Harem
A harem is a situation where three or more people show a romantic interest in one character. Usually, it is one guy with a bunch of women, which could be the ultimate dream for some.

A girl is liked by many handsome men and she can’t make up her mind about which guy she likes the best. But can you blame her for being so indecisive around all those attractive men?
