Well, I may be going on a date with another girl next week, Mary, so maybe it is something I'm doing serially.

You were the one who brought her up. We're not insisting you talk about her at all or anything. We just said we saw you!

I also recently had an editor ask me to replace the use of "date" as a verb, because it sounded "formal!"
Personally, I've always been slightly impressed by people's serial-dating. Yes, I understand it could be the result of no relationship ever really taking off, but it also creates the impression that they're just sampling pickily around, like they're going to try out every person possible before deciding on one. This is sort of daunting in process, of course, because you realize you're going to have to exhibit a certain level of dating professionalism to avoid getting dropped: afterwards you feel like an ill-fitting shirt or one of those little pink Baskin-Robbins tasting spoons, briefly examined and then passed on. Some people are just so adept at this, like waiter, bring me another!
Sometimes I think I'd like to try this, briefly, if only so I could be one of those people who's dated everyone. You could ask me about anyone in the city, and I'd just make that little face and go "Ahh, yeah, she's ... interesting."

(Oh, but you still need a word for people in your friendship orbit who you are semi getting it on with but are not your proper "girlfriend" or "boyfriend." Personally I like "girlperson" and "boyperson" for all indeterminate situations.)
