Would it be really wrong to 'date' more than 1 man at a time?

Men are like buses, I swear!!

I am currently seeing a friend. A F*ck buddy if you will but it's with the thought of if things go well with us in the 6 months before he goes to Thailand then we may become a bit more serious when he comes home.
We are great friends, get on really well, our kids get on great and the sex is fantastic!!

But I have some interest from 2 other blokes.
We have been chatting online and both have expressed an interest in meeting up in RL.
I have no intention of sleeping with either of these guys as I don't know them but having been single for years has kind of put me out of touch with what's acceptable!

Could I/ Should I 'date' these other guys while still sleep with my friend or should I stick to one guy at a time?

Life sure can confuse you at times!

Of course date others! What's wrong with gewtting to know a few men at a time? As you said, they are like busses...

I have had more than one lover in my life before, until quite recently actually. It was just sex at the end of the day and as long as you're honest and open (and careful) then it's not wrong.

Having a f*ck buddy shouldn't stop you getting to know other men, after all one of them may turn out to be the 'one'

Thanks for that!
I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else.
They all know about each other so there would be no secrets.

Hell, men have been doing this sort of things for years. (wildy generalizes/stereotypes)

GO FOR IT

If your only dating you can see as many men as you like.
Just be "careful" if you know what I mean

Yes, you should date others. Why not?

I've been in this situation and found it a bit much for me but if you are comfortable with the idea then go for it!

Thanks Sanctuary. I'm always 'careful'.
I have Ds and I don't feel the urge for anymore.

JAH- I have already been honest. They all know I am single but have others interested IYKWIM.

Friend/F*ck buddy is usually here when I am chatting online and the others know I am sleeping with him.
