Is it a wise idea to accept someones invitation for a date, if they asked you out while fully knowing you had interest in someone else?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21685points) July 10th, 2011

What does that say about a person?

- “Before someone snaps you up, I just want you to know I’m interested”?

- “I fuck things”?

Have you ever shown interest in someone who openly talked about their interest in someone besides your self?

Are we assuming that you can’t like multiple people at the same time, and that all relationships must be monogamous from the first batting of eyelashes?

No, we are just cautious of people who are likely to cheat or not.

EDIT: Also, if you check my posts on these topics, you will see that while I was not always, I am now very conservative about relationships. This is also a thing that is openly known of me.

I am gonna go with “I fuck things”. That is what they are saying. But a lot of people say that, and lack follow through.

@poisonedantidote Cheating doesn’t have anything to do with how many people you like. If you were to be with someone who cheated, but they weren’t interested in anyone else, then you’d be fine right up until they did find someone new they did like. The issue isn’t how many people they’re interested in, it’s if they would honor a promise to be monogamous in the ways the two of you had previously agreed upon.

@Aethelflaed Makes sense… This question could maybe be a bit of pointless fluff come to think of it. I’m not all with it at the moment. The lights are on, people are home, but at the moment we are fighting over who is going to answer the door.

I think there is a huge disconnect between what people say and what they do. Some people come off as promiscuous or the cheating type by what they say, but their behaviors are completely opposite. I’m speaking as someone who has friends who seem very out there, but are actually much more conservative in their actions.
