If your bf/gf (not just someone you are dating) told you that you could still date other to see if there is a perfect one for you, what would you think?
I think that is an open relationship but some of my friends said it's fine. It can still be considerated as a monogamous one. What do you think?
In which stage of a relationship, will you stop seeing other people? After married???

so am I in an open or monogamous relationship if I keep having different dates with differnt people? I am really confused...

it's either open or monogamous. I dont think the 2 can co-exist at the same time. it's like saying i'm (legally) married but i'm still (legally )single.

Do you think there is a perfect one out there that you should keep searching? or you should put more effort in a relatioship to make it more "perfect"? Maybe we have different beliefs

The dictionary definition of monogamous is "The practice or condition of having a single sexual partner during a period of time."
So, it's possible to be in a monogamous relationship (ie only having sex with one partener) while still dating others. I'm not sure that's ideal from a successful relationship point of view, but from a definition point of view, having a monogamous relationship where you date other people is absolutely possible.

meagain: (seen it in a movie, forgot which)it said something like,"......forget about seeking mr right. look for mr right NOW and eventually the "now" will drop off n he becomes mr right."

think its "sex and the City?"

anyway, its difficult to say, everyone have its own idea on relationship, it's hard to say "accept" or "not accept"...

GL
IMHO
She (the woman in your case) is playing games. She may shag youone day, but she will never leave hubby. I think she is bored.
Catholicism and everything else is just an excuse.

I think the 'open relationship' game is a load of old bol***ks.
It just seems to me that the two people in question are 'making do' whilst someone they may prefer is just around the dating corner.
I could never use someone that way, or indeed handle someone going out on dates whilst supposedly dating me!!
Just my two pennies worth...

Granted-dictionary says monogamy is defined by the nature of sexual exclusivity.
Lets not be pedantic- since a relationship generally involves other things besides sex, I'd define your situation as an open relationship.

GL - sorry for the delay in responding...
It's not a long elaboration on what I was saying, as I thought I was quite clear...
I was just giving a personal opinion on 'open relationships'. I think they are a little false. That is, that you are getting sexual comfort from a person that obviously isn't the one and are continuing the association with them even though you are looking, and dating, with others.
I agree with Faustus that if they both consent to this way of life, then they should go for it, but I couldn't consent to this... hence the post!
