I wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone (even just friendly dates) who was
going out with somebody else, if I thought they were "evaluating" me as a po-
tential SO.  I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me.  I'd also feel guilty if
I broke up another relationship, even if it were to my advantage.
