Stuck on Repeats

Obviously my social scene is less imaginative than most, but doesn't this eventually devolve into two people with whom you're doing sex, only one of whom is used as a companion for all world-facing purposes?

NTTAWWT, of course, but I don't see the practicality of being a couple for social purposes with any more than one person at a time. Or am I being fusty and now everybody gets +2 wedding invitations?

One might have more than one social circle. For example, I have "dated" lawyers and alt/rave/druggie/hipsters at the same time.

As do I, if this one counts. But suffice it to say, most of the ones I deal with IRL regard the time in one's life that one sexes up more than one person at a time as an evolutionary stage in a process of personal growth that ends in lifelong stable monogamy at best and serial monogamy at worst. All other modalities are considered immature and self-indulgent, and are viewed with a combination of open tut-tutting and unexpressed envy. No offense.

I'm in 3 social circles- work people- friends- neighbors- that are mostly all married people. I prolly couldn't bring a date to one of the events with them. But there are divorced people who mix things up. Shit one guy just got divorced for the third time. I hope he doesn't settle down again, that would be immature.

Translation: My monagamish friends do not open up with me.

You need to let me take you out and meet some IRL people who don't use the word modality.

I'm sure you have, but I think ncs was talking about dating two completely different people.
