It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is easier to maintain the interest and excitement of multiple romantic partners by keeping them guessing and unsure about the relationship, rather than trying to keep a single partner interested once their curiosity and mystery have faded. It implies that once the element of surprise and unknown is gone, it becomes more challenging to sustain a long-lasting connection with a single person.
