my very own mini version of "The Bachelorette"? Opinions?

in Chit-Chat
So, this is a new one for me... not sure how to approach it.

At the prompting of my sister-in-law, I put up a profile on Plenty of Fish (figured, who knows, right?) a few days ago.

Totally floored by the response I'm getting... I have 5 seemingly good guys that all seem genuinely interested in getting to know me :O

So now, I'm not sure how to approach this... are people generally aware that people on these websites are likely messaging multiple people? Or should I pick a favourite and see where it goes?

I am very, very new to this, and am asking this question seriously... I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

    Lol. Of course you can talk to all of them. Are you seriously thinking of making an exclusive commitment to a random guy you've never met?

    I've never dated online.. but I would treat it the same as I would as meeting guys at bars and such, (back in my single days). Unless I was in a relationship with a guy, I would keep my options open. Nothing wrong with dating around and talking to a few at once. The odds of clicking, or feeling a connection with all 5 are very low, so I wouldn't feel that it's required for you to pick one and ignore the other four. Until you have the talk of becoming exclusive.. enjoy yourself.

    You are not committed to anyone. Date away! Chances are 99.9% of them won't go past the first date, anyway -- if they even get that far!

    Odds are they are asking out 10 other women while they are talking to you. Remember that when they try and sleep with you.

    2 more and you'll have a full weeks worth.

    Thanks for the responses... you all have confirmed what I was already thinking :)

    Just being overly cautious, I suppose, since I've never been in this situation before...
