Hi all,


I'm newly single and have decided to 'date around'.

Dating around is the best way to go...But I don't recommend sleeping with all of them. I have one steady FWB that I've played with off/on for 3yrs. I always make sure to drop by his house and get my rocks off the day before a date...Keeps me from letting my hormones get out of control when I'm on a first date with a new guy.

For some people it works, for others it doesn't.

I REALLY understand where you're coming from, but I'm trying to avoid a 'FWB'.

Doesn't that take some of the fun out of dating the "new guy"? I always find the build-up of sexual tension one of the fun parts of dating someone new. I think if I were sleeping with someone else, I'd be less likely to get as into someone new.

I am also someone who doesn't really date more than one guy at a time -- when I do, it's only on a casual level with all of them and no sex involved.

I think my friend is more of a 'one-person for me at a time' kind of pal.

>>I've noticed that some people that have posted say they don't date more than one person at once,then go on to say that if they do they keep it casual...what goes here?

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.
