Context: 2 dates, but very long ones ~7-8 hours. Third one planned for tomorrow. Great connect, good conversation, and overall very fun. Sex on both dates. Fully admit i've caught a bit of oneitis on this one. I am also seeing two other people, so it's isn't an unhealthy oneitis atm.

Third date was planned for tomorrow, then got a message. Which ill paraphrase:

So here's the bad and poorly timed development in my life. Ex is kinda still in my life and told him about some stuff happening between us and its made things very confusing.

I really enjoy time with you and I like you. Its weird to say as its only been two dates. Basically I can't kiss you right now, but if you wanted to hang out I would love that. But i get if thats not something you'd be interested in.

I have been trying to figure out my life but this week at work has been stupid busy and I just can't promise anything right now. If you would rather me just talk to you when I know I can be with you in that way, I can do that. Im really sorry, I really liked how much fun we were having.

Full Stop.

Ok. So basically I don't know how to respond in a way that maintains frame/ my value and still leaves this open to something in the future. I dated a lot recently and have pick up and dropped many plates but this was something really chill and cool, so I don't exactly want to hard next yet. I'm open to suggestions or idea.

Additional context: she's a nurse (Is quite busy), new in the city, and ex is on other side of the country.

Thanks guys.
