It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

What's the definition of cheating?

A friend of mine and I argue about this all of the time. She believes that a person can only date a single person at a time.

I believe that a person can date several people at the same time if he/she has made no committment, promises, or mislead the people he is dating. So, unless there is some type of understanding/agreement between the two parties that two are "exclusive", cheating isn't possible. Cheating is going outside of the relationship both emotionally and physically. But if there's no agreement/understanding, then no relationship exist.

Of course I am not so deluded as to think that just emails constitutes an exclusive relationship. However, online sites such as eharmony makes it so easy to find a relationship that I wonder if it also makes it easier for people to cheat. Sure, one can see 7 beautiful faces everyday, but not all those beautiful faces are available for dating or looking for dates. On eharmony.com, those 7 matches are there for dates. There is a difference.

Then by the same logic, you are being exposed to at least the same number of matches. And as a woman, you get asked out and hit on constantly. So that means you more likely to cheat too...right?
Not trying to be condensending. Just trying to illustrate that if you're not susceptible to this, you should assume the men you match with aren't either unless they give you some reasons that they are. The fact that you met then online isn't a factor that makes them more likely to be cheaters...any more than it makes you a cheater.

Do you mean date more than one person at a time and not tell the people they're dating that they are doing so? I'm not entirely sure myself if that is cheating, while i'd like to think they'd tell me we're not being exclusive so i know where i am with them, i could also see their point if they thought it was none of my business until the relationship had got to the point where we wanted to be exclusive, or they wanted to be exclusive with someone else.
