i have been out of the country for awhile and have been meeting men in my hometown via the internet. the plan was to meet them when i returned back home. well, this certain man(i'll call him jeff) and i started talking and decided we would meet once i got home. on our first date, we had a great time and wanted to see each other again. i know this was a no-no, but we ended up back at his place, and slept together that night. it wasn't like it was a one night stand- he wanted to really see where this leaded, so he asked when he could see me again. i am into it as well, seeing where it leads. since that night we have been on two other dates(second date he cooked me a gourmet dinner at his place), but i explained to him that i didn't want to move fast(aside from the fact that we had already been intimate on the first night), and also explained that i wanted to continue seeing other men(dating)since i have talked to other men during the time we were talking. i like him, and want to see where it goes, but i also don't feel as strong about the whole thing as him. he is very affectionate, and wants to see me whenever he can. i am at a time in my life where i am just moving back here and getting re-settled, and living in this city is going to be a whole new life for me. i know i am going to meet so many other people and don't want to be tied down YET. i just don't know how to explain this to him without hurting his feelings. he's in pretty deep already! what is the etiquette on dating, this is all new to me. is it wrong to date other men, while i continue to date him knowing how he feels about me already?? please help!! thanks.....

Unless you promised "JEFF" exclusivity....PG thinks you can (and should) date as many people as you want to.
So the next time the 2 of you are "out" (or "in") together...make it clear that as much as you like him...that you're not ready to get REALLY SERIOUS with anybody!
