People are always of the views that if one relationship doesn't work out we can find another and start dating right?then I don't think having more friends at a time is wrong,it merely not putting one's egg in a basket in case its crashes. It just like letting it go and believing one of the others will stay. What do you think?

My understanding of this saying is that you shouldn't put all of your hopes and expectations into only one thing. For example; If you wish to move to another house or apartment and have already viewed one, look at others also. This way you are not limiting yourself to only that apartment. Chances could be that you might not get it. By viewing more than one, you are giving yourself a choice.

Will you not have a time to heal when you have ended a relationship? We dont rush things just because things didnt work out right.

@Berrygal oh okay. I am sorry I got confused. I was sleepy I did not have enough sleep yet but just for clarification, is this regarding friends or with a bf or gf?

I don´t think that the saying applies to human relations. If you want love, you must do all you can. And I mean it in friendships and in any sort of relationship.

I feel that this is a complex yet true statement. Everyone has their struggles that they go through in a relationship regardless if it is romantic, parental or a straight friendship. You are right that having more than one friend is not wrong, That is because everyone is mutual in that agreement. When you are in a romantic relationship you should be committed to that person and willing to work with he/she to build a stronger bond.

I habe tried having back up plans for all my but I still got hurt and all so I don't think this applies to relationships . A deep connection cannot be lessened by having multiple connections. The proverb does not apply in this case.
