Do I keep My Dating Options Open?
When you are in a new relationship, you may not know exactly what direction you are hoping for the relationship to go in. If this is the case, you will want to talk with your partner and find out how they feel about the two of you. You will also need to sit and have a really introspective conversation with yourself, as it is important for you to always know what you are hoping to gain from your relationship.
If you decide that you would like to keep your dating options open, then you need to find out if your partner is comfortable with that. If they are not, and you are still determined to have a more causal type of commitment in your relationship, then it is possible that your current relationship is not the best for you.
Sometimes, when we are considering everything, we’re not sure what to do. If you feel like you love the person you are with, and you have considered dating other people, but still have no one specific I mind, you probably do not need to mention the thought to your partner. Wait things out and see if the feelings remain or if they were just a fleeting insecurity.
On the other hand, if you have contemplated all of this long and hard already, and are all but convinced, then you definitely need to sit down and have a talk. Be honest about why you want to be able to date other people. If you feel something is lacking, let your partner know. Also let them know if it is just that the two of you were not meant to be, but they didn’t actually do anything wrong. This will help them to feel better about whatever process comes next.
Whatever happens, know that you have the right to your own happiness. If you are not satisfied in your relationship, do not sit idly by while you could be with someone that makes you feel wonderful.
