WHAT NOT TO DO WHILE DATING MORE THAN ONE PERSON

Although there is no denying the fact that a healthy, positive and committed relationship is what humans crave and yearn for, it is common for humans to have phases in their life where they would prefer casual relationships over serious ones. While this is completely okay, it is important to note that one has to be careful while dating multiple people at the same time, as at the end of the day we are all humans and have the tendency to get emotionally attached.” shares Sybil Shiddell, Country Manager India for Gleeden - an extramarital dating app.

If you are someone who has been looking for a guide to maintaining multiple casual rela-tionships, here are 10 important things to particularly avoid while doing so.

1. Ignoring Self-awareness

The first and most important aspect before entering casual and open relationships is to have a clear idea about yourself and what it is that you really need. Are you doing this because you want to explore your options or is it a rebound from past relationships? Carrying ahead trauma from the past and using open relationships as a coping or escape mechanism for it will not end up well for anyone involved. Hence it is best to understand yourself better before stepping into any romantic dynamic and starting things only with crystal clear and honest intentions.

2. Not respecting other people and their feelings

Honesty is key in such cases. There are plenty of people who are open to the idea of dating multiple people at the same time while there are also others who would prefer to stay loyal to one person. It is unfair to not respect their choices just to satisfy yours. This is why you need to ask the right questions early on and respect their decisions.
