I (26F) have never been one to date multiple people at the same time. I typically go on quite a few first dates with various guys and there will be one that really sticks out, and I will hyperfocus- drop the rest- get tunnel vision. And in my experience I tend to put them on a pedestal because of this, get way too deep way too quick, and it comes crashing down within a month or so. This has been the last 2-3 relationships for me.
Fast forward to now.
This is the first time I’ve really been intentional with NOT repeating the same things I have done in my past in the hopes that I can build something more sustainable and long lasting.
What it’s now resulted in is me dating two different guys for the last month. (About 4 dates each). I really like both of them, and am very interested in continuing to get to know each of them.
I also have been semi talking to a third guy, and have plans to meet him coming up.
I am in such a level headed place about the two guys and feel like I’m seeing them in a clear light which is so refreshing! I’m excited about them, but not obsessed like I usually am.
I have not been intimate with either*
I kind of feel a bit confused about it though.
-
Even though I’m excited and level headed this doesn’t feel as fun as when I get all wrapped up in the whirl wind of my old tunnel-vision self. Which in turn makes me question if I really can see myself with either of them long term. I know rationally that the passion I have been used to feeling is mostly because of my poor habits but still it’s hard. Any advice there?
-
Do I let them know I am seeing other people? Idk for me in my past once it’s like date 4 or 5, consistently seeing a guy, I just kind of assume we’re focusing in on each other and that he’d say so otherwise.
-
For those of you who date multiple people when do you typically get clarity on who to start focusing in on???
-
When do you stop introducing new people into your dating circle? Like should I even meet this third guy?
This is hard.
TLDR : dating multiple people, need advice
