Question: since we're cooling off, can I date someone else?

i think it depends on how u take the cool off thingy. if its jst for u to really define your feelings and the relationship in general, then i guess u should think twice of dating someone. however if u think its a prelude to a break up.. well... mas maau ng naa na daan safety net hehe

[bengerboy]

i think hmmmmmmm.............

depende ra na sa inyong cool-off, kung cool-off for good....pwede naka mo.date ug lain, pero if cool-off lang to think ur feelings over or need lang jud ug space kay medyo natuok na mo sa inyong relationship...it would be unfair man sad cguro sa imong partner.

but it's a matter of choice and preference....depende ra sad na nimo.

cool-off is not the same as break-up... but more often than not, it's a prelude to a break-up. anyway, you can't start dating bcuz you still are, technically, in a relationship. if the other party consents that you can see and date other people, then it's not cool-off... open relationship, maybe.

yep,i agree to this.... not unless you intend to end the relationship that cooled down, better not date nalang, kay u know girls do have pride too <-- just what if, she'll know you'd been dating during your cool-off period, then the moment you decided to 'recharge' the relationship again,it's the girl you wud back out na 'coz of the dating thing, di ba that wud hurt?

for me if you plan to date someone else when you cool off with your partner, it's better to break up your relationship.

kung mag date man gani lain bulag na lnag mo then ipanguyab balik ang laki sa babae

hmmmmmm....ok ra na oi....ayaw lang pasakop....kay kanang cooling off padung na sa break up...

Yep.. mostly padulong jud sa break up...

Still, it's much better u talk about it and if break, break nlang jud... it's tempting to do nasty and bad things, bt bad karma really happen.. meeting friends is just ok.. but DATING has a different meaning

[blade101]

y not. but know ur limitations, coz the fact that u are just cooling off.. u are still committed to him...

this is what i'm trying to get at.since both parties have agreed to "stop being a couple" for a while so it means na free naka to do anything...like date someone else for example?or better still, what is your definition of "cool off"?

[giver_bert]

why "cool off" in the first place, if the intention is to cease being a couple already?

i believe the reason why some resorted to this is to give each other the space and some time to mull things over, sort out things, and hopefully saving the relationship, not to give each the license to preplunging (dunno if there’s such a term) into another intimate relationship.. if that's the case then better put a formal closure.. as much as possible in good termsÂ*

[blade101]

so when a couple "cools off" it doesn't really mean na they have no more attachments with each other? they are still considered a couple for all intents and purposes?

[n0stALg|a]

cool off ra man kaha sir? a cool off doesnt necessarily mean detachment from the relationship.. so it doesnt really give a partner the license to date other ppl..
