Ladies, there is absolutely no shame in diversifying your dating portfolio. In fact, it’s highly encouraged to put your eggs into lots of different baskets while you’re a free agent, as long as you can do it without being a total dick. There is an art to dating multiple guys at once while keeping your dating karma intact. After the jump, what is acceptable and unacceptable while juggling multiple men.
| Going on dates with multiple guys but having the class not to bring it up your “dating spree” as a topic of dinner conversation. | Telling your date about all the other men who emailed you on OK Cupid. |
| Tonsil hockey or light making out (rounding second base) with as many men as you please. Staving off sex with all of ‘em — until you figure out which one you like best. | Sleeping with all of them. |
| Texting or emailing multiple guys each day. | Texting or emailing other guys while you’re on a date. |
| Kindly breaking it off with other guys when things are starting to get serious with the one you’ve decided to start playing hide the salami with. | Blowing off a perfectly nice man off because you’re catching feelings for someone else. |
| Dating dudes that don’t know each other and never will. | Dating more than one dude who lives in your neighborhood, works in your office, or is part of your circle of friends. |
| Going on more than one date in a week. | Going on more than one date in one night. |
| Graciously accepting when different men buy you dinner. | Using men for a free meal if you’re not interested. |
| Telling the truth about where you are/ who you’re with if asked, but not sharing jack if you don’t wanna. | Lying about where you are/ who you’re with in order not to get “caught.” |
| Making up code names for each guy so your friends can keep them straight. | Having your friends or family lie for you. |
| Remaining level-headed and reasonable if you discover that he is also dating other chicks. | Flying into a jealous rage if you find out he also has lots o’ ladies lined up. |
