Q: This is an odd situation. Just for a little background info, I have a boyfriend. I've been dating him for over a year. Valentine's day will be 15 months.
Okay, I just got the lead in the school musical, and I have a love interest (duh). My love interest is a guy half the girls in the choir have had a crush on (except me, lol). That isn't really the point, just a bit of background.
My problem is this: We rehearsed, and we ended up practicing a scene in which we kiss. I didn't feel bad about it yesterday, but today I feel like...awkward, and wrong, and like I was cheating on my boyfriend, but it wasn't me that consented to the kiss, it was my character. My boyfriend knows about the scene, but he doesn't know we actually kissed yet. I was gonna talk to him about it today but he didn't come to school.
The thing is, the director thinks stage kisses look fake, and refuses to use fake kisses. So it was real. But I feel soooo bad about it. I shouldn't, because I have no feelings for the guy, but I do.
Any advice for me?
you're acting : ) whether a kiss is real or fake, if you don't feel anything towards the guy, than you shouldn't feel guilty. i know you can't really help feeling bad, so why don't you talk to your boyfriend about it? tell him how bad you feel, and he will most likely tell you that he respects what your doing, and trusts you completely. Promise him the first kiss right after the show : )

You know, that really helped a lot...it made me smile. I think I'm gonna take your advice and talk to him. Thanks =)
