Dear Abby,
In your opinion, is it okay to be dating two guys at the same time? If not, what do you suggest I do?
Sincerely,
Not So Alone
Dear Not So Alone,
In my opinion, it isn’t a bad thing to explore your options in college. Dating can be strictly casual with no strings attached. At this time in our lives, we don’t necessarily need to jump into relationships just because we connect with someone. Our college years are meant to be enjoyed, and we need to take advantage of these years before we enter the “real world.”
If, however, you begin to have a strong feelings for one or both of the guys you are currently dating, it may be time to re-evaluate. You don’t want to lead one of them on while having a deeper connection with the other. If at any point you decide you want a relationship, you need to make a decision. I believe it is better to be honest than to lie in order to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. It will be difficult to do, but it will be better for the both of you in the long run. So, keep your options open, be in-tune with your feelings, and don’t be afraid to be honest.
Sincerely,
Abby
