That's why you always tell them the truth, but not the whole truth. Never tell them that you are dating other girls.Jeffst1980 said:Ok, now here's the REALITY FACTOR:
Most girls will NOT be cool with this arrangement.
If you really like a girl and you refuse her requests for exclusivity, she will eventually look elsewhere, if she has a shred of dignity. If she finds out that you are sleeping with other girls while she has been pushing for exclusivity (and she WILL find out), she is going to resent you. This is NOT a healthy model for any relationship.
If you want to keep a girl around, you're gonna have to commit eventually. Sorry. Girls aren't cool with loaning out their boyfriends to other girls.
Monogamy is not a feminist social convention. It existed LONG before feminism. Matter of fact, it was a central concept in one of the LEAST feminist documents ever--The Bible!
There is nothing AFC about having a girlfriend. Spinning plates isn't designed to prevent you from actually having feelings for a girl--its purpose is to place you in the position of having options so you don't get involved in an LTR for the wrong reasons.
They never believe the truth anyways.
When you flake on her and she asks "where have you been?" you tell her: "I was hanging out with my other girlfriend *smile*"
She won't believe you anyways and think you were just joking.
That way you are honest with them and can sleep with a clean conscience.
Furthermore it's a bad idea to let them know about each other.
Imagine Christmas is coming up and all of them want to hang it out with you, but you can only pick one of the girls. The other ones know that and will be pissed and break up with you.
So never lie to them, but never seriously tell them you are dating other girls either.
