How to handle it?

[Itsconfusing]

We've been dating for about a a month now and it's all going great etc. But he asked me how I feel about him still dating others. Now - I'm not expecting commitment, nor exclusivity at this point. But I've never actually dated anyone who is still dating others, I personally am not at the moment (you know the usual job removing all forms of social life)

 

What I want to know is, how do you handle it? We really do get on great and have a lot in common but he said he doesn't want to promise me the world right now if he doesn't know what he's doing. I personally hope it goes further but know if it's not meant to happen, it won't.

 

I just want to know how you handle dating someone who says they are still out dating? Did it make you feel differently towards them or nothing changed? (I'm totally inexperienced at the dating game)

Thank him for his honestly and navigate your feelings accordingly.

If you want to continue to date him, practice not getting attached and continue dating others as well.

 

Are you having sex with him?

If you are, you get to decide if you want to continue doing so with the knowledge that he may be doing so with others as well.

If you aren't comfortable with this, then dial back the physical aspect of the relationship.

 

It just boils down to that you get to decide what you want to do with the information going forward.

Do what ever makes you feel comfortable. He's apparently doing the same.

If you don't want to date others, you handle it by discontinuing things with him. You two are obviously on two very different pages. He's essentially telling you to date others because he knows you're latching on. Just be honest with yourself and don't be a masochist. Make decisions that are right for you.
