If you're dating (hypothetically if you're not dating currently), and start seeing someone you'd like to pursue a relationship with, do you stop dating others, or wait until its official?

I've never serial dated to begin with. I tend to do it the same way as manuscript publishing - wait until there's a response before submitting to another humiliation.

When I'm with someone, I'm with them ONLY.

I'm one huge pile of confusion. I haven't even dated in forever. I might date other people, depending on the situation. I am usually monogamous, but if I decide that I can get different experiences with different people, I will date polyamorously.

This is assuming you haven't established an exclusive relationship yet.

I am usually in a monogamous relationship, but have done poly before. It depends on what the other person wants. I am open to both, so if my partner at that moment, didn't want to share than I am monogamous.

I like to date just one at a time because I look for a monogamous relationship. Dating more people gets messy.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 13 years... we're mostly monogamous (monogamish, lol)

I am monogamous by nature, so if I start dating someone, you can guarantee I'm not dating anyone else. It's funny, with my partner, he actually asked me if I would be exclusive with him about 2 months in. I laughed, and said "Sure, because I already am." LOL

If nothing is official, and they know about each other, I don't see why it would be a problem.

I am in a relationship, but before, if I ever started seeing someone often I never, ever still dated or seen others. Not right.

I think its wrong to have any thoughts of being with someone other then the person you are with, you should tell them so it wont hurt them later..
