Do you think it is okay to go on a first/second/third date with two or more individuals, as long as there’s no commitment made yet? (See comments.)

You have to make it known what you’re expecting from the relationship, if you’re seeing other people, etc.

My husband has a buddy that is very commitment-phobic. He’s afraid someone better is going to come along. So he dates a lot of women. He tells them he doesn’t want a commitment, but then does a lot of things that a boyfriend would do. Everyone has tried to tell him numerous times that he’s confusing these females. But he won’t listen.

Yes, as long as you can mentally and emotionally handle it.

First, maybe. Third? No. Don’t go on third dates with two people at once. If not a second date, a third date is definitely an unspoken commitment. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone got real angry on a third date when you told them you were seeing someone else. This is all if a date means actually spending time together and talking. If y’all are just fuckin It’s probably fine

Yes.
You shouldn't feel secure until we're cuddling on the couch discussing where Bundy could've done better.

Al Bundy? I’m confused.

Ted, Al... improvements could have been made across the board, really.

Why not? You’re getting to know people.

I think so, just be honest with them.

I’m happy for you! I hope one of these guys works out.

It’s perfectly fine to see them both for a couple weeks. 🤗

As long as you are open to telling each of them that you aren’t quite ready to settle down and that there are other interested parties, I don’t see an issue. Better to be up front than hurt someone’s feelings.

Yes. But, you need to be honest that you are openly dating others.

I’m not even sure that coffee with a guy is considered a date. So... just not sure.

When in doubt, admit it. Better safe than sorry.

Of course it’s ok. You would be doing a disservice to the person you “settle” for if you don’t make sure you are happy. Also, you should make sure you’re happy. Unhappy relationships suck your soul.

I don’t see a problem with it.

I have at least two guys interested in possibly dating me. I’ve been on a first “meeting” for coffee with one, and there will be a second date/meeting/whatever on Friday. And another guy is interested in meeting for a first date as well. Just figured I’d make a poll about it.
