BigGuy -- you rock!

I love the maturity and respectfulness in how you are handling this!

I'm also dating multiples. I find that some can deal quite well with the information that there are others in my life, or that I'm not available because I'm on a date.

And there a couple that bristle a little about it, so I try to be respectful and not openly discuss it. I don't hide it, and I'm quite willing to discuss it, they just prefer not to know about it.

I'm one of those who like to be clear about "status". Its my expectation that there will be no assumptions about being exclusive with anyone. I let them know up front that I'm seeing other people, but if we get to a point of wanting to be exclusive we need to discuss it.

There are 3 I've been seeing long term like this (a year).
And 3 I've recently met and have/will have dates with soon.
And then there are 2 that will only be good friends but I enjoy talking to and meeting for a happy hour now and then.
