that is me. But the question is about being in a relationship. A relationship is a step further than just dating. That is why I say get out of the relationship because if you feel the need to look, it isn't the person for you.

I will add my voice to the many who say it is not OK.

This is primarily a dating site, forum discussions aside.

Maintaining a presence here or any dating site sends a signal that part of you is still looking or unsure about the relationship. You may think it is innocent but all this place will do is distract you from the relationship.

If you are with someone special, you gotta stop putting yourself out there.

you need to stay out of a relationship untill you find
that BETTER match.

Even if you're in a relationship with the best match
you've ever found, no one knows what tomorrow will bring.

One has to wonder what's wrong with the world today, that someone actually has to ask this question.

I mean come on, coming to POF to meet "friends of the opposite sex" in person...lol.

Unless your profile declares otherwise, maintaining a
presence here means you don't feel that the person(s)
with whom you have a relationship is the best you'll
ever find, i.e. you haven't called off the search and
you're open to whatever opportunities come along.

OPEN REPLY TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR ,JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND MY OPINIONS ,SO NO OFFENCE MEANT TO ANYONE
I often hear the saying ,it's not what we do but how we do it,well if this is the case then surely we need to question the validity of the question itself:d
Its not what we do but how we do it
One has to question what type of relationship he or she is in,in the first instance
Secondly if you are a guy,how would you feel if your woman was meeting other men off here,and if you are a woman,the question goes for you too
But then again what is being in a relationship in todays world,what defines it?
I personally feel that if you choose to establish a relationship with someone else,respect of the persons feelings ,opinions and what have you ,need to be considerd from the onstart.If you feel the need to still meet other people whilst in a relationship,then maybe its better you get out of the relatonship entirely.
What happens if things get out of hand with one of your meets off here,it can very easily happen,lol

I say no also. Only come onto the forums to read the interesting and funny posts. Profile's closed down and not accepting any more messages.

No, if I was in a relationship that wouldn't be ok ....other then for the forums if your not single I don't think you have any buissness being on a dating site.

Ah the just as friends routine; no it isn't; you have male friends around you and you dont need to do it. It would be a deal breaker for me. Put your effort into your new person not the need to get more chat buddies.

Talking is one thing...and I would be completely honest about my relationship. But meeting them? No way!...unless he was invited to come with me.

When I was in a relationship, though, my main pic was a pic of us as a couple, so I was very upfront about it. To be honest, I rarely even checked into POF when I was in my relationship...and I shared those emails with him, so he would have no doubts as to my integrity.

I encourage it as long as they don't do anything behind my back.
I want my GFs to be happy. I'm not a prison warden.

It sure can but sometimes that's a good thing.
Abridging people's freedom or holding them back from
the fullest possible life isn't the purpose of a relationship IMO.

Bottom line if you think you found someone you want, and they want you the only way your going to really give the relationship a chance is to invest the time to that person not online with others. If your still here looking then thats a negative way to look at life and the relationship. How can something succeed if your expecting it to fail.

meeting new people and going out? i agree with most here that's a red flag..

e-mailing back and forth with friends you've had here for a while? no problem. especially if you put the fact that you're happily in a relationship on your profile..

What gives? this is basically the same thing I asked in one of my posts, and your responses are alot more positive than mine were...(mine seemed to stir up alot of conflicting oppinions, etc) Cheers to you, cause I guess you must have "worded" yours much better than I did.

WTF??? Would you be okay with it?
You: Hey babe, who was that guy I saw you at the movies with last night?
Her: Oh just a friend I met on a dating website.
You: WTF??
Her: Oopsie. Did I just push a button?

Enough said.

I'm wondering if the man EVER gets off here. I'm seeing this guy, things are really good, then I see him on here, pics, whole 9 yards with a headline screaming 'i know you out there'. I protest, he says, it's hidden. He hid it from me, only. He just couldn't stop looking. Is it the number of favorites you get or the mental sex as someone said?
Maybe I wasn't the one, but isn't that a slap in the face?

I would definitely NOT be okay with it. Why are they looking for friends of the opposite sex? Looks to me like they're looking for greener grass.

For me, I would not tolerate that. It is one thing to continue to make friends from the forum and become chat buddies, but another if you are meeting them. Why do you need new friends when you just started a relationship? Something is fishy to me.

Why would anybody be trolling if they were intending to be faithful? I'd dump the guy like a load of week-old fish.

Everyone has a life prior to meeting someone they are currently dating.
If you are on a singles site..like pof and have 'not looking..not interested' that would give a clear message...to some..but some do ignore this.
"Friends" should be in the flesh all ready I think and not made from a singles site after you have commited to dating someone...and if you find your eye is wandering maybe you should look for someone else and let the person you are dating know this.
