I JUST finished a long debate with a friend on the so-called "Art of Dating".
I argued that meeting and/or dating multiple men at one time is not a mortal sin. Especially if sex isn't involved. For instance, going to a club, getting a few numbers and then meeting/dating those three guys (separately) to see who's more compatible...I always assumed this was just normal dating practice: The Numbers Game...the best man "wins out" so to speak...I mean, we're talking about an eventual life-partner...I'm not saying ditch everyone you meet for "The next best thing" but until you do find Mr Right is it wrong to have other options?
My friend's viewpoint was that dating on that level kinda makes you a whore and you don't get to invest in the proper time/energy to get to know a person if you're juggling between multiple suitors. He said that when he meets a guy he's interested in, he ONLY sees him until he knows its not gonna work out...Basically putting all his eggs in one proverbial basket...
Am I wrong?
What do you think?
