Hi all,

I'm totally new to online dating and I wanted to kind of hash out the basics. I gather from reading the board that I should be going out after just a couple emails to see if there is a real life connection but I'm finding that I have conversations going with a couple of guys at the same time. Now they want to meet which I'm certainly interested in but is it okay to set up a meeting with one guy then another one later that week or something? Should I be assuming that they are also doing the same thing. Talking to and meeting multiple women? It seems like a lot of juggling. Or is it best to see one guy a couple times and then decide if you are going to move on before contacting another one.

I mean, its just dating right? It's for socializing, hanging out, making friends that may lead to more? Not everyone I meet is going to be something serious. Or am I committing a dating etiquette faux pas by talking to more than one person at a time. Incidentally, as I mentioned, I haven't even met these guys yet. I just don't want to get myself in a heap of trouble by misunderstanding how this works.
