On line dating etiquette

Ok it's the old virgin with questions again. 27 years since I last dated - things have changed.

Can you experienced ladies tell me is it acceptable to set up dates with a few people? Haven't met anyone I want to see again yet but it feels odd to be chatting to 4 men at once! (Meeting the first today, another wants to meet tomorrow!). I'm flattered to be popular of course. Was so much easier at 18...

I chatted to a few but only continued with the ones I had a connection with. And would only meet up if I had chatted to someone for a while and we seemed to hit it off.
I never dated multiple men as I found it a waste of time and effort as a single mum.
I found for me at least, I can't really get fully interested in someone if I've got others on the go. So my advice would be to chat a bit first and take it slow, but not to leave it too long to meet.

Yes I think it’s acceptable to go on first dates and even a few dates with different people. I am sure the men are doing the same. I’m meeting someone Friday and I’m scared 😂. I’ve got a few other matches a well

Perfectly acceptable to date different people but I found it confusing and came to the conclusion that I found it easier to date one at a time.
