Not really - you learn how to deal with that specific person and problems. That person is unique and the problems may also be unique to that relationship. With diversity comes an increased level of knowledge and more opportunities to learn. By being exclusive you also cannot directly compare and contrast - seeing similarities and differences - in real time. You can also ask "why" more effectively - as in "why would a girl do this" to another girl and not seem threatening since it is not something she herself did.
Let us turn our attention now to issues known as "entitlement/ownership". If you are exclusive from the start - it is much more likely that you will come up against 'dates' who feel that you have to account for every minute of your time to her, be at her beck and call 24/7/365, and so on. You are also much more likely to confuse her jealousy with devotion when jealousy is only a need to control and to own - a cover for poor self-esteem. But in the heady days of infatuation - you, by being exclusive - are more likely to feed into this sort of situation than if you had NOT been exclusive from the outset.
