Hi folks!

Going to ask what might be a stupid question. What are your thoughts on your match (in this case on Feeld) mentioning other people they've been on dates with in the initial conversation?

To be clear, I am poly and have it listed in my profile. I do not mind if my partner is dating other people (currently single but it hasn't been a problem in the past) and I think it's implicit that anyone I match with and am chatting with is talking to/seeing other people (especially on Feeld!) unless otherwise discussed. HOWEVER something about mentioning other dates at this stage (very early on) rubs me the wrong way. It seems like some kind of power move or attempt to create and maintain distance in the match when we're literally just getting to know each other.

Maybe I'm over thinking this but curious to see how other people feel. When do you bring up other people you're casually seeing? What works for you?
