[QUOTE=ami_r90;906148 OK so you have seriously got me thinking now, but the one thing I'd find a bit weird would be, for example, putting a post out there (or a profile or whatever), having a number of replies and then striking up conversation with lots of people (potential partners) at once. With each person there'd be the unspoken implication that it could go further since that was the nature from which contact started. Could that pose a problem later on? Ideas? Thank you :-)[/QUOTE]

I do not see why. You have not promised anybody anything at that stage.

If you do start to get serious with someone though, you should be honest about whether you are seeing or talking to others.
