Awkwardness? Kinda long, sorry. ^^
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?

If it felt real, you were probably doing a good job. Don't over rehearse it. Be absolutely sure not to neglect your boyfriend during this time because his friends will probably give him a really hard time about it. Bake extra cookies, call him on the phone, whatever. It is just a play, and that is part of your character. You are just acting. If your boyfriend isn't bothered by it, you have a keeper.

tell him about the scene so that way he knows beforehand from you and he doesn't see it for himself or find out some other way. he should be able to understand since you really have no choice but express to him how you don't really want to do that scene to show your motives and i'm sure he'll be ok with it.

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 : )

If you don't like him it's no big deal. This shit is going to happen, especially with the lead in the school musical. If your boyfriend gets upset, reasure him you don't have feelings for the dude. He may still have his doubts, but come valentines day he'll see that you're with him and not the guy you had to kiss. It will all work out, just make sure you tell your boyfriend the truth.. he's going to find out sooner or later anyways. And make sure you give him just a little bit of extra lovin' to calm his thoughts.
Peace

Sorry I did misinterpret what you said. Basically you are feeling bad about kissing this guy because you feel like your cheating on your boyfriend. Don't! If your boyfriend is an understanding guy than he will know that you love him and when you are acting on stage let him know that you'll be thinking of him.

Well, I don't think you're going to feel better about it either way. Our School did "Our Town" And my friend Kyle had to kiss the stage manager's girlfriend...and they just both ignored it. Neither of them had feelings for each other. A kiss can be just that. The only way you're going to feel better about it, is if you just...tell your boyfriend about it. It'll help your guilty conscience that doesn't really need to be. :-) Hope I helped.

Thats a pretty hard situation, because if your guy found out, he will pobably become jealous, but you do what you have to do, I mean this wasn't a choice was it? Even if it was, you wouldn't have known you were going to end up kissing him. But you just need to let him know calmly that you have no feelings for him and you wanted a fake kiss, but the director disagrees, at least you tried. And if hes somewhat upset, just try to be there for him until he knows, and don't yell at him for getting jealous if he does. I hope he doesn't, but your not wrong at all, and its ok to feel akward and a little hesitent about it.

It's totally okay to feel weird and bad about it. It does feel like you'd be cheating on your boyfriend. But just remember, it's only a play and it's not a real kiss with feelings. Just tell your boyfriend that you have to kiss this guy and you have no feelings for him, it's just a simple kiss. Your boyfriends going to understand, don't worry. You've been together for so long so he should trust you!
