Question Posted Wednesday February 23 2005, 8:41 pm
My boyfriend and i have been going steady for almost a year. We have had our differences and when we fight i usually turn to one of my guy friends. Lately, my guy friend and i have been flirting a lot and i am really starting to like him. i really like my boyfriend, but my thoughts haven't been about him lately. i think about my other guy friend all of the time. i don't know if i should break it off with my boyfriend or not. i don't want anybody to get hurt; what should i do? Please help!

If you are starting to have more feelings for your guy friend, rather than for your boyfriend, then it's best if you break up with your boyfriend because it sounds like your relationship with him is dying off. Since you think about your guy friend all the time and most of them haven't been about your boyfriend, then you should break up with him and start a relationship with your friend. Make sure that once you break up with your boyfriend that you are sure that you will go out with you friend because if you don't, then you just made the worst decision. If you don't want anyone to get hurt, then you should not go out with either of these guys. It's not fair for your boyfriend that you have feelings for someone else and not mostly about him. Just think about everything and decide what you think is right.

-are you willing to risk a friendship? some people dont want to take the risk
-are you sure the fire with your bf is burning out? its ok to have thoughts about other guys as long as your bf is number one
making a list of each guy with the positives and negatives always helps.
It sounds like your relationship with your current bf is getting old.Relationships come and go so i think its ok to dump him. Tell him the truth..tell him you want to be friends but you've been having feelings for someone else and its not fair to be dating him when u have these strong feelings for another guy [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
