I am a serial dater.

I've lurked for a while so I thought I'd post. I expect to get shot down in flames but what the hell. I thought it may give you some insight into the male psyche ( I'm a bloke by the way).
Basically I am a serial dater. In fact as I write this I have 9 women on the go at various stages of intimacy.
Two I have slept with.
Three I have snogged and may sleep with.
Four I have just started dating but I expect at least 2/3 of those to end in sex.
Why am I doing it?
I like the attention. I like sex. And I don'tI fancy/like any of them enough to want to commit myself to.
Most I have met online.
I'm thinking of quitting this whole charade. It's exhausting. I've been as honest where I can with all these women with regards to how far I want a relationship to go with them.
One of the women who I have sex with simply wants that...sex.
Another who I am just dating I have told that I didn't want anything serious but she wants to carry on seeing me.
So there you have it.
Please form an orderly queue to stcik the boot in.

And do you mention that at all? Just so everybody is in the loop?

oleblueeyes · 05/08/2011 11:28

Yeah that'd go down well:
'Excuse me, you're not pretty enough to be my bird but would a shag be out of the question?'

Well you sound a bit like I used to be. Although I capped the number of women I used to date at four because I simply couldn't keep up. I even at one point used to text the same message to multiple women and gave them all the same nickname so I didn't accidentally call them the wrong name.

I quit the game once I met my now DP. So I can't criticise what you are doing. I guess the women will say "Hey, it's lying/cheating etc." but all's fair in love & war.

The only thing is you need to ask yourself at what point would you quit and what motivates your behaviour? For me it was simple. I wanted to have fun after a breakup with my long term partner and I had this desire to prove to myself I could attract the opposite sex. Something I'd utterly failed at in my younger days.

It is hard to quit though since you get used to the thrill of the chase but a few years into my relationship I look back with fond memories and am glad I've got the trust I have now with my partner.

Plus playing the game allowed me to pick my partner rather than falling into it as I'd previously done.

It's not cheating, IMO, but it's certainly misleading. And the g

Oh fuck it. I can't post from my phone properly.

AKissIsNotAContract · 10/08/2011 17:18

Actually OP, there is something you could provide some insight into. Do you send these ladies pictures of your cock? I've always wanted to understand the mentality of men who send cock pics on internet dating sites.

oleblueeyes · 10/08/2011 20:58

Alas I haven't done that yet. Sounds a bit too sleazy for me. I am a gentleman I'll have you know.
Is there a lot of that going about? I'm always interested in new pulling techniques

mumsamilitant · 10/08/2011 21:16

oleblueeyes · 10/08/2011 21:25

Glad to see you're checking my progress.
I reckon I'm a bit like that wotsername...the round the world rower...
I'm sailing into unchartered territory with no map ( though I think she probably has got a map and technically she's not sailing as shes rowing) in shark infested waters hoping to reach
my eventual destination.

I think you are only able to keep so many women on the line is probably because some of those women are doing the same.

thesunshinesbrightly · 11/08/2011 21:18

Checking progress - pah i think your a dick!

breaktime73 · 11/08/2011 21:30

OBE what seriously is the point? Why not just wank more and wait for a woman you really like?? honestly. It'd be cheaper as well.

mumsamilitant · 11/08/2011 21:32

Awww, now here's me, poured a nice glass of red, looking forward to this thread and niche! nothing!the man is still alive I presume ..... trundles off disappointed!

breaktime73 · 11/08/2011 21:37

he'll be off on a date no doubt, he's a busy man

mumsamilitant · 11/08/2011 22:03

lol.... what a lucky lady!

oleblueeyes · 12/08/2011 12:03

I was on a date actually. In fact, I told her that I wasn't interested in a serious relationship. We haven't had sex yet. She said she appreciated my honesty and at least she knows the score and if she wants to continue with things she'd be in touch.
Well she texted me this morning saying she'd like to meet again.
What do you make of that?

Breaking news! Adult woman makes informed decision!

Kallista · 12/08/2011 18:53

OBE - If you like the 'text back' lady then date her again..but just be careful - she may be thinking 'aha! A challenge!' & that is why she's suddenly keen...
Then you'll be 'old married blue eyes' before you know it! ;)

breaktime73 · 14/08/2011 12:11

good on you OBE ;)
