I think a lot of girls "date" a few guys and have them as followed in their phones: Free food guy Free coffee guy Free ride guy Etc, huehuehue xD I guess dating to date is fun when you're still new to it all, but it'll get tiresome after awhile and you'll just want to get to know one person, as opposed to 5. But if things are easy going and casual as they seem to be in your case, have some fun.

Sooooo... You want to have multiple people serenading you. It's really only a one or the other type of thing here. Or... Op just wants a no strings attached three+ some. Meh... Fuck away, they're your holes to do with as you please, in this context. The same concept applies, jealousy can and often does arise, but you just need to have a mature mutual understanding. If this is still misunderstanding your context, you really need to learn how to word things better.

@Gurren I know that person you just described... I used to date her. I unfortunately was her free video game guy. She had a half dozen free food guys. And 3 free ride guys. And who ever happened to be at the food court in the mall that day was her free cookie guy. She worked her cuteness well. And no... there was no sex involved. She just had a cute face and a silver tongue.

I think this is what Yaasshat is trying to say. http://a.nime.me/0089/2417/ps_0666w_cooking_family.jpg

Nah... She wants to have her cake and eat it too. But, thats still having multiple people serenading you, not matter how you look at it. That and, in Wesley's context, you'd just be a player who's looking to be taken care of at the expense of stringing along people.

Yeah I don't think there's any misunderstanding on my part. An open relationship is exactly what I'm criticizing, and an open relationship with 5 guys no less.

Call me old fashioned but I'm not into the whole multiple partners or open relationship thing. When I want to be with someone I will do and give all I can for that relationship and I expect my partner to do the same. Now if they were just sex friends or something that isn't serious then that is a different story but a genuine and solid relationship can not be done when you are thinking about other people.

Usually and preferably one, but we have the term polyamorous for a reason. Historically, this was usually only common in royalty and nobility in countries east or south of Europe (Christianity ruined it for Europe).
