Dating mistake you should avoid during dating

Dating mistake you should avoid during dating
Published 2 years ago on Mar 05, 2023

Here I was plodding though life thinking everyone was aware of the one big change in the dating game that's not often spoken about but very widely accepted.

So imagine my surprise when I'm out to dinner with my family for my mum's birthday and she looks shocked, appalled and slightly horrified as my brothers and I were discussing it very casually.

Now full disclosure, having brought up a daughter who now writes a sometimes-raunchy dating column, it takes a lot to shock my mum (even if she swears black and blue she know longer reads my column because it's 'too honest').

But here we were at dinner and she looked like we had announced something preposterous.

What we were talking about was a dilemma one of our friends was dealing with.

Having divorced a year ago, he had jumped enthusiastically on the apps and was dating up a storm. 

We're talking three dates a week, minimum.

But recently he's discovered he now really fancies one of the women he's been casually dating and was wondering how to break it to the others. He wanted to let them know he could no longer see them, because he's decided to get serious with this lucky lady and wanted to know if it was ok to do it via text or if he should he call them.

Now, the shocking thing about this scenario wasn't the whole text or call dilemma, although side note: I would say text always trumps a phone call (especially if it's just casual). It's just far less awkward.

No, no, that wasn't the thing that perplexed my mum, it was that he was dating multiple women at once. Umm… yes… everyone is.

 

Jana Hocking: Why dating multiple people at once is a marvellous idea

1. You get to trial who you have the best chemistry with

2. It's a numbers game! Just because your heart may flutter for someone doesn't mean they feel the same. So why not throw yourself into many dates and find your perfect match

3. You're less likely to settle. You know the feeling, you're ready to shack up, perhaps the months are turning colder and you'll take anyone to snuggle with at night. Nope, options mean you don't just settle for any Tom, Dick or Harry

4. You don't focus on just one poor sucker, pouring all your energy into turning them into your dream partner. You've got many distractions to keep you from getting a little over eager and thirsty. No waiting by the phone for their next text, you're busy
