Yep, growing up my mother always told my sister and I to never just "date one guy exclusively". Being young and inexperienced, we thought that her advice was surprisingly whoreish, but that wasn't her intention at all. It wasn't until I was much older that I understood what she meant by it. Dating is just getting to know someone, to see if they are a good match. It doesn't mean that you are sleeping with every Tom, Dick & Harry regardless of how others may perceive it.
