Double Dating!
One interesting fact about double dating is that it has been in existence for a long time; it's just that it became more pronounced in this era where it's no longer a lifestyle that the majority oppose. It's the same way the issue of divorce in marriage is becoming alarming day by day; that's how double dating is. In fact, double dating is the precursor to divorce—it gives the option of, "Let me leave since I have someone else." Gosh! The whole thought is crazy.
What's the essence of agreeing to be in a relationship when cheating or double dating is what's going to happen? Why go into a relationship just to fake seriousness? This world is messed up, big time!
As for me, this is a kind of term and condition I put on the table whenever I'm going into a relationship: it has to be defined, we have to agree to stay faithful to each other, and anytime I sense that there's a glitch, I back off quickly without forcing it. I don't know about other people, but once I see that my lady is getting too clingy or too comfortable with another guy, even if they're not having s3x, I have to step away. I'm a very jealous person, and I can't stand such a situation because things will escalate from the excessive attachment, and before you know it, they've started having affection without my knowledge.
I have experienced this, and it's a recent occurrence. Just suddenly, I started noticing the absence of this lady in communication and how she was behaving generally. Whenever I asked her what was wrong, she would try to fit back in, covering up the lapses that I was noticing, but no, she wasn’t smart enough to hide the show she was putting on—or perhaps I was just too sensitive to notice every one of her moves. When I couldn’t tolerate the situation anymore, I forced myself to call off the relationship. That was when I knew she was into someone else. She felt my decision and begged for us to work it out, but no, she broke the rule we had agreed upon from the beginning, and there was no way I was going to continue such a thing.
This trend is really making things worse in our world today; it's killing trust, which will affect many years to come if it's not corrected. Getting married will be difficult as hell.
So sorry if I'm only pointing out the ladies’ side, but this is also very applicable to guys too. In fact, it is what the ladies see guys do that makes them want to double date because, according to them, guys are not to be trusted. But generally, it’s vice versa too. Everyone wants to be on the safe side; no one wants to be taken for a fool. That’s why people double date due to insecurity issues with all the "what ifs?"
I don't double date!

Double dating is akin to polygamy and of you know like I know, the damaging effects of polygamy, you will understand why it isn't good.
I don't double date and just like you, if I find out that my man has no boundaries but he is free with every skirt in town or he is close friends with other females, I will get jealous but I won't act crazy like some ladies do. Having cat fights here and there.
The woes of double dating cannot be overemphasized at all but if we want to save out future, then it needs to be shunned in society.
This double dating thing, may God help us because what relationship world is not safe anymore. Everyone wants to play safe.
It's good that you don't double date. Our kinds are just 10 in this world
