| Now What? |
| They both said yes, Mint. So now what?

Despite her rather uncanny lack of confidence in her own abilities, I think Mint gave you a useful piece of advice, despite placing you in this enviously difficult position.
For one thing just because they will date you doesn't mean that you are going have to marry either one. Even if you were dating only one person, I think it is wise to go slow at first and just try to foster a friendship in order to get to know them better, before you try to take the relationship farther. You may find out that you are much more interested in one over the other or learn something that will dampen your enthusiasm for one of them, so it will be more clear where your heart ultimately lies.

This is a basic recommendation, you probably should not try to date both girls on the same night. That, as they say, is just begging for trouble.
That being said, I also think it is important that you don't lie to either girl about the other one or try to play one off the other (well, Girl A will give me this, what are you going to do?). Those are both most ungentlemanly.
You don't have to make a big deal about it, either. A persistant reminder that someone you are dating is also going out with someone else is rather offensive to just about anyone. If they want to know, then be clear that you like them, and want to get to know them, but right now, you aren't sure about your own heart, and don't want to get too serious about either of them, yet, so you should just enjoy your time together.
It would be wrong to try and dive into a deep committed relationship with both girls, because human hearts don't work that way. Yours won't find a way to share, and theirs won't find a way to share you between them.

Or you could go through the sitcom styled romance where you continually try to scramble to hide one presense from the other, forcing one out the window when the other comes by, stuffing the other into closets. And then you could set up webcams all over your house and make it the world's first reality sitcom and charge money and sell merchandising!
Hmm... maybe I should give that a shot...

...remember what I said about you giving good advice, Mademoiselle Mint?
I think I'm going to have to take that back.
