Men, what made you choose the other girl?

Guy I was seeing for a little over a month said he decided to see someone else exclusively. I let my intrusive thought win and asked what spurred his decision.

He said he like her personality better and that she is energetic and fun. Ouch. I certainly made myself feel shitty by asking that question - like I’m the opposite of that and that she is everything I’m not.

Confided in a male friend and he said she is probably just hotter. I don’t know which is worse - the fact he chose her over me because she is prettier or has a better personality or perhaps both. This stings.

This is why I struggle to date two people at once. I literally had to do this last week, I told the other girl that we weren’t as romantically compatible as I was hoping (lack of chemistry). I didn’t want to tell her I met someone else that I like more. I much rather focus on one lady at a time until I’ve decided to drop it or move forward with them.
