there are a SELECT few who get it right from the get go. Those are rare cases.
Tastes evolve. That's my theory. The numbers don't mean anything, just definately more than 5 and under 30 trial and error's. Agreed? why/not?
I don't want to settle down so I'm dating a bunch before I pick. Sometimes I question it and then most times I know its the smart way. Divorce is out of the question for me. I know no one can say that but I just did. So that's why I make sure. I shop around. good idea/ waste of time?

Not true or false. You do as you like. If you think this might work for you, then go for it.
Just remember, we aren't like diamonds, you can't hold each of us up to the light to find which one is more perfect than the last. You go that route and you just might end up with one cold, hard and transparent dude.

If you are dating that many men you probably want have enough time to get to know an individual. My thing if you find a guy that satisfies your every need and hang on to him you don't have to jump into marriage. Good guys are hard to find and when you finally decide to settle down you might not be able to find a good one. It doesn't matter how soon or late love comes whenever you get it you should try to hang on to it. And if you are dating a man but still desiring to meet other men that guy might not be for you. You don't have to settle down until your ready just tell the guy in the beginning what your intentions are so he want be expecting anything deeper.

My sister dated lots of men before she married and I did not. She ended up in a divorce and I had a great marriage until he passed away from cancer after 33 years of being married. I do suggest that you date the one you marry for a good while first to be sure he is the right one for you. That is where too many people go wrong. They date for a short while and marry without really knowing the person deeply.âª

Great idea to date, bad idea to sleep with people in the process if you are not in a relationship with them. Also, I feel it's a bad idea to continue dating them if you know it won't work out.. that's a waste of time. But if you meet someone and know (without a doubt) they are the one, why continue dating other people to see if something better is out there. You may lose that person.. just a few thoughts, good luck-- he's out there somewhere probably looking for you too!

If you're young--like a teen--I think dating a lot of different people helps you discover who you are and what you want in a relationship.
If you're older but haven't dated a lot of different people, you have probably had a lot of other opportunities to discover yourself. A mature person who's comfortable with him/herself and has a good degree of self-awareness doesn't necessarily need to go through that process of elimation.
My husband, whom I met when I was 25, was my third serious boyfriend. We were together for five years before we got married.

Be careful!!
I agree that trial and error is a good way to go, but be mindful that you might find mr.Right sooner than you think!... and if you go into relationships with the mentality that there just a test subject.... it probably wont go so well!

wrong!!!
If you love in the beginning you can love for life
all marriages have to be maintained & you both have to act the same way to each other as you did in the beginning when you first started dating & never change
females not to nag & males to always listen & & let her talk
but even that can cause a problem because she should make sure he is not watching TV or doing some thing important to him
when she talks
they're just a couple of tips 4 u

I myself am now married to a guy that i had a crush on in high school. we never talked in school. we had secret crushes on each other until years after school we met up again. Although I have had more than 3 and less than 30, I think it is fine to DATE, but i think you should definately wait till marriage to give it up. it's one thing that you can hold dear to you for as long as you want. dont give it to someone who isnt worthy........thats my opinion.

I think that through dating people you find out what qualities you need in a partner so however many that takes.....
