How to Date Multiple People
Some people will always tell you that when you're single you should be going out on a date with a different person each night of the week! This may be excessive, but the reasoning behind the statement is sound: don't count on that one date you have a week being the perfect one. You need to get out there and keep trying. That's why you should date multiple people until you feel that you've found the right match.

1
Be honest. If you're dating multiple people at once, make that clear to someone who appears to be moving fast or wanting to take things further than you're presently comfortable with. Just say "I'm not looking to start anything steady with anyone just yet."

2
Avoid going to your favorite hangouts when you date multiple people. If you're dating multiple people and you keep going to your favorite spots, you're bound to see someone else you're dating, and that will be incredibly awkward (if not lead to an argument).

Make sure that the people you are dating know the boundaries. Don't lie about your feelings for the sake of sex or to protect them.

4
Let a date know as soon as it's over, and avoid leading them on. If you're dating multiple people but find that you're a good match with one, tell the others and let them continue their search gracefully.

5
Keep your family out of it when you're dating multiple people. Having your friends meet the people you date isn't bad since you can get their honest opinions and make an informed decision about the future. Just don't introduce your dates to your family, especially your parents. Under normal circumstances this sends a very powerful (and affirmative) message to your date.

Tips & Warnings
Use an online dating service to meet more singles in your area. There are several terrific, reliable online dating services and you can use multiple services to find more options than you would without any assistance.
Never give out your personal information to someone you've met online, especially prior to the first date. Ask to meet at a neutral location, somewhere in public so you can feel safe.
Don't get names mixed up! Write down the names of the people you are dating in your date book or in your organizer and refer to it prior to arriving at your date. Nothing is more of a turnoff than forgetting someone's name or saying the wrong name.
