Free Market Love

is to date a minimum of three people at all times.

1. Your main squeeze. Your most promising prospect. The person (relatively) you feel that you are most likely to be compatible with on an emotional level. You don't sleep with this person ,but rather go on as many dates as possible as you weigh in on your compatability levels w/o the messiness of being sexually attached. Now I'm not moralist here but the sex is always a good reason to forgive someone's faults. You want time to check everything out


2. Your jump off. This person has been thoroughly vetted and there is no way that you would EVER, EVER , want to be in a relationship with this person, however you do respect and like each other and you enjoy the occasional romp. You don't treat this person like crap, you're nice to each other, you're open , your honest, just not compatible. And most importantly your safe. Because your itch is scratched you don't seem wanton or desperate with person number 1.

3. The new person. You should go out on a date with a new person as often as possible to see what's out there. If you're only seeing one person, then no matter WHAT you tell yourself, he's your boyfriend. All of your attention is on him. This also means that all the pressure and the stress is on him. Suddenly if he hasn't called in a day its a HUUUUGE deal.Borrowing from the ideals of a free market, things have a tendency of working themselves out and moving at their natural pace as opposed to pitting your hopes and dreams on every guy you go out on a date with (ladies you know you do this) You don't have to fake being easy, breezy and hard to get b/c well....you just are. You're moving about and if someone wants you to settle, he'd better give you a reason to.
