What are the rules after date one?

[Welshcakesareyum]

I have been on a date with a guy and before spoke lots and since spoke lots. He has said he believes that if he has an interest in someone after date 1, then would not date others.
Anyway, he has made it very clear he is interested and we are going on a second date tomorrow. He has suggested places I wouldn't usually go (art gallery, the zoo), but its sweet he is making an effort. My experience in dating hasn't been too good. He seems lovely, good job, good dad, but works alot. It appears he likes to go out alot too. In between all of this, a guy I went to school with messaged me asking if I'd like to go out for a drink. We chatted about 6 months ago.
My friend seems to think I should keep my options open but I feel I would be doing something wrong. Not only that, our daughter's go to the same school and I know the mum. Only to say hello to. She is remarried with another child. I know of her to be quite difficult. Sometimes I feel dating is too mind boggling 🤔
There's bits about both that I think hmm dodgy? But then I question myself as I feel I no longer trust anyone.

The rules are, there are no rules. You've had one date. You like him, see him again. You want to date someone else, crack on. None of this is a legally binding contract. Keep it all light, have fun, keep your options open. Just because he wants to date one person at a time, doesnt mean you have to. I'd just refrain from sleeping with them until you pick one!!

I agree with your friend. At the moment you've been on one date with one guy. You're not marrying these people, just letting them take you out so you can decide who, if any of them, you want to see again. Why not go on a date with the other one too and see how you feel.
Having said that, if you feel uncomfortable then just put man 2 off for a couple of weeks and see how things are going then.
