Read on if you find yourself choosing between two potential partners.
The problem of plenty has never been more prominent than in current times. People today have limitless options thanks to more exposure than ever before, and the area of love can become crowded and confusing. If you’ve been dating more than one woman, choosing who you want to settle down with can seem like a daunting task and you may be asking yourself, is it really possible to love two people at once? Psychologists unequivocally agree that you can, in fact, love two people at once, but with a very important distinction. You usually love the two people in different ways . But how do you pick which one is the right one for you?
The big three
When we are attracted to someone romantically, there are three brain systems at work. The first is attraction, the second is romantic love and then there is sex drive. You can feel all three for three different people and even though it’s rare, it’s not uncommon to find one person who ticks all three boxes for you. If you’re caught between choosing between two partners, it helps to see who ticks more boxes and which boxes are the most important to you.
Once you can isolate why you love a particular person and what you’re looking for in an exclusive relationship, the dilemma can become easier to solve.

Look inward Chemistry is a strange thing and the reason why we do not respond to everyone the same way. So, if you have been dating multiple women, take a few moments to look inward at what you are like with each of them. Do you find your personality changing with one? Are you more yourself around the other? Pay close attention to what you are like around each woman and whether you like the person you are. Choose the person who brings out the best in you.
Take your time You don’t have to decide overnight (unless of course, you’ve been given an ultimatum). Take your time discovering the person, asking them questions that gives you an insight into their personality. And if you are feeling overwhelmed, take some time off.
Absence and abstinence can not only make the heart grow fonder, but in this case, can also make you see clearer. When you take time off from dating the women, you can tell who you crave to meet.

Go with your gut You can use your head and heart for a number of important decisions, but if the answer is still not obvious to you even after a lot of deliberation, it’s best to trust your gut. Close your eyes and imagine what your life will be like, now and a few years from now. Who do you see yourself with? And most importantly, don’t forget you have a third option: not picking either of them.
