Thanks for your comments. I was using the term 'dating' in the real world and in the generally accepted sense, where two people meet with good intentions towards each other in seeking to establish a long term romantic relationship, which may include marriage, if all goes well. I am of the opinion most people see exclusivity in dating as a requirement and the best way forward, in amongst other requirements such as you mention, honesty, and integrity.

It seems you are making the assumption that most singles are searching for a new husband, wife, or similar relationship. While this may be true for many people on Mingle2 and similar sites, not everyone has that goal. I find it very important to state that assumption early in getting acquainted with someone. It will save a lot of heartbreak and disappointment!

Thanks for your comment. I agree not everyone has a serious monogamous relationship as a goal, but going on a date I would trust them enough to have that in mind, unless they said otherwise beforehand. If that is not their goal, the question of 'exclusivity' really becomes a bit of a moot point.
