true. true. i'd want to be with one person, too or else it just ruins the romance for me, if i have many people going on. the thing is it takes time to get to know people and even learn about ourselves... the things we like and dislike. we may "think" we'll know what we like in a person, but we don't really know unless we experience it.
that's where casual dating comes in as in a simple movie, walk, kiddy golf, etc.... it'll give you time to get to know the person as well as get to know other people. you can be dating 1, 3 or 100... whatever you can handle. it doesn't even have to involve anything romantic. casual dating gives you the opportunity to get to know the person, & actually experience learning about the qualities you like or dislike in a person. there's an "ideal" & what we actually do like/dislike.
i wouldn't want to be the only person a girl has ever dated. i
WANT to know she's dated a lot of people and
CHOSE me. it's another thing if she's slept around a lot. not for me.
i don't want to be someone who just there at the right time & place (meeting her first). there's a possibility of her having that doubt about maybe she could have done better. i'd rather she date a lot people and chose the best for her.
that's just my take. i understand the not wanting to be chosen side, too. it could take the romance out.
