As much as I love women, which is a lot, I was never any good at dating more than one at once. I can only remember once that I even tried, and it was exhausting.
With few exceptions (and most of those were in the immediate aftermath of my broken engagement in 1993), for me, dating was essentially looking for a wife. Whoever she happened to be at any given point, I dated her exclusively even when I knew she wasn’t dating me exclusively.
When I consider what dating is today, that’s one of the things I wonder about. Does anyone do that anymore, or is it just hopelessly old-fashioned in the “hookup” culture? (Incidentally, when I consider what dating is today, I’m also delighted not to be doing it.)
