Anxious About Dating

Hi everyone,

So I don't want to sound like a player or anything but I have around five guys that are interested in me. All of them are different in their own way and they all intrigue me in different ways also, if that makes sense. I am just a little bit confused about how to go about picking which one to date more seriously as we are all just in the talking and hanging out and flirty banter stage currently. For example, do I choose the guy that caught my attention from day one but who is a little shy and slow to make a move but who I can tell has a very vulnerable side to him or the guy that is a charming smooth talker but who I always have a fun time with? Do I choose the guy who I can be my most "myself" with but with whom I am least attracted to physically? Do I let things just grow and develop naturally? I don't want to waste anyone's time but I still want to give everyone a chance if that makes sense! If any of you guys have partners can you please tell me what went through your mind to pursue them or choose them over others just so I can get a clearer picture in my head please? Like how much should I follow my head and my heart with these things?

Hi Gabby

I had a similar experience. I had some 6 girls that I was very interested in, and all of them were very different. So I decided not to rush things. I was very careful just to enjoy their attention, get to know each of them and take things slowly, in the physical side of things in particular. It became very difficult after about 3-4 months of regular dating, but eventually I was able to slowly whittle down the options to the last 2. Unfortunately I now feel very attached and close to both. One had just come out of a failed relationship, and a small child, and mother living with her. The other is single, and while she lives with her parents, is able to be independent. I feel that until I am totally sure of who to take up with, I will continue to date both and chat online, until it becomes clearer. I tend to listen to the inner voice, the gut reaction, and how my mind works when I am not in the company of either girl.

Hope these comments help. Just dont rush it. It is not worth rushing into something only to find you have made a mistake.

Cheers

Peter
