21st century dating and sensitive men

From the get-go, this whole dating thing has made me uncomfortable. Keep in mind I haven't actually "dated" someone since high school which was farther back than I will admit to in public. Back in high school, if you dated more than one guy at a time, even once, you got called some not so nice names by all the popular girls (and guys). So that is the memory and impression that is still with me as I trek through the Match.com jungle.

I went on a very nice date with Guy #1. We got along great and had fun. He wants to go out again, which is good, because I do, too.

I traded emails with another guy and he asked me out, and I suddenly found myself feeling very squeamish about going on a date with Guy #2, even though a date is just that, and it isn't like I'm in a relationship with anyone. Apparently, this is quite acceptable these days, going on multiple first dates at the same time, but it still bugs me. I feel like going on dates with other guys would be more of a distraction to me while I see what happpens with Guy #1. Fortunately (or not) Guy #2 sort of faded away, so I don't have to worry about him.

Is it just me being silly?

And on another topic, men have gotten just as sensitive and insecure as women! I got two emails on Tuesday from guys on Match.com. Unfortunately, Wednesday was a suck and I didn't get to my email at all. This morning, I have emails from BOTH of them, worrying that they upset me or turned me off somehow with their last communication! It really surprised me; I mean, what are the odds that I get not one but two paranoiacs checking me out? I emailed them both with apologies, when what I really wanted to say was that they really need to relax and realize that sometimes you don't get an immediate response...but that would be mean, I guess.
