Article: Dating two or more people can reap a variety of benefits for both you and your potential romantic partners.  Interacting with more people at the same time may speed up the process of finding the right person. Dating two people allows you to compare and contrast individuals and personalities. You may learn important lessons about your own personality and preferences. You will hone your first-date skills and may boost your self-confidence. The more you experiment with dating, the more you may find you can move past your own nerves and take an analytical approach about whether your date is a good fit for you. (At least, not yet!) Honesty allows you both to thoughtfully evaluate your suitability for each other. You may find, too, that this has the attractive side benefit of arousing your dates' competitive instincts. Don't rush into a relationship you'll later regret. If you've taken the opportunity non-exclusive dating provides to learn more about your self, your preferences, and your priorities, you'll make better decisions when you do decide it's time for a more serious relationship.
