I have a question for all you guys and gals. When you are dating more than one person and talk to your friends about them, have you given your dates nicknames so that you don't get them confused? For example, I have gone out with and talking to three different guys recently and have given each one a nickname according to their personality/occupation or "issue" so that my friends don't get confused (needy doctor guy, newly divorced guy and sub guy). I'm Just curious and hoping for possibly entertaining responses.

I went on a blind date with a guy who asked if we could start our date with a prayer.
So my sisters and I forever called him the "Praying Mantis" (I actually dated him for a few months despite his slightly awkward and zealous religious enthusiasm )

oh yes. either a moniker or a number. e.g., boyfriend #1 and #3. then there are, for instance, the ne'er do well, the flatliner, and the physicist. now the physicist... his girlfriends i also have had to resort to monikers: the witch, the jewelry girl, etc. for a geek, he gets dates.

yes, I have 1) the old guy 2) the smart guy 3) the operator...

is this a female thing. It just makes it so much easier when you're talking with your friends to help them understand the personalities, certain features or characteristics. do men do that as well?

btw - just recently dropped the "smart guy" so guess I should take him off my list .

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does this. I would be interested to see if any of the guys do this?

Even when I'm not dating more than one man I will sometimes give my boyfriend a nickname. My most recent is The Cowboy. Recently I'm dating Mustang Man (aka The Marine) and another guy who is super funny, but I haven't gotten a feel for a nickname for him. Funny enough, I need the nicknames for them because they have the same first name.

I understnad giving nicknames for the purpose of talking about your different men with your friends and its easier for them to recall their profession over their name.
The sub man raises more questions than answers...is he a substitute teacher, works for a sanwich shop, is in the navy, or is submissive as a fetish.

What's wrong with using the names they already have?

Or are you growing your dates in a lab?
