I just find it funny when dating is considered a completely committed relationship. If you've only been dating for a couple weeks and there's chemistry, you build on that. If it works out great, if not, then is wasn't to be. But dwelling on the negative isn't going to do anything for you, plus, I don't want any competition in the land of negativity.

Ok here is my opinion and only because I recently went through the same thing. You may hit it off and get along great. You may have a lot in common and enjoy each others company but that doesn't mean love. Especially after a week. I was dating someone for almost two months and we had/have all those things. Turns out we are just best friends. Maybe someday the love will grow, but it just isn't there.
And after a week, how can you expect him to settle now?

And a lot are jumping to the dump him now reaction, but seeing he was honest about his situation, why should there be a problem? I mean hell, finding someone that isn't full of sh|t is hard to find as is, but someone that tells you how it is, is something you should cherish.

i agree with this, its way hard now days

yeah hes being honest which is awsome but still id be careful but i wouldnt wait around til he decided what he wanted to do about his feelings!

And I thought I was a pessimist. Dating is the process of finding what your feelings are and that takes time. Love is like a turd in a toilet. You can dwell on what you can't control, try and make something be what you want, or just realize its a turd, flush it, and see where it goes.

i have that book!lol

Sounds like you are damned if you do or damned if you don't. Interesting....

Just seems to me if you are so into someone after only a week, you would want to see how it turns out instead of looking for other people to date. Not whole commitment one O one, but just taking the time to know each other without worrying about other people in the mix. We REALLY have hit it off or I wouldn't be posting this question!!!!!

I seemed to be damned no matter if I do or don't! LOL

let em go

Thats a perfect reason to take it slow, and see where it goes. Who the two of you date is neither of your business.

Enjoy him, and if your the one, then he will date you exclusively.

The worst thing you could do is try to control him, hes obviously not ready to date you exclusively, the perfect way to screw this up is to insist you are the only one.

have confidence, and if he doesnt see your the best for him, move on.

But you dont even know him long nough to decide if hes right for you. You dont know him yet, You know what hes told you, but you dont know he lives his life as he says.

Tomorrows another day, just chill, and enjoy time spent.

The more you push, the further away someones gonna go.

You are indeed, but the only alternative you have is becoming a hermit or a crazy cat lady. Go with what you feel and if your brain keeps bitchen, stab it with an ice pick.

bwahahahahaa

Looking at your profile I see a pretty gal ten years this guy's junior that has a different dating design that this guy says he has.

While you might be into him; he is not that into you or he would not have told you he wants to date others. That would be the farthest thing from his mind.

The comments about doing things together probably are his intention but it only means you are suitable to hang out with until he finds someone he really wants. You deserve better but don't think it is going to be with this guy as his "companion" which you can bet he is telling his friends he is getting something off of you even if he isn't.

When he finds something he really wants you will be forgotten.

Unless you as the visable girlfriend and her as the private one.

Sorry this guy sounds like the kind that has gotten away with this in the past and so in his selfish mind why not repeat what works.

Since I doubt you can just go out and have fun until you find something better with out getting a huge guilt complex I would find someone else to focus on. The infatuation will die off faster the sooner you end it.

Going out with someone just to be seen can be a bad idea because you will get known as his woman wheather you are or not.

Good God there are so many bitter and angry people on here. Dating is the getting to know stage, then you move on to a relationship. You just don't go from, "Hey, nice to meet ya!", right to "Let's be in a loving relationship", in 2 weeks. Just because someone wronged you or whatever, doesn't mean this guy is satan spawn. He was upfront and honest about the situation. If he wasn't and did it behind her back and the OP posted a question about that scenario, you'd all probably be right. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? This is depressing the hell outta me, because I'm an utterly bitter pessimist and I can't find anything to make this guy out to be the bad guy. But hey, if yall wanna be hermits and crazy cat ladies/guys living in your mom's basement, that's great, but there are people still trying not to be those.

I say just keep the friendship and don't worry about the future. Enjoy the time you have with him and live it day by day.

At this day and age, the head games and the malarkey can go on well into one's "golden years". That's because "age" and "maturity" are mutually-exclusive and don't coincide with each other.

If he wants to date others all the while seeing you steadily, then you should probably dump his washed-up keester so he can go about doing what he wants to do.

You have only known him for a week, you two are not in a relationship, i don't see this as playing games!
