Dating dilemma

[ZippyReader]

I have been dating a man for around 5 months but I have started to have doubts. Essentially he hurt my feelings and he knows it has left me a bit unsure about our future. There is another man in my life who recently showed an interest in me. Part of me is wanting to explore this but I don’t know the best way to go about this.

Do I reach out to him and basically date them both until I decide? Or should I continue with the man I am seeing and then if that doesn’t work out, reach out to the other man?

If you're still officially with the man who hurt your feelings, and he thinks you're exclusive. strictly speaking that would be cheating. You'd be better off ending it before pursuing the other man. Less messy.

Have you and current man spoken about the 'hurt feelings' incident?

Why is it a choice between a man you have doubts about and a man you haven’t dated yet?

Ditch ‘doubts’ man and date new man. If you don’t like new man ditch him too.

Yes we are speaking about it and he wants a future with me. We are exclusive however we have been taking things slowly so haven’t slept together yet/met friends and family. So I suppose we see ourselves as dating rather than a couple at the moment.

If you are still with a man who hurt your feelings you need to ask yourself why that is. You do not owe him anything let alone a relationship here. He also
wanting a future with you a mere five months in could be a red flag too (future faking).

Finish with Mr Doubts man before you embark on any relationship with this new man. Do not date both at the same time.
