Dating Two People + Me = A Mess! Help!

Hey there! I need advice on this, especially since the people to whom I usually go for advice don't understand...

I am currently dating two guys. One I met in class at the beginning of the school year and one who my friends set me up with in October. Both are pretty great, have their positive traits and flaws and I seem to be stuck; I can't choose! When I seem to have made my decision my feelings turn around again leaving me confused more than ever.

The guy from school (Let's call him Will), is my age and lives in the same town as me. He's really nice, adorable, and extremely in touch with his feelings which I particularly like. He's also really honest, although a lot of people have told me not to date him because of his past and that he lies. A lot. So I don't know what to think about that. He's really sweet but it's sometimes invading, always repeating how pretty I am. I don't mind, but he can get awkward and is already acting towards people as if we're in an official relationship.

Now the guy my friends set me up with (Let's call him Tom), is 17 (I'm 15), and lives in a town 40 minutes away. My parents don't let me drive there often because the reputation of the place and the people there is horrible. Three of my friends date people who are there (That probably influences something). Anyway. First time I met the dude I wasn't ready for a relationship (still recovering from past relationship) but now I am. I don't really feel emotionally connected to him and don't know him a lot since he doesn't text that often. Emotionally it's slow but we've made out and like cuddling etc. But he's the sweetest guy when it comes to little things and a real gentleman. He's the greatest version of himself when you consider his troubled past.

When it comes to my values (equal rights, etc.) I know Will is okay with lots of those but I'm not so sure about Tom (he sometimes has racist/homophobic behaviors)... I really care about these things in a relationship and I love people who are accepting and open-minded.

In some ways one relationship is more evolved than the other. I really like both guys and don't want to do any harm. It has been giving me a lot of stress and when I try to solve it it only messes me up more.

When I think of the future, I can imagine myself with one or the other, but it's not what I imagined my life would be like since they're both small town boys and I want to travel to big cities. So when it comes to having serious relationships with them, I can see long term but not full-long-term-for-life-and-commitment-with-a-ring.

When I asked for advice from my mom, she told me I should rather stay single. I don't know if she said that because she really thinks it or because she knows Will isn't from a financially stable family and that Tom isn't from a good town, etc. Unlike her, to me those things don't matter.
