Ok here’s the situation, I’ve been seeing this girl for awhile now (over 2 years) Indeed I’m very happy and I’d say very much so in love. She makes me happy and I want to be with her, but recently I’ve met this other girl, I wouldn’t say she’s perfect for me but she’s someone I could see myself dating. Being around her makes me “funny” inside, and I think about her a lot as well as my own girlfriend. I know there is nothing wrong with my relationship now and I don’t want to cheat on her, but I don’t know. I feel a connection to this other girl, I enjoy being around her and even get a bit jealous when she’s talking about dating other guys… I haven’t known her really long; I’ve spent time with her as friend’s one on one to get away from other people. I’d never dream to cheat on my angle but these feelings make me feel so torn and confused I just wanted to know if I’ll get past these feelings or will I have to detach myself from this other girl to get rid of them and just return to complete certainty with my love. Do I really have feelings for this other girl? Or is it more or less a fad were we get along but I’m more so in love with the feelings I get with her attention? Does this mean there will be problems with me and my current girlfriend in the future? There have never been in the past… I’m so confused!

I had a friend once, who he loved his girlfriend, but he wanted something different before he was older and wanted to be married, and he kissed another girl and it jus didnt feel right, and proved to him that he did want his girlfriend for the Rest of His Life she was the only one for him ( so maybe you try to experience someone new, it might help you realize) granted im a girl and would really like that, but maybe it would give her a chance to experience someone new if only to realize ya'll cant live without each other :) i dont think i really helped, but im new at this :D
Good Luck! [ Owmypen15's advice column | Ask Owmypen15 A Question ]
OrionsFire answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 10:36 pm: Whoa, bad situation. You've been with your girlfriend for a while now and things may be somewhat stagnant (or...you could be used to how things are) and this other girl sparks excitement in you again. This in no way means you should run and date this other girl, 2 years from now you would be in the same situation.
If you feel like something will develop from hanging out with this girl, then I suggest you only spend time with her in a group. It isn't fair to your girlfriend to have this other girl waiting on the sidelines incase your relationship falls through. You need to really analyze your relationship and see where it is going from here, 2 years is a lot of time if you are young, but it can be ruined in one day. Definitally don't let your hormones ruin what you have now...if you are meant to be with this other girl, things have a way of working themselves out.
