Hi,


I am dating two men right now, cause I refuse to put my eggs all in one basket while dating.

I think if a man wants to be exclusive, then he will bring up the subject...


I also think you should spend time with whom you want to spend time with... and until one of them asks about exclusivity, then it's there loss if you find yourself someone else to date... yes, i agree, go with your gut...


I also agree that once you've been intimate, then it is YOUR RIGHT to know if he's seeing others or sleeping with others. and you should flat out ask "are you sleeping with anyone else."..... You deserve to know!!!


But no, i don't think men pick single moms because they want every other weekend free from you... there are many reason to pick a single mom... she's caring, she's responsible, she prioritizes, she thinks of someone other than herself... and when we chose to go out with someone.. he should know that our time is special.


Hope things work out with the one you like best... how long have you been dating... what is the story with two guys.. how about sharing some details....


And welcome to the board,


Love,

"My issue is this, do you think men date single moms, so that the weekends we have our children they can go ahead and date other woman?

Hey here is a slight update.. the man that I have only been dating for about a month or so.. called me today and was very open with me with what happened to him today.. he broke out in a rash from his waste up.. and wasn't sure what to do... men are so cute when helpless..LOL.. anyway I got him to describe the rash to me, and I even asked a personal question if the rash was on his private area...LOL.. I felt weird asking him that.. but was trying to help him.
