Some females say they can only ever "get to know"/date/court one guy at a time. His name becomes future husband (potentially), others just sing up for the season and start getting to know people and cull them as they go.
I don't know if one has more merit than the other and if one is wiser than the other.
It's a shame you can't pencil them into a schedule.

Doesn't work that way. I guess it depends. Some of us are one-track minds so we can't juggle talking to multiples at the same time. It's a little too heavy on the conscience. Is it bad to demand exclusivity in words and deeds?

To each his own I guess. I'm just very cautious in general and very calculated. If I was to actually be in a relationship again I would realize that you can't simply take or make demands, that reciprocity and conflict mediation are essential. It's actually possible to bridge an impasse without running away, if one decides to work through it. However the ego tends to get in the way of that.
