Vanessa answered Friday September 24 2004, 11:48 pm: The fact that you have been with your boyfriend for a year suggests that you both have the maturity to commit to a relationship. Many seventh and eighth graders are not as mature. Since you are feeling interested in other boys, I suspect that you feel something is missing in your current relationship. Try talking to your boyfriend about your feelings. He may be happy to make small changes that would keep you together. Give your boyfriend time to show his feelings for you. It is best not to rush your decision. See if the eighth grade boy has the patience and maturity to wait for you.
Although you love your boyfriend, you have many years to decide who to spend your life with. But, if you decide to become more than friends with the 8th grade boy, be prepared for the possibility that he may not be ready for a long-term relationship. Also, be careful not to ignore your friends while making this decision. Your friends can be great support when relationships with boys do not turn out as planned.

jbdreamer answered Friday September 24 2004, 1:36 pm: Serious relationships are hard at this age, no matter how much you are in love with him, you feelings will change. In 5 years, you are going to be a different person, and so will he. This is your time to grow and experiance life. Stay with your boyfriend if you must. But if you are having feelings for another guy, it may be a good time to explore that and see what else life and relationships have to offer. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]

"i REALLY love my boyfriend, and id do anything too stay with him and im scared to let go of him cause i cant live without him"
umm duh.. don't do anything, stay with your man..and let the other guy know you can only be friends, if he can't except that then screw him. don't let him ruin your great relationship... especially after a year. that's a long time, especially for junior high relationships. =)

MFS answered Friday September 24 2004, 9:45 am: Well, I will go so far as to guess that you most likely are able to live without him, as you lived without him before you met.
Also, love is a fleeting and ever changing thing. And it sounds like you're in the middle of one of those changes. While in the moment it seems like a huge deal, it really isn't. This is why having committed relationships at your age isn't the best idea, because your heart and mind are changing so quickly. The odds that you'll live forever with your current boyfriend are essentially slim to none. If you feel that you're being tugged towards someone else, you should at least explore the option while being honest with yourself and the guy you are currently with.

Roxybabii922 answered Friday September 24 2004, 9:42 am: Whenever you start thinking about the other guy just remind yourself that you have a boyfriend and how much he (you boyfriend) means to you, that should atleast stop you from flirting or something [ Roxybabii922's advice column | Ask Roxybabii922 A Question ]
mysticpixie05 answered Friday September 24 2004, 9:42 am: well for one your still young. you need to explore your options. if you are really really likeing the guy in 8th grade and you know you can have a chance with him then explaint o your boyfriend that you care alot about him but you just need to get with someone else to know if your feeling about him are really true and are really all that strong about him. i hope this helps you. and good luck with everything [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
