Recently, our daughter (17 in June) told my wife and me that she has started dating not 1, but 2 guys. No introductions needed since we already know them; they’ve been close friends of hers for quite some time now. Daughter put it as: why do I have to choose if I like them both and they don’t mind sharing?

I just don’t like it.

    Seriously, look what tinder and bumble did to us 10 years ago. After my divorce I dated multiple women, sometimes at the same time, I was rediscovering myself. It’s normal, as long as you’re not taking advantage of someone else.

      Exactly. Dating apps just digitally what people used to do in meat space. Casual dating has always been common and there has always been a point that it becomes “Exclusive” or monogamous.

      Its better and healthy than being serial monogamy where you jump from serious commitment to serious commitment.
