sbatt15 Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Rose and I dated briefly around October/November of last year but we mutually decided to end things because she had some professional issues that weren't conducive to a relationship at that time. We kept in touch, flirted, and saw each other on non-romantic terms from time to time, but I always had the hope that we would try things again at some point. In the meantime, I met Margaret in late January and we've been on six dates since that time. We have fantastic chemistry and we've had a lot of fun on all of our dates. Early on she asked me if I was dating anyone else and my answer was "No," because I was not seeing anyone (dating Rose wasn't an option at that point). We haven't had any other talks about exclusivity at this point, but Margaret is currently under the impression that I'm not dating anyone else based on that early conversation. Just very recently, Rose has come back into the picture and she wants to try things again now that her issues have been resolved. I'm incredibly attracted to Rose from a physical standpoint and I also would like to date her again, even though things with Margaret are going so well. I truly like both women and would like to date both to find out which one is the best match for me; however, I believe that Margaret will be deeply hurt and disappointed if I tell her that I'm interested in re-connecting with Rose, especially since Margaret has already asked me if I was seeing anyone else. I feel like I owe it to Margaret (and also Rose) to be completely honest with her about the situation, and I hope that she will still want to see me. I just wonder how to best bring up the subject and to tell her in a way that is respectful to her and our current dating situation. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated. P.S. I have not had sex with either women.
outsidethebox Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I don't see any way around having to make a choice. The damage done to relationship with Margaret would be pretty bad assuming she's still talking to you. Would you really learn that much more than you know now? The decision would have to be made anyway sooner or later.
