shah269 0 #1 February 10, 2011 So, I'm kind of sort of maybe seeing someone or two or three at the moment. A few dates, dinner, drinks, movies, dry humping on a couch or two......am I off the hook this year for Valentine's day? Or do I HAVE to do or get something? And if so should I expect to get something?Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

We had this "talk" "Shah you are 34, bla bla bla you are older bla bla bla bla you can't risk just going after one girl for months on end and seeing how it works out bla bla bla you really should date more than one girl at the same time bla bla bla serial monogamy bad for someone in your position bla bla bla bla” And now I'm here.......eh....should be fun! I guess I got lucky that Valentine's day falls on a Monday! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

wmw999 2,120 #7 February 10, 2011 If you want her to feel special, then do or get something. Small, impersonally personal (like 2 chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to her office or home or eaten on a wine-bar date, or, if it's more serious, a meal that you cook). If she makes it clear she expects something, you might want to consider whether you want to keep dating her...

I really don't want to hear you bitch about not finding a girl who makes you happy if you are splitting your attention among 5 different women. How can you keep them straight? How can you get to really know any of them? Note - I'm talking about developing a serious, long-term relationship here, not just hookups.

shah269 0 #16 February 10, 2011 Quote Five? How can you keep them straight? How can you get to really know any of them? Note - I'm talking about developing a serious, long-term relationship here, not just hookups. I'm not hooking up with all of them. Some have just been one or two dates since the start of the year. Or one or two dates with a bit of dry humping. As for keeping them "straight" I think they are but I'm hoping they are Bi As for "knowing them" well...sadly that's really easy. I'm cursed in that I can run my way into the Friend Zone as if it were my job. BUT but having 5 different girls to talk to I never ever get there. So it works rather well. As for a serious long term thing...that's the plan. BUT as with before where I just focused on one girl....I now just hedge my bets. Think of it as a game of roulette. The more chips you have on the table the better your odds! After all only a moron would lay all their chips on one number. And so far....it has worked. One girl calls and says she can't make it.....well there is another! I'll be honest with you, it's not what I really want. In a perfect world....IN A PERFECT WORLD...I would just date one girl and see where things go. But well, my friends are right. What did serial monogamy get me? LOTS OF RISK! And well I'm 34, I really don't want to be single till I'm 43 and well...how else can you do it? Diversify your options to reduce your overall risk. Like girls don't do that?

I will date a guy if I think he's pretty great and it's hard enough to find one of those!! Why fuck it up by dating more than one person? Why date someone if there's no hope for long-term happiness with that person?

wmw999 2,120 #20 February 10, 2011 I, on the other hand, would definitely date more than one guy when I was openly dating. If it got serious, then it'd move on to exclusive dating. We won't discuss exactly which actions took place during which phase, but going out to dinner and movies is definitely not in the exclusive-only category.

So dating is like "hanging out" with someone before it gets serious.. Maybe that's more of an american thing.. I tend to think of dating as when you've stopped hanging out and you're actually a couple. So on that basis, sure, open dating - why not.
