What do you do when the girl you've dated for three weeks says she is interested in dating someone else but still wants to be with you? I'm really confused with this one. I broke it off for the moment, but I'm giving her a chance to figure things out and come back to me.

You're giving her too much control over you. If you don't approve, cut it off with no chance. Don't forget what diseases are out there nowadays.

Letting her go was your best choice, see one of Kahlil Gibran's poems. Ditto with Sweet's advice.

This is an interesting situation. Back in my parent's day, gals and guys "dated" more than one person...but, they were actual "dates," meaning a dinner...walking in the park, a community dance. Nowadays, "dating" someone is sleeping together to see if it can turn into something long-term.
If I were to step into your shoes, and I knew if the gal you are interested in is sleeping with the other fellow, I would say: R-U-N!
Now, if she is keeping the nickel squeezed between the knees (not sleeping with the other bloke) and is simply trying to find who she is more "emotionally" connected to....you may give her the benefit of the doubt.
3 weeks is not that long to get to know someone, in all fairness...
Truth is she is just as confused as you are. You are doing the right thing. If you love something let it go and if it comes back to it was meant to be.

Three weeks isn't very long to date someone. Perhaps she enjoys your company but thinks things are moving to fast? Give her space. You only have 3 weeks invested. If you really like her continue to chat, talk on the phone, email, text, etc... See where her head is at.. Communication is key in this situation if you're really interested in her.
If you try to "control" her she will bolt! No one wants to be told what they can and can't do, you included. Your patience and maturity might just endear her to you.... What happens if it turns out she's into the other guy more than you? Man up, part as friends...and move on.

I got to remember that phrase..."keeping the nickel squeezed"
Thanks integrity333 for that one. That was good! Have a great weekend!

That's wanting her cake and eating it too.
Do you want to be the crumb catcher?
You must be worth more than that.....
Would she like it if you wanted to see someone else I wonder?

Well have you been intimate in that three weeks? If so I would say it would be advisable to close the door and consider it three weeks of enjoyable time spent but look for something more your style. The reason is that if she has been intimate with you in that time of "dating" odds are she would be so with another person while seeing you and that is something I personally would not tolerate nor do myself. Of course your actions are up to you...
If she has not been intimate with you then perhaps allowing some space and time to consider things for her and for you is not a terrible idea but be prepared to deal with things if she finds another person better suited to her then you etc.
