For background, I was previously married to a woman and was raised Baptist, so I’m doing a TON of unlearning.

Always known I was gay, finally accepting it and I am definitely attracted to guys who are younger than me. As I’m talking to guys, though, I’m finding myself getting jealous when I realize they’re talking to other guys. There’s no expectation of being exclusive, but when I dated before, I only wanted to talk to one person. If it doesn’t work out, okay - we move on. But almost everyone I talk to is talking to several other people.

I’ve started doing this same thing, talking to multiple people, but it feels so hollow and I still get attached.

I get this is normal dating behavior now. How can I get over this? It doesn’t feel good and it makes me hesitant to even talk to people other than as friends.

Edit: Thanks for all the comments and advice. I should have clarified one thing - when I refer to “talking” in this post, I should have said dating/meeting in person/talking offline. I’m still getting used to all of this 😅
