I hate this small-minded mentality that you can't 'see' different people at the same time. That's what dating is all about; I hate this forced rule of being relegated to one person even when it's not that serious.

My advice to the OP - buck the trend, and date as many women as possible. Once you're ready to commit to one, then you do what you gotta do. Until that point, go out and have fun. People rarely 'date' anymore, so be one of the first to bring it back. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I agree that you can go out and date. I disagree that one of the women that you can be dating is someone that you were formerly in a serious relationship with.

Here's the thing: women are different than men. Which sucks, 'cuz it'd be a lot easier to date men, but men are ugly, so yeah, anyway, I digress... women are different then men. Most (most) women don't want to just date. They'll say they do, but if you go out with them more than a half-dozen times, they're thinking commitment. Bank on it. Women date to evaluate you against their criteria and determine if you are a worthy sperm donor. A chick that you were with for three years and knows what sounds come out of the bathroom when you're taking your morning constitutional? Dude, she ain't gonna just date you. Does not matter if that's what you want. At all.
