relationship help: How do you express to someone you are dating that you are not dating them exclusively? - Help.com

i have never got this not dateing exclusively either pick one or the other and be with just that one person unless you both agree to an open realtionship

Well you need to develop some morals. Date one girl at a time. They are people with feelings.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong if you don’t want to date one person exclusively, but you have to have an honest talk with them. Probably no easy way around it. If you feel that you like one person more than the other, then definitely make your choice, if not, talk with them, there’s a chance they don’t want to date you exclusively either.

Since you guys brought up the issue of morality, I feel it is necessary to give some background into the situation. One of the girls has already told me upfront that she’s not ready for a relationship yet, because of her recent breakup. As for the other girl: we dated a few times at the end of last year, but since the new school year started up, we haven’t actually gone on any dates, though she is still flirting with me and I am still interested (so we haven’t technically dated for, like, 3 months. But there is a reasonably high chance, though no guarantee, we will be dating in the near future)

I think, of the two, I have to be honest here: I like the second one I mentioned much more. But I’m willing to give either a chance, honestly. I also don’t want to get into a situation where if I dumped the first girl, then things didn’t work out with the second girl, I would have messed something up without a just reason. I don’t know. I’m kind of confused about all of this. This isn’t a situation I particularly asked for, it just kind of worked out this way, and I just want to know how to navigate it without hurting anyone.

You want an ‘open relationship’. You might be polyamorous. http://www.polyamory.com/forum/index.php

Just be honest with everyone involved. ;)
