Should I keep my options open?
I am currently speaking to 2 people I met via IE, they have both asked me to be exclusive. Should I keep in touch with both of them or decide on just one?

I'd meet up with both of them, as your perspective may change when you meet face to face. Things may seem really good online, but can go either way in the real world.
Previously, I've had to contact the police to stop a guy harassing me after we met up, but then another, we've become best friends.
Definitely keep your options open until you're 100% sure.

As a male on the site I find the ladies don’t want get into a conversation. I’ve tried dozens of different approaches and still no response. There are some that say they are speaking to a gentleman they like and get on with but still on here months later. Nobody get wants to get to know you and they have no idea of the person there chatting with. Very odd !

Solid advice from Paula99! I've only had to visit a clinic once (for tests after coming back from a job which involved working with people who were infected - so just a precaution). I don't want to have to repeat that experience. I don't imagine that anyone does!

SirrahNek…
You don’t need to ‘rush’ to the STI clinic …you can order a kit online which is self explanatory…you will get the results back in a week …at least when you phone the doctors you will have something to argue your case when trying to get past the dragons on reception to get an emergency appointment…😊
Be careful with multiple IEs..

It depends doesn't it? If you're still casting around to find the ideal partner then yes - keep your options open. No one could (reasonably) object to that, and if they did I'd see it as a bright flashing warning sign. After all, if they object to you casting around then think how much more objectionable they'll be about your real-life partner (if you have one). The lawyers will be popping champagne corks.
On the other hand, I can see why they might object once your affair starts in earnest. No one wants to go home with an embarrassing rash and a sudden need to visit the GUM clinic. That would take some explaining!

The chances are …if you are speaking to 2 people then the OP is doing the same ….there is no harm in keeping your options open ….the right person will soon appear ….bit of advice is some just want a pen pal …get to the meet stage as quickly as possible..only then will you really know 🤔

I like to have lots of female friends and couldn't accept anyone asking me to be "exclusive" to them! Once I have a friend with benefits, I'm exclusive to that person.
