Having a Plan B, just in case

Having a Plan B, just in case

By Miss Kes 

The fear of giving your heart to someone and then being used is real, as many people have been burnt by love. As such, many have been keeping their options open by having a Plan B partner to fill in when the going gets rough. Is this a viable proposition?

SD:

I think that is quite dangerous because no one is going to feel nice knowing they are an option. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend anyone doing this especially with the high death rate of women nowadays.

Miguel:

I can’t tie myself down to one woman because women are just wicked and lie. I don’t make any one woman feel special. They know from day one that I won’t date just one person.

Slick Jay:

I like to keep my options open because if you invested in someone and find out down the road that you have been wasting your time, worse if you invested money in it too, that hurts more than a bullet. So I tell my boyfriend that I desire to have an open thing between us and we have been doing great so far, and it has been over a year. He sees other women too, and to be honest I don’t feel bad because at least he doesn’t have to lie to me. I really don’t believe in marriage, so I am just living.

Anna K:

I don’t like the idea of having my options open. I think you should give a relationship a fair chance and if it fails, then move on. No one will feel good about being treated as an option.
