As a woman this is my outlook: unless you're married, engaged, or in a committed long-term relationship you both verbally agree to, you're free to casually date who you wish.
In my opinon, people fall straight from casual dating to long-term boyfriend/girlfriend automatically without exploring other options. I think that's a mistake.
If a guy wants to date someone else while he casually dates me, I wouldn't see a problem with it. If he's LYING about where he is, pretending he's someone he's not, or feigning commitment, then he's gone when I find out. I just don't have time for dishonest people.
Besides... you're young... only 22. I wouldn't expect you to want to get tied down right now anyway. When you meet the right person, both of you will know it's right. In the meantime, enjoy life!
