I'm such a jerk

[FunkyRes]

I've never been what you would call a "ladies man" - many months often go between dates.

Anywhoo - I've kind of been working on something with a gal I really really like. She's a little freaked of snakes (working on that too) but anyway - we've been working on something, gone on several dates already, etc.

Today I met another chick extremely hot - into snakes but she's a new keeper. We started talking, and before I knew what the hell I was doing, we had a date set. Not just a date to talk snakes and stuff, a date date.

Damn - I feel bad. I feel like the scum of the earth, especially since I really don't want to break the new date. The thought of a girl friend I could go field herping with is just too enticing. I know it ain't right to lead two ladies on but they both are definitely worth pursuing.

Straight from the horses mouth - all men are jerks.

I know what I have to do and I don't want to do it. I have to call break the new date, explain my stupidity and look like an idiot in the process, and hope at least a friendship can be salvaged from my stupidity. We only just met so I think so.

I swear I've never been in this situation before, never really been a ladies man.
Hopefully I can find a tactful (and honest) way to do it.
