Are you currently dating three, four, seven, 10, or maybe even 42 different people? If so, you may be doing what's been dubbed on social media as "roster dating" or "rostering." That's when you keep dating multiple people simultaneously without choosing one to date exclusively. Maintaining such a lineup or roster of people to date for a while or even indefinitely could be a way of keeping your options open. But at the same time, it could be lining you up for some significant risks, especially if you do want to eventually go exclusive with the one who is the right fit for you.
