Still torn between A's sense of humor and B's love for me, I decided to spend some time with them to get to know them better before making the decision.

IS the above natural?
Thanks.

Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

It's natural.  I'd say "to spend some time with each of them", probably.

Thanks, Philip. Could you help me understand why you made the suggestion?

I decided to spend some time with them - you could be with both of them at the same time.

I decided to spend some time with each of them - you spend time with one and then the other.
