Do you want to get married?
I did a 3 1/2 year relationship with an amazing girl and I guess I just didn't enjoy the feeling of being tied down. I was still very attracted to and curious about other women, and I just wasn't ready for that big of a commitment.
My intentions when I start dating a woman are to date her openly, honestly, and not exclusively for as long as she's happy to maintain said relationship or something goes wrong. I've only broke up with one girl in my life, the girl in Africa, because it was heading towards train wreck. All the others have either been a result of my leaving the country or they've decided to stop seeing me. Of the girls I've dated properly (not just rando one night hook ups), I'm on good terms with all but two.
I'm still "dating", in some capacity, many of those girls. The thing is, I travel so much that most are out of the country, so I chat to them online now and then, shoot emails back and forth, w/e, but don't see them regularly.
Being around poker so long has made me seriously question monogamy's long term likelihood of success. I've seen
so many guys cheat on their GF's and wives like it's no big deal at all. I think the best thing for me is to have a GF or wife like Kat, who is my one true girl but also is realistic about it all and doesn't mind things on the side (and I'd allow her the same treatment as well.)
I def want to be married one day. One positive aspect to dating so many women is you get a really, really clear sense of what you're after and find attractive in a woman, so when I marry a girl I feel very confident she'll be perfect for me.
