I'm dating 2 people....

Last Atumn I got out of a bad relationship, only bad, because they were not the right person. I said to myself that I dont want to keep making the same mistakes with picking partners.

I started tindering etc just after Xmas with all the fun that, that brings.

I know you have to kiss a few toads to find your price and it is a soul destroying experience.

Anyway I met someone early January, we went on date quite quickly (due to circumstances) and we clearly had a connection. We have alot of common in live, included shared values and a lot of fun together.

I was also talking to someone else, and we wanted to meet up, but with them being away and me working it took a few weeks to finally meet up, but we chatted regaulary when it would have been easy to fizzle out. They are the total opposite on the first person I met, they are a little older, have a different outlook in life and we get on and have fun, but just in a different way.

I now find myself torn between 2 really great people who I am dating, it was never my intent to end up in the situation, but I am where I am. I have made no many wrong choice in the past I now dont know what to do. I could imagine a future with both of them.

Any advice?

I'm fascinated as to whether both men know about each other but the OP hasn't answered this question.

If a man had two women on the go at once, would the responses on here be the same?

Are your 'boyfriends' aware of each other? Surely the longer you keep up seeing both of them runs the risk of one of them finding out about the other. For all your wants & emotional needs you could wind up being dumped by both!

I agree.

1 at a time always works better.

“f a man had two women on the go at once, would the responses on here be the same?”

if they both knew, that would be fine. She’s only been dating them a few weeks

I personally could never date 2 men at the same time, certainly if I was sleeping with both. I’ve never done OLD but did start seeing someone in the last 3 months. Even if I found out he was seeing someone else in those first 2 weeks I’d have been upset. After texting me saying he’s smitten etc and lots of other nice things I’d have been really upset if I found out he had another woman he was seeing too. Maybe I’m old fashioned too and this is part of OLD. I think I’d have to put my profile on hold if I went on a date which lead to a 2nd date.

As you say you need to choose. A ready made blended family might not be easy, but then might not necessarily be easy for a childless guy to get along with someone else’s child or necessarily want to be involved in family life.
