Ok so I'm not sure if I've been "dating around" but I do have many guy friends. and no they're not just circle of friend's type friends I spend quality time with them just us two doing what ever it is that we like to do.
I have had two serious relationships, one ended horrabaly, probably bc he was leading me on instead of telling me hey this is how it is up front like i told him to do many of times if for what ever reason he wanted it to end... and the last one we were growing apart and wanted diffrent things so it wasn't to hard at all...
So I'm not sure if what I've been doing with my guy friends would be concidered dating around.
Also on a side note this thread really helped me out in that I now understand what's going on in this "relationship" that I'm in with this guy right now. No it is not a boyfriend girlfriend kind of relationship. We are friends who worry about all the desies out there so we only have sex with eachother, for the time being any way... It's easier, because we both can go and spend time with who ever of the opposiet sex and not feel that sex is the issue so we can get to know who ever for them not as a sex object. It works for us for now, may not in the future, may not for someone else.
So all in all I guess my point is:
1. Is what I'm doing with my guy friends (and yes that includes some random guy that I chat up in the line at Wal*Mart, that's just an example btw) concidered dating around?
2. The reason I do get into a more steady/serious/exclusive relationship is because I felt a big something for and with that guy. If it didn't work it didn't work, back to square one. But I never and probably will never loose touch with my guy friends, We always have spent time together, and probably always will, just and only because they each have something that attracts me even if it's not romantic in any way. Me and my most recent ex are a great example of that.
3. Thanks for putting into light what I once was confused about. I am talking about my current relationship with the guy I am having sex with.
4. If I got anything wrong or mixed up I would love for you to clarify
