They aren't cars, they're human beings. You don't window shop and kick the tires to see which one you want to take for a test drive.Sure you can, and it's quite common in the dating scene. Just be upfront about being non-committal (or don't make any promises, at least).

That's really the big thing. Give people the chance to voice their displeasure or dip out if they're unhappy with you talking to more than one prospective partner. Transparency is important at any stage of a relationship. It's important that everyone knows what's going on so they can make informed decisions about how much they want to commit.
My girlfriend of nearly 25 years has continued to stay with me in spite of one of our first dates involving me emphatically pointing out that I was never, ever going to get married.
Of course, considering one of our first dates also had her voicing her opinion that "Babies are like alien parasites that grow inside of you, no thanks", we've fortunately been on the same page when it comes to relationship stuff from fairly early on.
But with someone else, who viewed marriage and kids to be a huge part of their ideal future plans, it wouldn't have been a very appealing option. And it would have been unfair to everyone involved to just string each other along for months (or years) in the hopes of convincing the other person to eventually change their mind. Or eventually coercing them into changing their mind via threats or emotional blackmail.
If two people have radically different ideas of what they want a relationship to be, it's much better to try and discuss that in advance rather than just wait until it turns into a huge fight/breakup over it.

This s*** is why I don't get my ex. I spent 6 years telling him I didn't want kids. From the day we met. Then we broke up mainly due to his displeasure because he wants kids. Why did you waste so much of your prime parenting years??? Make sense.
Why are you interested in women who are completely neutral?

Ask them to say "unionized."
Maybe when still in early parts and blind dating and no actual feelings being involved yet. If feelings are already involved, it is just sleazy.Depends. If you are upfront about it being casual/unknown, and someone catches feelings later, that can't be your fault. Or at least not if you address it again and go from there.
But they found out that I am taking one of them on a date.I'm not seeing the strategy here. Do they want more dates? Or do they want to spend less time with you by equally distributing it?
I haven't taken any of them out on dates.yeah but you're supposed to be open and honest about it
But they found out that I am taking one of them on a date.
Now they're upset.
Can't a guy talk to multiple people at once and see which one he likes the most??
