Robx, it makes sense that if you go into dating with the mindset of just having fun, not looking for something serious, AND you date multiple people then you can avoid getting too attached to someone.
Haha- I never have fallen in love with someone on the first date! But back in my dating days (not that long ago- 2002-04) I dated a bunch of guys, felt good, wasn't looking for anything all that serious, yet there would always be one or two that I would want to get to know better. And that I would see potential for a relationship with. This is after a few dates...and phone calls...but I wanted to be in a relationship eventually so maybe that is the difference. If you don't want to be in one, then I guess you don't allow for the frequent correspondence and you make sure you don't see them too often, right?
Now my other question- what women are you going after? Do you purposely avoid women that you think have qualities you like/want in a long term relationship?
BTW I am thinking about internet dating- you get to read their profile first so there are ways to see if the person shares common interests etc.
