Double Duty
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you think double booking dates is tacky, what do you feel about a full fledged relationship with two people? I hesitate to call it a new dating trend, but sharing a mate with another person happens more often then we think.
The idea is that when you get tired of juggling multiple dates, you narrow it down to two great people. I know, some of us are lucky to meet one that doesn’t drive us nuts after ten minutes! So what is so appealing about sharing a man or woman with another?
If you are fully informed and not being lied to, are their actual benefits from having an “open” dating relationship? Have you ever dated two people for a long period of time with full disclosure?
I am not advocating man/woman-sharing. I just wonder if single people will simply stop trying to force exclusive relationships that don’t work and turn to pulling double duty. If the needs are met for all parties involved, could it actually work for you?
Would an open dating relationship be the first step towards an open marriage?
