1. Realize It's Not Exclusive

The first and foremost rule that you should follow when you are dating two guys at once is that it should not be exclusive with either guy. You never want to promise one guy that you are going to be faithful to him, while you are dating another guy. Trust me ladies, it could end bad if you don't just admit that it is not exclusive, that you are just having fun!

  • Honestly, as long as you're open and honest with everyone involved, it's your choice! Just make sure you're not leading anyone on or hiding things.

  • Communication is key. Be clear about where you stand with both guys. If you’re unsure about exclusive relationships, let them know. It’s all about mutual respect.

  • Yikes, that can be tricky! If they find out, be ready to explain why you’ve been seeing both of them. Honesty is the best policy to avoid unnecessary drama.

  • Planning and being organized can really help. Use a calendar or notes app to keep dates and plans sorted. Just make sure you’re balancing your time well.

  • It can! Sometimes, dating multiple people can help you understand what you truly want. Just be prepared for it to naturally progress with one of them, or neither.

2. Be Honest and up Front

Always, always, always ladies be honest and up front. You are just dating right? No need to lie about the fact that you are dating two guys at once! After all, you have to figure out which one you like the best and which one you actually want to start a relationship with!

8. Be Ready to Choose

Finally, the last tip that we are going to explore when you are dating two guys at once is you have to be ready to choose between the two of them. You can't very well keep dating both of them if you do happen to have more feelings for one.

***

Dating two guys at once can be a tricky situation to navigate, and it can also be a lot of fun. It can be a great way to explore your options and find out what you really want in a partner. However, it's important to remember that you have to be honest with both guys and yourself throughout the process.

When you're dating two guys at once, make sure to keep communication open and be clear about your intentions. You should also be sure to set boundaries and be honest with each of them about what you're looking for. Be sure to be respectful of their feelings and take things slow.

It's also important to remember that you have to be prepared to make a decision at some point. While it's fine to explore your options, you shouldn't string either of them along if you know that you're not interested in either of them. Be honest with yourself and with them and be ready to choose between the two of them if you have stronger feelings for one.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Once when I was young I had a "harem." Five guys who all knew about each other and were fine with just having fun. I learned a lot about guys in general and about myself and eventually when I found myself falling in love I broke it off with the other four and ended up getting married. I never mislead anyone or kicked anybody to the curb and have no regrets, and we're all still friends.

Heather, with all due respect, I believe this just isn't right. I would hate to cause trouble and I enjoying reading your other posts but this? Just as Lau said, if a guy did this, the girl would be crushed. Why play around with two guys when you could have something wonderful and real with one? I truly believe something so controversial should not be supported on a website with teenagers (like me) and people of young ages. This may be the 21st century but there are such things as right and wrong no?

its going great! my first one works out of town so i dont get t see him very often, and we made an agreement that he can do what he wants when hes on the road, and i can do what i want, so we both have a second partner. i care for them both very much and they both care for me, they know about eachother and there are no secrets between us. its not a double standard because we are both doing it, no one is getting hurt and theres no tention, so wheres the harm? i dont see it and neither do they, its a mutual decision between 3 adults. but reguardless, it cant work for people who arent willing to let it work, or for people who get jelous easily, but if you can, try it, whats the worst that could happen, everything that happens in life is a learning expierence

The guy on the left looks like Obama.

I didn't know people actually did this. I don't think I would be able to trust someone if they couldn't devote a few weeks into making a decision as to whether or not to be "exclusive."
