Question Posted Saturday December 11 2004, 7:03 pm
i'm really confused right now. my boyfriend and i have been going out for a really long time, and i love him more than anything. but i find myself wondering what it would be like to just have like a few week fling with some other guy. my current bf is the only guy i've ever dated, so the only relationship i've known has bee like a 2 year one. i don't want to do anything to ruin what i have with my bf, but i don't know what i should do about these feelings. we don't live near each other (we're both in college), so technically, if i wanted to i could date someone else for a little, because we're not ACTUALLY dating...but we are...it's complicated. im not sure if the reason i'm feeling like this is just because i miss him, or if i really am curious about having another relationship. what should i do??? i want to meet more guys, but i'm really shy and i'm not good at approaching them. i need some good advice. thanks to anyone who answers.

You never know, he might be feeling these things too. I mean, college is all about experiences, and I think you should try to do as much as you can and see all sorts of different guys through it. If you end up missing your bf really really badly, you could call him up and see how he's liking the break.. but I can't guarantee that he'll be waiting for you when you're done flinging.

Maybe you should tell your boyfriend that your not really ready to be "tied down" just yet. Maybe ask for a break and get out dating other people. There's nothing wrong with playing the feild, your a teenager, your suppose to be like that. Your not suppose to be tired down to one guy all your life, untill your married. So yah, give it a shot and see how it goes. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
