Is it normal to talk to multiple girls at once?
Depends.It depends
Yes, it’s common to get to know more than one person at a time, especially early on. The key is not implying you’re exclusive if you aren’t, and being clear when expectations come up.
If you’re just chatting or going on early dates, talking to multiple people is pretty normal. You’re getting to know people, not automatically signing an exclusivity contract after a few messages.
Where it gets messy is when someone reasonably thinks you’re exclusive, or you’ve said or implied they’re the only one. People have different expectations, so a straightforward conversation is better than trying to guess. You don’t have to give a running roster, but don’t mislead anyone.
