If we had children who were underage, we would not let them date. Period.
If we find somebody who me and Lu like, we're lucky. We don't bother trying to find someone everybody likes, because that's more or les impossible. Unless your system and whatever partner you find are comfortable with poly relationships, some people are going to have to 'go without' if they don't like who they got.
It may be worth noting that some people (I know I would) would find it quite insulting if they thought they were dating an individual and found out they were dating several people. I would clarify that as soon as possible. We do not involve more than one of us in relationships unless it is absolutely clear, and everybody (including the partner) is absolutely ok with it.
Typically, we have Lu with her fiance, I date (more or less) who I want seperately, and anybody else in here who decides they want a partner can get stuffed. That sounds cruel, but we wouldn't tolerate anybody jeapordising our engagement and stability. We very much go by what the fiance allows, though we do suggest he try to 'grow' to accomodate us.
