You haven't touched any of them and you are already worried? Just go out with the one YOU like (not AT) and take it from there. Not complicated.

Hotness ranking goes (from left to right):

2, 4, 1, 3

However, this could be quite different in person. Now, from your very brief description of your interactions with these women, the ranking for chances of working out goes:

3, 4, 1, 2

Always bet on the person with whom you've talked to and hit it off. So, now you have an optimization problem. Picking the girl you are most compatible with and most physically attracted to.

Now, there is nothing wrong with dating 4 girls at once. However, if you can make one or two cuts, your life gets a lot easier. You don't have to volunteer to them that you are seeing others, but don't hide it either. Tell them straight up if one asks. If any of them aren't cool with it, then you'll have to make a call about her at that time. Just be cool, don't schedule more than one date per block of time during the day, and have fun. If it stops being fun, start making some choices and focus your time on the one you think has the most potential.

What happened with your GF/fiancee? I thought you two were back together.

Engineer actually... life is an optimization problem. It is all about making the best choices. You are right though... I'm a huge nerd

I don't think I have the required skills for this, I have a feeling I'll screw everything up and in a few weeks, none of them will be interested and I'll be alone. In the past I've always just focused on one girl at a time, I have no idea how to juggle them all at once. Still, I kinda like the situation in a way, it just seems like it's going to end up being a ton of work, and I should be concentrating on finals that I'm supposed to be taking next week!

Anyway: the girls: One I met on a website that's specific to the town I live in. She sent me an IM, we've gone out a couple times. She's nice, but I don't know if it'll actually go anywhere.
Another is a friend of a friend. He wants to set me up with her, apparently she thinks I'm cute. I've met her a couple times, but don't really know her very well.
The third I met in the student union today. I ended up talking to her for an hour and a half and missed one of my classes. She wants to teach me to ski.
The last one I haven't ever actually met in person. Somehow I started talking to her on Facebook (she's a master's student at my university). She wants to go do something after finals are done though, and I've been enjoying my online conversation with her.

And since it's AT, here are pics. They're all taken off the internet anyway, so I guess they should all be comfortable with them being seen online. The order of the pics below does not correspond to the order they were mentioned above.

Watch me crash and burn.

are the pictures in the same order that you described the girls? #1 sounds out because you don't think it will go anywhere. #2 is cute but you don't know her. GET TO KNOW HER! #3 sounds like you got a winner there if you hit it off that well. not as cute as the others though. #4 sounds like it could work out too if you hit it off well.

I can tell you right off the bat which one of those stands any chance of success, and it ain't the internet or friend hook-up. Pursue the one you met and talked to. Don't blow off the others necessarily, but put them on the backburner until you can follow up with ski-girl and go out once or twice to see if you two continue to hit it off.

Good luck to ya.

They're all attractive, it would come down to personality/compatability for me.

As long as you're not promising exclusivity to any of them, go for it.

I agree and if #2 in hotness is #3 in person, then I think it's a no brainer.

On looks alone, I'd say #1 or #2 (from the left)

I'd need better pictures to pick from there

:thumbsup: for your kind of problem.

Actually, you're fine. Talk to each and everyone you want to. The keyword is dating. You are not associated with just one girl nor are you seeing just one and the other three are on the side. Dude, you rock!

Now for the real tough question (and you need to think about it now): what are doing or wanting to do for New Year's? See here

Chiller2 just gave you some really good advice, you should follow it.
It is perfectly acceptable to date several people, as long as you let them know that you are just dating. It is likely that they are dating other people also.
