When you live OOT and are traveling a great distance and at a great cost to another area it makes sense to line up multiple shidduch opportunities.
It’s not like you can easily return in a week or two to meet someone else.
In fact, Mrs. CTL did not ask the shadchan for multiple dates for our daughter. The shadchan suggested 4 possibilities to meet during our daughter’s stay down under.
As for dating one person on Thursday and another on Friday>>>>back in the early 1970s when I was dating, it was not unusual for a boy to have one date Sunday afternoon and another Sunday night.
