Serial daters? What is it to you?

We all talk about dating like a man or stacking them up - so my question is "what is a serial dater to you"? Even if we find someone we "really" like more than the others -- our peers tell us to keep dating to keep our mind off of HIM and to not put all eggs in one basket. So I ask you, what is a serial dater then to you?

Thought this would make a good post.

Sure Sheri-


In my dating experience, I am finding when asked, how long have you been dating? When my reply has been.."For a while", I get a pause and then he says...Oh so you have been doing this awhile?

Oh so you have been doing this awhile? It takes on a certain negative tone to me.

Agree but I ignore it. But yes, I hate it when they say you've been doing this for 5 years and still single as if you're the problem -- but anyone can get married including you or myself, we just won't settle and for me the character with shared values and goals are hard to find and for that I won't compromise my integrity even if it's only 5% of the male population & I have to wait it out, LOL. But people don't judge you if you go to bars for 5 years and I do that too including blind dates etc, it's just another avenue I use that works for me or I should say increases my odd's of finding someone to go thru time with.

Edit to add; but I've had a few relationships in that time frame, it wasn't straight, I have taken 6 months off here and there in that time frame. But it's like if you've done match for years you see the same faces as well as new ones (why I use it) and I'm sure some guys roll their eyes thinking, geez, she's still on here, what's wrong with her just as I have with them but then I think of me and say, it's just hard to find that mutual connection on the levels we each personally seek which varies w/all of us. One woman might tolerate a liar or cheater whereas we won't. List goes on and on...
