My grandmother is always saying that to me .I doubt though that this is what she had in mind but I am thinking that I am going to start by diversifying my relationship base so that at any one point intime ,I would have several relationships instead of one.That way I dont loose all I invested when that one fails since I would have another "basket of eggs" so to speak somewhere. This gives me added insulation form heartbreak too since I would have another relationship to fall back on and wouldnt have to spend too much time grieving about the demise of any one relationship. I know some may argue that having so many relationships is going to mean that none will get the effort and time that they deserve and hence increases the chances of failure.My responses to that is that the added benefits of diversity,redundancy and reduced grief time is at least worth trying it out. Disclaimer :I havent tried out this technique yet ,just weighing the pro's and cons ,so if anyone can present convincing arguments why this is not a good approach,then please furnish them.!!!

If you're interested in only dating then your idea is a good one...as long as you're open & honest with the women you date. Don't give the impression of being committed if you're not. The only problem with this ideal is that you may find yourself falling for someone who also shares your non-commitment views and could find yourself feeling a different kind of heartbreak. I took a look at your profile and, if the age you list is accurate and you plan to have a family one day, you might not want to play this game for very long or you could find yourself out in the cold when it comes time to settle down.

I would not go about things this way if I was you.You could end up getting very hurt especially when all the eggs get mixed up and you end up with scrambled eggs.It might seem a good idea a girl in every port senario.Broken hearts are a part of life as we have all found out.Besides how are you going to take them all out on a saturday night and you would need to have a fair amount of money to buy them all a birth day presents,christmas presents, flowers,chocolates.Then theres all that nagging and the time of the month would a bloke really want that three or four times.Then you have to keep them all a secret from one another.The bloke would have no time to play sport and there would be no time to have a pint with there mates after saying all this if the woman were able to do the same to the bloke then yes,I don't suppose many woman would ming having three or four men taking them out and buying all those presents,I think you have a good idea,all those meals out I would never have to cook again,Hang on it is a good idea.xx

Hmmm good advice... hahaha, not so acceptable with your partners anyway... well dating with many girls is one thing (none of them are the serious one), and they all now what to expect. As long as you don't make any commitments words to one of them, or make any gesture about commitment, its still ok. But when you found the one, and you want to make commitment to that one, you have to say good bye to the rest of the girls you've been dating.

Be yourself! No response might be a good way to such a situation....
