| "The right girl" isn't even in the same ballpark as oneitis. Finding a girl you are really into--who you can commit to with no hesitation or regret-- is a very wonderful, noble thing. Oneitis is when your obsession over a girl who doesn't return your interest causes you to get needy and weird. Two totally different demons.
As for the OP, I have two points.
1) Punishing all women for the sins of the few is no better than women who claim "all men are pigs" because one or two guys fucked them over. Don't confuse growing in experience with growing jaded.
2) People are always going to be who they are. Some people grow and change as life goes on, some people never do. The best way to avoid getting serious with a promiscuous woman is to make an effort to see things for what they are, rather than how you want them to be. I'll give you two examples to illustrate this point:
About five years ago, I lived with one of my best friends and this girl (we'll call her D) used to stay at our house a lot as she worked her way through sleeping with my entire social circle of guys. He didn't get laid a lot, but even he could see her for what she was--a predator posing as a housepet-- as she dated some of our best friends while trying to fuck some of our other best friends, including yours truly (and no, I didn't do it). Eventually she got all the dick she was going to get out of our group and quit hanging out. Fast forward about 3 years and D and my friend run into each other and start dating. You read that right, EVEN AFTER SEEING HER BEHAVE AS PROMISCUOUSLY AS POSSIBLE, HE STILL DATED HER. Eventually they got married, and predictably divorced shortly thereafter when she cheated on his ass on several different occasions.
At the completely opposite end of the spectrum, another one of my friends recently started dating a pretty cool girl who I have been alone with on many different occasions (including IN MY HOUSE) where it would have been very easy for her to come on to me, yet on not one of those occasions have I ever caught the slightest hint of a sexual vibe from her at all--and trust me, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's picking up sexual vibes. She is a good, faithful woman.
In the first example you have a guy completely ignoring everything he knows FOR A FACT is true about a person and seeing her how he wants her to be. In the other, you have a guy who waited to get in a serious relationship until he found a girl who would be wildly devoted to him no matter what.
This one thing--the ability to objectively look at a relationship and decide what is going on-- is what separates guys who get cheated on from guys who don't, because guys who do this don't get into relationships with scandalous women in the first place.
Your boy,
