So, you just started seeing a guy, and things are going pretty smoothly. But suddenly, after a couple of dates, he asks you, “Are you seeing anyone else?”
Caught off guard, your mind starts racing with all kinds of thoughts and responses. Is this a trick question? Or is curious if you’re one of those women who date multiple men at once?
How did the conversation even steer towards this topic? You weren’t prepared for that at all!
It’s not an easy question to answer, especially since it can mean different things. A wave of uncertainty washes over you and the fear creeps in. The fear of saying too much, the fear of not saying enough, and most importantly, the fear of disappointing him.
But here’s what to remember: Honesty is paramount in any relationship. Even in these early stages where both of you are trying to impress each other, pretending or sugar-coating never works in anyone’s favor.
Ask yourself what you genuinely feel about this man, and most importantly, what are his intentions. Are you ready to take it to the next level, or are you still keeping your options open?
Remember, it’s not just about what to say but also about how to say it.
