New girl interest going away for 2 months, how to stay single for her?

[RidePenny]

Hi, I've just started dating a particular girl about 2 weeks ago, and things are great. However, she's going to be out of the country to visit family & so on for 2 months.

 

I don't want to go out with anyone else while she's away, but it's possible it may happen since it's not exclusive atm. So my question is, how do you keep yourself away from starting other relationships? The thing between her and I isn't serious yet, but I'd really like to start something once she comes back.

 

Also as an extended question, what should I avoid doing that could make things uncomfortable once we see each other again? I've never been in a situation like this so I don't wanna make the wrong decisions...

 

Thanks! : )

 

PS I posted about this girl about 2 months ago in the dating subforum, so things have been positive since then ;D

If you've BOTH decided it's not exclusive yet, as you've only been together 2 weeks, then there's no reason you can't BOTH see other people while she is away, this means you'd also be happy for her to date others while she's gone?

 

I'm not sure what you need to avoid to make things not be uncomfortable once you see her again? What sort of things do you mean? Things have never felt uncomfortable when I've seen my partner each time, quite the opposite, we've usually been apart 6-10 weeks at a time. Do you mean if you have r/ships or sex with others while she's away? If so, then if you've both agreed on it, why would it be uncomfortable? It's only uncomfortable if she's thinking you're exclusive and you're getting involved with others without her knowing, ie cheating.

Nah, its nothing like that. But when I meant 'uncomfortable' I meant like it's possible we won't feel the same way in 2 months.

 

Either way, I think I've got it all straight now. I was just overthinking things. Thanks for the reply.
