So, what do you do when you're currently in a relationship with someone you could see yourself marrying, but you're 21 and want to date around a bit before settling down? Do you just stay with the same person? Do you ask for "a break" and hope he'll take you back after you've run around? Do you just cheat and hope he doesn't find out

The great Chad Money once said, "Raccoons mate for life; humans live too long." Homo sapienses have a sufficiently high lifespan to attention span ratio, or LASR, that should they want to practice monogamy, they're going to have to work at it. This, of course, is fine, and while I oppose the principle I will defend to the death your right to marry. (Not really.)

So the answer to your final question is no. I've been in love eight times, and the eyes don't always follow the heart. As for your three options, the first would stifle you and probably make you resentful in the long run. The third is hot, but damaging to the relationship (whether he finds out or not) and, if you're that much into this guy, not worth the risk. So I think the second option is the best one, although my recommendation is to discuss an open relationship.

On an unrelated note, I just thought I'd mention that I spend far too freely and am infatuated by the female orgasm.

Also, I think I'm forgetting how difficult it is to meet single guys who want to date around with you.

Move to Mexico and hit up the dance clubs. With your red hair, you'll have to beat them off with a stick.

And diddo on the open relationship.
