Vita debuted in 1910, shortly after the death of King Edward VII.
She was wooed by Orazio Pucci, son of a distinguished Florentine family; by Lord Granby (later 9th Duke of Rutland); and by Lord Lascelles (later 6th Earl of Harewood), among others.
In 1914, she had a passionate affair with historian Geoffrey Scott.
Scott's marriage collapsed shortly thereafter, as was often the fallout with Vita's affairs, all with women after this point.

Vita fell in love with Rosamund Grosvenor (1888–1944), who was four years her senior.
In her journal, Vita wrote "Oh, I dare say I realized vaguely that I had no business to sleep with Rosamund, and I should certainly never have allowed anyone to find it out," but she saw no real conflict.
Lady Sackville, Vita's mother, invited Rosamund to visit the family at their villa in Monte Carlo (1910).
Rosamund also stayed with Vita at Knole House, at Murray Scott's pied-à-terre on the Rue Laffitte in Paris, and at Sluie, Scott's shooting lodge in the Scottish Highlands, near Banchory.
Their secret relationship ended in 1913 when Vita married.

Vita was more deeply involved with Violet Keppel, daughter of the Hon.
George Keppel and his wife, Alice Keppel.
The sexual relationship began when they were both in their teens and strongly influenced them for years.
Both later married and became writers.
