Ladies, juggling more than one date at a time is not a good idea. You’ve heard the saying, “One day at a time.” How about one dude at a time! For starters, getting to know one potential suitor can be quite complicated, let alone two or three all at once.

Your already overbooked schedule + the consequence of back-to-back nights on the town = quite the exhausting undertaking.

Eventually, you will end up calling one of them by another name or sending a text to the wrong guy, thanking him for a good time last night. Plus, when you date multiple men at the same time, you short-circuit the natural dating process. Focusing your full attention on the man sitting across the table from you on date number five is next to impossible when you’re feeling anxious about a date you have tomorrow or are confused about something that happened with another guy last night.

Wrestling with conflicting feelings about what appears to be several fantastic boyfriend options will only leave you feeling scattered and frustrated. Keep in mind that sooner or later, you will have to make a choice. You won’t be able to continue dating several guys forever, so you will eventually have to hurt someone who sincerely likes you. Don’t be that girl. Take it slow…one date at a time.
