spinning plates

doing many things at once, dating many people at once, being a whore, friendly; like in the variety shows of the 70s where the performer puts a plate on a tall thin stick mounted to the stage and spins it ... puts another plate on another stick and spins it ... doing more and more to see how many he can keep spinning without falling
Dude1: "Hey man, you just dating that one chick?"
Dude2: "Nah, I've got several hoes on the line, i'm spinning plates man!"

Spinning Plates

"Spinning Plates" is the art of juggling multiple people you’re attracted to, keeping each one interested while trying to hold them all in your orbit.

side plate spinnin' 

When you have a main dish (relationship) and then several other people (side plates) that you're chatting, flirting, and boning. Your main dish is like meatloaf, you're familiar with it and you feel safe with it. The side plates are like grilled brussel sprouts, you're not sure the sprouts are gonna work out but you're feeling adventurous.
Example 1: Man I'm not too full this weekend for a little side plate spinnin'.

Example 2: Hey Tony, I know you're all full with your wife but if you're a little hungry I got just the girl at work for a little side plate spinnin. So you hungry bro?
