jono7: i think it's ok to talk to whomever you wish to talk to. be yourself. be authentic. if you meet someone, on line or in person, and you decide together to be exclusive, then be exclusive.
you can still talk to whomever you choose, but you might want to think about how your 'chat' effects the person you are 'in relationship' with. keep it transparent and honest.
some folks want an exclusive relationship, and some folks don't. not everyone's moral compasses are the same.
so i don't think it's as important to assign moral judgement as it is to find the match that works for you. and things are in constant change....emotions change...while both folks may choose an exclusive relationship...that can change too.
the thing about integrity...is that no one can take it from you, you have to give it away.
So you're saying that you should not put all your eggs in one basket , so to speak?

John,
If you ever "meet" someone ONLINE, they curl ya toes.....and the feeling is definitely mutual.....your best chance of survival is to take it OFFLINE....dispense with online dating sites....give yourselves the opportunity to get to know one another in real life.
We all know sites like these are the ever revolving candy store.
If you're seriously interested in pursuing a relationship, then give CS the boot...you won't need the distraction, because you'll have each other to focus on and enjoy.
If it works out, you may come back as an item(or not), or if it doesn't work, you can always return anyway.
But, temporarily, at least, you both need that time.....alone....to give yourselves more than a fighting chance.

JMO....
my problem in recent months is. That I haven't invested enough time finding a suitable partner, due to work & personal commitments I've cleared my head & feel it's time I made an effort to find that special person. If it works it works, but I've always been a gambler, both in business & personally & if it doesn't work , then it won't be through lack of trying. I have a good feeling about the coming year.
