One of the big things I think that holds me back from doing more dating is that I'm neurotic about uncertainty. This whole "dating" thing (and let's be clear, it is a cultural construct) is based on going on-the-fly, freewheeling it, being generally unconcerned, etc. And I'm not good at that. Especially for dating I'm a bit neurotic with it.

Recently I've been texting like 4 women, and as always happens when I do this, I can't conceive of how I'd "pick" which woman I'd ultimately stay with. And then I worry about potentially hurting someone, and in the same vein, can I have sex with multiple of them? Isn't that sleazy though?

Just, WHAT DO I DO? I don't know what to do?

Should I just go full-on modern dating, no-rules guy and just try to sleep with all of them, and stop being so neurotic - you know, like go all the way the other way? A part of me would enjoy that.

I really just don't like the uncertainty of dating

Pick whoever is there no matter what.

Through thick and thin, good or bad.

She loves you more.

You could start by going out with them. You can only learn so much from texting.

Those 4 women are probably facing the same thing. Be careful out there. It's a crazy world.

No need to go out with all of them.

You can be put off by several or all of the others and eliminate them out by selection.

You would be supprized at what all you can learn by sexting.....I mean texting.

You don't always have to decide, it all depends upon what you all are comfortable with.~ ^-^

I'm comfortable with the one who doesn't s*** on me.

It's pretty simple actually.

Ok so you're texting women, and you're worried about your future with them?

Are you serious?

Why don't you try getting out of your bedroom and actually speaking to them face to face, before you go into conniptions of anxiety about which one is The One.


Probably none of them...

Maybe in the OPs case yes. Not in mine....I have an obligation to fulfill and can't step away from it until it's finished.

Move from text to outside. Meet all of them. Then worry about it.
