Recently, I started dating this guy. It's been great, and we're starting to really get to know each other and get closer, so feelings have gotten strong between us. The issue arises, because a guy I work with who I have liked for such a long time, broke up with his girlfriend and wanted to start seeing me and now we've gotten closer. These two great guys, both want to have a relationship with me. They are complete opposites, and I feel like I'm two different people with each of them. They both make me happy and I feel so lucky to have them in my life. If the first guy found out, he'd be so hurt but I'm scared to settle down and wonder "what could have been?" with this other guy. Should I continue seeing both of them? I wouldn't know where to start on choosing between them. I feel like since I'm not in a serious relationship with either, I'm not doing anything wrong by playing the field a bit. Any suggestions or way to maneuver this situation? [20/f]

The problem (in my humble opinion) is not that you are going on dates with more than one person; it is that you feel that you are giving the wrong impression... Each of these guys think that you are exclusively dating them, and so you feel awkward portraying that to them.
Be honest and tell them both that you're not ready to commit to anyone just yet, but you want to continue to date. That way, you're being completely honest, and you can focus more on having fun, and getting to know them rather than avoiding an awkward situation later on.
As you date them (and hopefully other guys too) keep in perspective the things that you admire about each of them, and eventually you'll know when you've found the right one. [ keepitsimple's advice column | Ask keepitsimple A Question ]
