For men (women welcome to chime in!!) that do monogamous relationships/partners, how long until you stop 'dating around' and decide to exclusive pursue one woman? My (F29) mindset is that around maybe 4-5 dates I'll know if I see a future with a man/woman and a month or so in, I'll fully decide to pursue a relationship or move on.
My male friend (31) and I were talking about his dating style as he was telling me about two girls he's currently seeing. He said it's different for men – that he gives it two months before he essentially chooses which woman to truly pursue. Where we really differ was him mentioning that he essentially feels like it would be a waste to pursue someone exclusively, not work out, and feeling like he wasted time. I'm a bit more introverted with a low social battery, so I prefer to talk to just a few people max and knock them out pretty quickly if I don't see something (aka I think this inadvertently makes me more monogamous off the bat even with understanding/respecting others mindsets, but of course l've been on all sides). I'm curious if this is the norm and/or everyone's feelings on this!
