<human>: Dear Reddit,

Hopefully you don't already think I'm a scumbag steve just from thread title.

Some background info: I'm 23 and my girlfriend is 26. We're both in graduate school, been dating for 6 months, and all around have a really great relationship. I really do want to be with this girl long-term.

However, a few years ago, I was really socially awkward and obese. I put in a lot of effort to "fix" myself, and now I'm decently fit and not nearly as awkward. Since I've improved myself, I generally have a much easier time talking to other women. I have gotten a few lunch invitations, hang out invitations, etc, but usually make up an excuse and take myself out of the situation.

However, truth be told, my current gf is the second gf I've had in my entire life. I love her, but sometimes I feel like I should go experience more for a while, and try out different women. I have not acted on these desires though, as I've felt it inappropriate to do so. Besides, I do want to have a long-term relationship with my current.

It's a bit of a conundrum to me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I love my girlfriend but am curious to explore sex with others. I haven't had many partners in my lifetime. However, I do want a long term relationship wth my current girlfriend. Thus, I am experiencing cognitive dissonance
