Jumping the gun...

Ok I believe I maybe jumping the gun here. I met this guy online and thought that he and I had potential, we still do but I just got an e-mail from this guy that "physcially" is my type. The guy I am currently dating is handsome but not someone I would've picked for myself a couple of months ago. What do I do? I was planning on being with the current guy romantically & intimately and don't want to mess up a good thing while I am trying to get to know this new "Hot Guy". Any suggestions???

When in doubt, WAIT.

Sounds like you might not be ready for exclusivity, so give yourself a bit more time to date around and make sure it's what you really want before you do it.

I know that physical intimacy doesn't necessarily require exclusivity, but I've found it tends to be safer and less confusing that way.

I agree. It doesn't sound like you are exclusive with Guy #1 and until you are, you can date anyone you want to. Being intimate with more than one can cause issues but who knows if you and Hot Guy would even hit it off? He could be as boring as a box of rocks but until you go out with him, you'll never know. You also might really hit it off and like him more than Guy #1.
