[quote=Anonymous]I agree that as many as you have time for, can keep straight and want to date, is the right amount.  If one of them asked you if you were going on dates with someone else, would you give an honest answer?

I have dated several men at the same time -- dated as in, gone out on a couple or three dates, agreed to another, but not having sex with them and did not agree to exclusivity.  I assumed that most of them were doing the same thing.  Dating means, going out on dates (not relationships, to me).  Unlike you, OP, my free time is very limited.  It would be a turn off to someone who really wanted lots of time and wanted that immediately.  I also had no doubt that some of these guys wanted to go out several nights a week (and that wasn't going to be with me).

As with another PP, when I met my BF, the situation resolved itself in time.  He did not give me a hard time b/c of my schedule and he took the time to get to know me.  I think that is what the dating process is for -- figuring out if this person is a good match for you.  I have never carried on multiple romantic relationships -- I have not found myself feeling that way towards more than one person at a time.  I'm sure some people can.

Dating is the process that leads you to "the one."  It sounds like you should keep your options open, as you suggest.  Don't write one of them off if you think there is potential.  The busy guy may be less busy in a month.  If your timing is off just by that much, you may miss out on him just b/c other guy is persistent and available.
