Lessons You Can Learn From Serial Dating

In case you didn’t know, serial dating happens when you date multiple people at the same time. Many view this as a dating technique for a player, but it’s actually an ideal set-up for those who just want to have fun. Despite, the negative view on the technique, we can learn plenty of lessons from it.

Some Serial Dating Insights That Are Useful For Serious Relationships

When it comes to serial dating, many don’t really keep it truthful which produces a major problem. When found, those involved feel like they have been cheated on. It’s the lying that’s the problem. However, when one is truthful about dating other people and the other person is OK with it, serial dating doesn’t seem to be a big deal at all.

From this unique set-up, we can also learn a lot of dating lessons from serial dating:

1. More Fish

When you are dating multiple people, you open your eyes to different options. It makes you realize that, indeed, there’s plenty of fish in the sea. When you ended a long-term relationship, you’ll realize that it’s not the end of the road as long as you are willing to cast your line one more time.

2. Live In The Moment

Each date you have is a different experience. It teaches you to be in the moment and to enjoy every second you have with the person you’re currently seeing. In long-term relationships, it should be the same. Sometimes, you shouldn’t have to worry about tomorrow. All you need to do is appreciate the now.

3. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Yourself

Since there are plenty of options when serial dating, the dater doesn’t really have to put up a front. For example, if you date this person who doesn’t like the way you dress, then who cares? There are plenty of people who can appreciate your sense of style. Although you just have one partner in a long-term relationship, you shouldn’t change yourself to your partner’s preference.

4. Know Your Limits

It’s impossible for one person to date 100 people at the same time. Also, in serial dating, there has to be a set limit as to how far you want things to go. If you just want to have fun with one person, then that’s where the line is drawn. It’s the same when in a serious relationship. The couple has to determine boundaries like no lying, cheating or making major decisions without the other knowing.

All of these lessons you can apply when you are looking for a long-term relationship. If you want to try serial dating out, remember that you have to be truthful to your dates about being open to other people. For more dating and relationship tips, read other posts on the blog.
