What are the challenges when dating more than one man?

And I mean [i]officially[/i] dating, not that cheating crap. I'm mostly interested in the answers of women who have been there. Do you call yourself polyamorous or polyandric? Was it a conscious decision to be with more than one guy?

I know you asked for women, but didn't see anyone responding, and uhh, that's just called "dating non-exclusively". And I kinda thought that's the default in this age, though it's not necessarily easy (or required/for everyone): http://thoughtcatalog.com/h-l-miller/2015/02/the-pros-and-cons-of-nonexclusive-dating/ Rather focus on just one myself, but I can see how it can sometimes happen by "accident" when you're not committed yet. Never to be done in spite, revenge or jealousy ploy of course. (Well, if you're a nice person that is!)
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

The challenge is when their football teams are playing at the same time. Which channel do you watch?
Ha, that could be a problem indeed. ;)

Get two TVs. Watch both. :-)

Unmute the sound on the most interesting screen.

So, reading the other responses, so not so much dating as being in a committed relationship with multiple people? Yeah, that goes as polyamory usually. Tried it, didn't end well. I don't think human society is built to handle it, and haven't really heard of it working for anyone. But, to each their own... there's lots of guides on the Internet too which might be better than asking random people's opinion, though as said those guides don't actually work ;) Also, have you thought how you'd feel about allowing the same to the guys as well?
@Faust76: Not a committed relationship in the usual sense. Let's maybe call it affairs. I basically mean engaging in acts that occurr naturally - no matter if I'm in love with someone else. And being able to be open about it.

Openness and transparency with consent of everyone is a good idea. You can pick the right level of privacy for what you do with whom.

Yes, my non-monogamy is very much a conscious decision.
Yeah. Yout either have the guts to communicate everything that's on your mind or let it be.

I feel very old mentally and can communicate about my emotions. Not everyone can and it's a sticking point for the others from time to time.

Really and how does that work does the guys know about the other and the situation
Exmemper · 51-55, M
Well good luck no matter what happens I hope it works out OK
@Exmemper: Thank you :)
