As i am reading into this whole "raising money" topic recently, this is what i came across in Venture Hacks.

My understanding is, shop around, but, don't say it as "shop around". Use other languages or excuses.

This is the summary:

Summary: A deal is only as good as its best alternative. Keep improving your alternatives until you have a signed term sheet. And keep developing your current offers or they will die. Finally, don’t say "shopping around", it puts investors off their stroke.
