Question - (23 February 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I met this guy towards the end of last year but then we stopped talking, it just fizzled out. But about two weeks ago he contacted me again and we have been flirting and planning to go out with each other sometime. The thing is, I met this guy but I figured he was out of my league and that it would't go anywhere with him. So I didn't see the harm in texting the other guy (the one who contacted me). I'm single so it was just a case of keeping my options open..

But now, the guy who I was texting before the one who contacted me we have been seeing each other and I like him a lot. I did before, but as said I didn't know if it'd go anywhere and it is. The other guy is also good looking, funny and sweet but I don't like him like I do the other guy and I don't want to lead him on anymore when I don't feel that way and like someone else. The thing is, he really wants to see me and is persistent about it and I feel terrible saying I met someone else.. Is there anyway I can let him down and tell him that I don't want to meet up anymore?

So_Very_Confused agony auntAre you in a committed relationship with this other guy?

If you are not what us old folks call "going steady" then I can't see why you can't explore your options and see both of them as long as you are honest with them that it's not a serious relationship.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH CASUALLY DATING MORE THAN ONE PERSON AS LONG AS YOU ARE HONEST ABOUT IT
