I think it's potential dates or how many people you're speaking to, irons in the fire so to speak.

I could also be entirely wrong 😅

A long time ago it meant a gay man. Rhyming slang. I doubt that is it though

Can you give the context or how it was written?

I thought this was going to be a post about a dh that didn’t actually know what an iron was.

@wiltshirelass1418 is right, it's an "iron in the fire", ie someone you're talking to/potentially dating.
