[quote=NilaJones;31782671]That means maybe. It probably means she is not sure what sort of relationship she might want with you.

I will revise my previous post now that I have seen yours #16: You should say, 'I had a date with this other girl, but then I started thinking how I like you better.'

Don't ask her about being exclusive. Do let her know that she is your first choice, but you do have other options. That way she knows she better step up and make up her mind -- or, if she doesn't want you but is afraid of hurting your feelings, knowing about your other options will help her be more honest and not string you along.[/quote


excellent advice , thank you

Hey, we have a lot of Irish in the U.S. I always assume most of the people who post here are in the U.S, unless their location says other wise. I was just asking because, I've heard people say they want to date somebody of the same race, but I've never heard somebody say date someone of the same nationality.

2. The only time that has worked on me was when my husband made me jealous by talking about this girl he would see from time to time. And the only reason it worked was because we weren't seeing each other yet. I was engaged to someone else. It helped clarify my feelings for him. I was jealous. I became aware that I was jealous and I had some big decisions to make. But if some guy that I was already dating did that to me - I'd just tell him to keep seeing that other girl.

3. Yeah - nobody wants to be someone's consolation prize.

Unless there's a discussion about being exclusive, no one has a right to assume you are. The others are right. Its none of their business. Say nothing.

That girl you like isn't into you.

People who like each other will make some effort to see each other even when they have full schedules.

As an example, she could have told you where she was running at and invited you to come see her compete and see her after the race. Just as an example, I've had women in the past invite me to similar events.

For the second girl, you should tell her the honest truth, just don't be a dick about it, and date other women.

Telling doesn't work in all cases of course but lol at people acting like women don't openly share men all the time. Let's be real here

A lot of the time when a guy is "dating" multiple women all the girls know and are ok with it

Share? I'm not sure what that means. I used to date more than one guy at a time. They knew it. I'm sure some of them were dating other women. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you are just having fun - it doesn't matter. If you are looking for a relationship, it does. As long as both people are on the same page - it's all fine. But if you find someone you are really interested in and want to have a relationship with - then it's time to figure out if you are on the same page.
