discussion is hooking up with someone else during the talking stage cheating?

[Asscatchem]

if you only met someone youre interested in twice but see big potential to foster a relationship with but some himbo you dont want to be romantically involved with presents you with an opportunity is it cheating?

[Bhabylon]

Nah you’re not official yet, go get your cheeks clapped

[Pendulum]

Um unless we VERBALLY agree that we're official, I'm free to **** with whoever I want and he is as well.

 

I'm annoyed at people who conflate dating with FWBs or situationships. 

 

[Trent W]

Nope

 

Until you don’t have that conversation you are nothing more than people who know each other

i mean i think he's really cute and i secretly caught him having me pinned on his whatsapp ajdkslf;

weve been texting long distance (surprisingly) for months and it may be official in like 2 more dates

[GraceRandolph]

Let’s be honest. If you have to ask the question it’s cheating. 

[Karla Cabello]

no

[LustSpell]

**** no  

[dumbsparce]

It's not cheating but if it happened to you and you found out, it would still hurt your feelings, no?

[Blade Runner]

[Finite]

Well ATRL user Asscatchem, no

Unless there has been a verbal commitment, or you two are official, then no! Just practice safe sex! But at least you’re asking, that shows you have a conscience and that is refreshing on ATRL.

might as well be a yes then 

[SimpleKindofLife]

This is a great question tbh. If you’ve established with the person that you’re talking to that you’re interested in dating eventually then why do you feel the need to hook up with other people? It’s not cheating but it sets the precedent that maybe you’re not ready to be fully committed to someone, and there’s nothing wrong with that of course.

[POPTART]

I wouldn't say it's cheating as you're still not official. But are you really into that person if you're already thinking about someone else, especially in that phase when it's suppose to be all new and exciting? 

[Cain]

Uhm no? Tf

[May]

in the technical sense it’s not cheating

 

however in the cultural sense, I just speak in future tense
Judas, kiss me if offensed, or wear ear condom next time

 

[Gorjesspazze9]

If your not in a relationship with someone, then your not in a relationship. 

[Uncatena]

i don’t think so no, but i think the other person would be valid in being disappointed and not pursue the relationship further

i dont even know if he's a top or a bottom

but tbh i dont really care, his face is super cute, were both athletic (he's in a team sport), and he's really bright and smart and convos are somewhat stimulating

[mrpartyrocker]

If you’ve established you want to be exclusive while dating, then yea, it’s bad. If not… well I guess it depends on the person. If you’re too horny and can’t keep it in your pants more than 5 minutes, then you do you babe. But I’d assume you have sex as well if you’re dating and if it was that good, it wouldn’t make you want someone else… 

[Alldeezy]

no .. If it's not official.  

 

though I got caught out when I was crashing at my ex's place while I talking with my crush .. but to be fair we haven't even kissed yet so he shouldn't even gotten mad about it.

[WitnessOblivia]

It's not cheating, but I do think it might damage your future relationship. I personally wouldn't do it.
