Oh no, not another trend. I'm someone who dislikes even talking to more than one person at once, let alone scheduling several dates at the same time. Now I have to stack dates? No thank you. I'm currently trying not to date and focus on other things, so this seems even more awful.

The numbers game doesn't get you anywhere. I wouldn't want to treat others as disposable and replaceable. I find that focusing even on a few friends as opposed to a bunch of mediocre connections is better! But I guess some folk do this with ease.
