Let\u2019s talk about cookie jarring<\/em>. No, it\u2019s not a new fitness trend or a weird sex move involving baked goods (though we\u2019d probably try both). It\u2019s the dating habit of keeping someone \u201con the shelf\u201d\u2014not your main squeeze, but someone you dip into when things get lonely or your first choice flakes.<\/p>

Cue the pearl-clutching. One recent article<\/a> called cookie jarring \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/em> Really? That\u2019s rich coming from a culture that ghosted so hard we made \u201cbreadcrumbing\u201d a term.<\/p>

Here\u2019s the thing: Dating more than one person isn\u2019t gross. It’s literally what dating is\u2014figuring out who\u2019s right for you<\/strong>. The problem isn’t the cookie jar; it’s pretending you only have one.<\/p>

If you\u2019re dating multiple people and<\/em> being honest about it? You\u2019re doing great, sweetie. That\u2019s not shady\u2014that\u2019s respectful and emotionally mature. Just don\u2019t be the jerk who makes someone think they\u2019re your main course when they\u2019re actually dessert you only eat when your fridge is empty.<\/p>

Consent isn\u2019t just for the bedroom (though please also<\/em> practice safe, consensual fun in there). It applies to emotional stuff, too. So if you\u2019re keeping a few cookies in your jar, let everyone know where they stand. And if you\u2019re in<\/em> someone\u2019s cookie jar, ask yourself: Are you okay being a backup snack\u2014or do you deserve to be the whole damn buffet?<\/p>

The bottom line: Cookie jarring doesn\u2019t have to be a dirty secret. It can be a deliciously adult decision\u2014as long as everyone involved reads the label.<\/p>
