Nothing wrong with being non-monogamous.

It's what "dating" is.

If you don't like the heat stay out of the kitchen.

It's fine, as long as everyone is aware of, and ok with, the situation.

Would depend entirely.

Say, I've met 2 girls and I've taken each of them out for a date or two or three.. but it's not gotten beyond just that, dating. Theres been no sex, or make outs or sleep overs.. then no I don't have a problem with the idea of some one dating more than one person.. However.. once sex comes into the picture, for me at least, I wouldn't feel comfortable "Dating" a person I knew was out having sex with other people. That's how you catch diseases. So once sex comes into the picture, it either has to advance to exclusivity.. in which case you've got to let the other one go.. or else neither of them want to be exclusive.. in which case I let them both go cause I'm not into casual sex. There does come a point though where you have to make up your mind what you want, and thats why I find it easier to just go after one person at a time.

for me, a monogamous relationship is a must.. but so long as sex hasn't entered the picture yet.. date away.. provided you have the finances for it.

I mean.. my Ex thought she should be allowed to "be friends" (read: have sex with) a few other guys and that I was just supposed to be okay with it.. since after all she'd said I could go after other girls so long as it was "Just sex".. but for me.. there's no such thing as 'Just sex'.. because in order for me to feel comfortable enough with another person in order to do that.. I have to actually really like them and want to be with them... so now she's off catching god knows what and getting into god knows what kind of trouble and I'm back to being single. Considering the STD rates among young people.. if you find some one who hasn't got something you need to hang onto them cause it's a minor miracle..

Once you become exclusive, dating others is morally wrong.

Until then, shopping around is totally alright. Sooner or later you will want to be with one, and when you and the lucky lady have that 'talk' - and you will - you will probably have stopped seeing others by then if your conscience is sound. ;)

Isn't the whole point of dating the very idea of "shopping around"? Like, I agree with others, once you've started kissing and whatnot, you might wanna consider going exclusive, but until then you're trying to find that person you connect with. How else are you gonna find out without dating around?

Usually people want kisses and sex in the first or second date. Dating is not going out like "friends". A lot of men try to kiss you, touch you or have sex with you the first time you date.
