The last man I had 2 dates with told me he was not dating anyone else but is wanting to until he finds his partner but is still happy to see me while he dates other women in case we/they don’t work out.

I understand that we were not exclusive and had only 2 dates, but that still hurt.

I always thought when you meet someone you like you are in your honeymoon period and you just wanted them. I thought the early days of dating was the most exciting as you are still discovering each other.

Is this what 2026 dating is? You date multiple people at the same time until you choose one and they choose you back?

All I want is one man to choose me and I them, I don’t want to date the whole soccer team.
