Have you ever dated 4 or more people at the same time?

I have done this before, and needless to say, it was quite confusing. I was 24 and single at the time, and in California. It seemed like every night I was going out with someone, and somedays, I would have afternoon dates, and then evening dates, so I never lacked any excitement. however, the first time I dated Four men at the same time, was when I had barely turned 18. I still do not know how that happened, because there were times I didn't date at all. has anyone else had this situation before? how did you manage? because I am surely glad I am not single anymore!

i am in the dating frenzy right now but i have not dated 4 guys at the same time. probably 2 or 3 at the same time. wow you must be really gorgeous to have so many guys interested to ask you out. well i see nothing wrong in dating many guys. as long as you are not committed to a specific person

I don't think I am gorgeous at all. as a matter of fact, I just play a good game. can't say the 4 lasted longer than a month though, but it was fun while it did! (then they figure out they aren't getting any, and split)

If you are in a dating frenzy, that is really cool! you should have a lot of fun, because that is what dating is all about. If you want to have fun, keep yourself available. If they invite you out, they pay. if you invite them out you pay. fair game. I have met all kinds of people at church, while shopping, through friends, coffee shops, and even online and over the phone, though those last two are risky, and if you do those last two, be very, very cautious. I have found those guys to be the sleeziest. (yuch!) when I dated (before I got married finally!) that many guys, I committed to nobody but myself. as they say, there are many fish in the sea, and I don't care what a woman looks like, there is always a guy out there ready to spend some quality time with a lady. Lucky for us.

Some states,such as Arizona are that way as well, people stay pretty much with one person. But, I have also lived in Cali, Utah, and Colorado, where this just doesn't happen. I don't know why. But, that has been my experience. It is way more fun dating a lot of guys, instead of just one serious one, but I guess it depends on what you want, really. I usually end the fun dates, "dinners" (as I call them, because they usually take you out to dinner)when it starts to get too serious. I mean, dating for fun is one thing, but a girl has got to draw the line somewhere! When I tell a guy I am only dating for fun, it usually stops at a dinner, a movie, or something like the fair or something, and it ends there. Some of these guys assume more. too bad for them.

Nope, not four. Just three men and only for a short time. Probably three weeks to a month. It was fun at first but it got stressful when the rumors started. I was 23 then, a new kid on the block. It so happened that two of them (the third one was an officemate)were friends and we lived in the same compound. So, I would be seen one weekend with guy A then the following week with guy B. It also happened too that the compound was a little on the conservative side, and so they started to talk nasty behind my back. And I thought there was nothing wrong with it, I was not committed to either of them. Also, each of them knew that I was dating both of them. But anyway, when I was told about the rumors, I stopped seeing both of them.

My first time, I was a youngin, and didn't know any better. things just happened. I don't know how they found out about each other, but I had one over, who was helping with my stereo in the back, then my phone rang, my mother answered, and it was another guy I had been seeing, and then another one showed up at the front door on a whim, supposedly. I still think they planned it to get back at me, I think I was terrified that everything went sour, but my mother thought it was pretty cute I could have so many lines in the pond at once, trying to catch a "fish" so to speak. the fourth guy didn't really give a darn. I knew he was seeing other women anyways.

No, I would never date more than one perosn at a time. NOt just because it is immoral but I wuold fint it to be very confusing and hard to fit into my already busy schedule.
