Ask Amy: Single man wants relatable advice

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

We have been intimate a few times. Timothy has made it very clear that he's open and willing to "do it” again, anytime I want.

During our last visit Timothy talked about how attractive the women are at his workplace. He said he’s unsure if he could successfully compete with other men to ask them out.

Amy, this rubs me the wrong way, but I'm unsure how to talk to him about it.

Even though we are not “officially” together, I don’t feel comfortable that he is telling me that he wants other women, while also wanting me.

Am I overreacting?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
