I’ve never dated before, and went with the advise of a friend and met with a few different guys a few times for coffee. However, they ALL like me and I’m finding this very stressful!

What do I do? Do I keep on seeing them until I pick one? They’re all nice guys but I’m quite overwhelmed with the thought of having to try and arrange all these different dates and then have to potentially pick a winner.
Is online dating supposed to be this stressful? Am I being a tinder hoe?

“Pick a winner” 😂 😂

As long as they all know you’re seeing other people, what’s the issue?

My issue is it’s not fun I guess? I thought dating was supposed to be fun, but it’s very stressful. Maybe I’m not ready Blush

With Tinder, you have meet ups with different people and then a few dates in, narrow things down. Don't ever assume that you are exclusive, unless you both agree.

You shouldn't have picked more than one, if you were going to find it stressful. Most men are doing the same and you may have found yourself just having one date a week/fortnight because he's fitting a few people in.

I’m having many dates a week with different people! Think I will have to cut some off. I don’t know how people do this it’s so scary!

I do understand; just do what suits you and be SELECTIVE. All depends on what you want, just be aware there are loads of needy and odd men out there who suddenly want to meet constantly. Remember that these dating apps can be ignored.

Be more picky!!

When I was doing OLD I didn't meet up with all the guys I chatted to. I'd usually go for one that stood out and get to know them a bit before meeting. I just couldn't be arsed and didn't have the time to be meeting a load of random men. For me personally I can't really get into someone if there's loads of others in the background.

Oh poor you, with ALL the guys liking you 🙄 I think that’s too blatant to even be called a stealth boast.
No mention of if you actually like any of them though.

I’ve met 5 and they’re all really great guys! I’m meeting someone else tomorrow who I’ve chatted to on the phone a few times and definitely feel more of a connection with. I think if things go well tomorrow I’ll focus more on him. Should I just bin the others off?

You met 5 and you like them all?

That's some kind of luck !
