#1 is 23 and "works for her dad" which means she's never had a job she's earned herself, which bugs me. I really think i'm hung up on her for the sake of the memories - she rejected me years ago so I was floored when we hooked up - i even said to myself (in my head of course) "holy sh*t, I'm making out with the cute girl from my school bus!" Which made the night a little extra surreal.

You guys are convincing me about girl #2 - i'm going to send her an email flaking out this weekend and will keep girl #1 and #3 at arms reach, with more attention paid to #3 . I'm seeing her tomorrow, actually. and i won't reject her again. i didn't actually reject her, i just thought taking it slow would be best and have never, ever had a meaningful relationship with someone i hooked up with on the first date.. the 3rd date, however, is a different story!

yeah, based on his descriptions of each one, its pretty obvious whichone he should go with.

op, just reread your descriptions of each girl and if you still can't decide, send #3 my way.

First, I must make it totally clear that I'm not bragging. These three girls are all cute and nice but they're not supermodels and I'm not the "man" for having them in my life. I'm just lucky and lost weight so I'm more confident than I usually am. But, yeah, I'm not bragging - I'm just confused right now and could use some advice. I had like 2 years off from dating after a long relationship so I'm friggin' clueless and pathetic, so make fun of me - just don't accuse me of e-bragging since I have nothing to brag about.

Here's the situation. There are three girls who are in my sights, but I'm not sure how to balance this. In fact, I don't wnat there to be three, it's way too stressful.

Girl #1 - A friend of mine from highschool who I had a crush on way back when. She emails me out of nowhere (after 7 years!) and mentions hanging out with a mutual friend. We begin emailing back and forth and end up meeting up for drinks. but our first meeting turned out very different then I thought it would - i spent the night and... well.. i didn't expect that at all. Part of the attraction is nostalgia - the cute girl from high school wants me for a change! But she's also a sweet girl and I do like her... She's just kinda irresponsible (lives with her parents still) and doesn't ahve a real job yet. She's been calling /texting me to hang out and we will eventually, just feel weird because of how our last meeting ended.

Girl #2 - Total myspace ho. We've been e-flirting and I'm pretty sure she'll be an easy lay, she actually invited me to her place on Saturday but I'm having reservations because of girl #1 and my feelings for girl #3. She's really pushy and has been emailing me a lot and it's getting on my nerves. She also doesn't interest me as a person and we'd just be using each other, which i'm honestly fine with..I'm thinking of just cutting her off but my dryspell in the past makes such a move seem stupid... What do you think?

Girl #3 - the girl who complicated things. We had our first date last night and we had a wonderful time. She's intelligent ( a web designer who codes by hand!), well off, cute, and very mature. Relationship material, for sure. But the newly cautious me wants to take things slow with girls I really like so, even though she invited me home, I passed and just asked her out on a 2nd date. I see this going somewhere but my problem is with the other 2.

NOW, my problem seems like a simple one but I don't; want to keep all of my eggs in one basket. I would cut out or change the relationship with the other girls if I had something more invested in girl #3, but it's only been one date (as wonderful as it was). I feel guilty if I did anything behind her back because I respect her, but I also don't want to screw up 2 other fun opportunities... Since I'm supposed to hang out with all 3 this weekend I'm kinda banging my head on the table to figure this out... Thoughts?

Dude, I think you should go with three. Seriously, I think you'll be okay with the whole not sleeping with her part and opting for date two. Just remember to keep that in mind though, and hold off on teh s3x0rz for a good long time. No joke, this chick seems like relationship material, and the longer you wait to do the dirty, the better the relationship will be (in my experience). I'm sure there are a lot of people who will disagree with me, but really, I think you made a smart move on that part. Plus you're probably about 25 years old or so, so I'm guessing you could possibly be looking to settle down in a couple of years. I think it'd be a wise move to treat these next women you meet like potential wives, not like women to relieve your dry-spell.

I've been in both places before, and I can really tell you, sleeping with a chick too soon will definitely void the relationship of awesome potential (some people won't agree with me, that's fine. Flame on).

i admit to being pretty immature about dating.. hell, my parents are indian - they keeped us locked up until we're ready to get our arranged marriage. i rebeled a bit but spent nearly 7 years, my formative college dating years, in one relationship when I should have been out learning the rules and such.. so that's why i'm a retard when it comes to dating and girls in general.

because i don't care about cars, can't afford new computer gear, and don't like sports.. girls and work are what's always on my mind, but you guys don't want to hear about film or publishing, do you? ;)

Hard to say anything that hasn't been said yet.

#3 is the clear winner.

#1 was probably fun. Feel free to chalk that one up for all the geeks who lusted after the hot chick in high school. But if she still lives at home, has no job and doesn't appear very motivated to do anything with her life... She's going to drive you insane within a month or two. Then you'll be wondering why you're with her and you'll be posting YAGT about what to do with her.

#2 Ick. Dime a dozen. Spin the wheel and you'll find another one (or two or three) just like her. What's more, she'll still be there a few months from now if you "need" her.

That only works in trailer parks and in late night cinemax movies ;) just kidding, some people can do four-somes. I'm the guy who'd be exhausted a few minutes in and reaching for a gatorade while 3 frustrated girls give me a pissed off look.


Little Seinfeldian humor here on this table, please! :confused:

LOL, I just got a mental image of Napoleon Dynamite chugging down some gatorade while... well... you fill in the blanks.
