NEW TO ALL THIS

I am fairly new to this OLD stuff. I signed up at the beginning of last month, have been talking to 2 guys for about 3-4 weeks on the computer and about 2 weeks on the phone. One guy I have met, the other I have not yet. With the holidays and then a planned vacation, we just have not had time yet to meet yet (but plan too by next week). There is also another guy that called me for the first time last night. I am a little confused by comments that the first 2 guys made, that they are not interested in someonde that is dating or even getting to know more than 1 person at a time. Isn't that the point of these types of web sites, to meet various people and see if there is anything there? How can you know without at least meeting someone if there is a possiblity. The one guy that I have met keeps telling me that he likes me, has stopped all communicatino with the other women he had been talking to that he met on-line becuase he wants to get to know me better. I have never told him that I would be willing to do that, he does know that I have e-mailed 2 other guys and that I talk to one of them on the phone. He seemed a little upset and asked how I could keep the conversations straight with who does what and stuff. I told him it was just like talking to more than 1 friend, I can talk to people and be friends with more than 1 person and know what is going on in their lives.

Maybe I just think differently maybe, but I just don't agree with their thinking and their wanting to be the only person I am getting to know. It just doesn't make sense to me...I am on the web-sites to get to know and possibly meet different people. Am I wrong in my thinking?

You are absolutely not wrong for thinking that. Just don't "let on" that you are keeping your options open. How else are you going to figure out which one is right for you? Be grateful that you have the opportunity to be able to date more than one at a time.
hello
