[quote=Anonymous]F here, dating a little over a year after a long marriage and divorce. Initially I was looking for a long term partner, but after some time on the apps I realized that dating on its own brings me a lot of joy and self-reflection of what I'm looking for in a relationship. I don't sleep around (didn't really date in my 20s before I got married). But I enjoy company of different men and won't pass on offers of dates with those I'm really attracted to, even if I'm sleeping with someone else already.

There is someone touching base if I'm seeing others, and I told him yes I do date others, too. He has a younger child, it will be separate households situation for a while.  I see no point in stopping seeing others, since co-habilitation is not in the cards. I don't want to commit to anything if we are not really partners in day to day life. I feel like I owe it to myself to meet different people, enjoy the sex and social aspects of dating, and eventually meet someone who can offer me a real partnership.

We haven't slept yet, and I do want to try. In practical terms, I would spend some weekends with him and some with others (non-sexually but I don't want to stop going out socially with others or remove profile from the apps).

Shall I tell this about my dating intentions with him upfront and honestly, or since he's not pressuring too much on exclusivity and we are not there, to hold on this conversation until after? [/quote]
