inlovewifnoone answered Sunday June 12 2005, 4:37 am: Alright, just cause you have a boyfriend doesnt mean you may not end up liking someone else..you cant control your feelings..its physically impossible you may tell yourself you dont like him and what not but that wont change the fact that you do..so what i would do is write him a letter and tell him not to read it till hes on a plane/or in the car (whichever he is taking to move) and then tell him to write back and mail it to you or something. or you can always just tell him face to face or on the phone..let me know how things work out and good luck..<3 Sabina [ inlovewifnoone's advice column | Ask inlovewifnoone A Question ]

I strongly believe in this quote. Don't throw around the word love like a hot potater. lol. It's a special word and only one guy deserves to hear it from you.
So don't say you are madly in love with your boyfriend if you say you love some other dude.
Personally, I think you may BELIEVE you love this guy moving, but you don't REALLY. Plus, he's moving, so what can you do about it? He'll be gone forever anyway. So I'd say, don't let out a peep about him and stick with your boyfriend.
You need to decide who you really love and only choose one. You can't love your boyfriend and like someone else at teh same time. So decide now. Even if the other guy is moving, liking him shows that you don't care about your boyfriend as much as you thought. So choose now. Don't put it off either, because the longer you wait, the more hurt your boyfriend will be. If you decide your boyfriend is not the one for you, just sit down with him, and gently talk to him about it. It'll hurt him more the longer you wait so just do it. Even if you think you LOVE your boyfriend but still have feelings for someong ELSE or even if you're not SURE if you love boyfriend, you need to break up with him. Because chances are, if you aren't sure you probably don't love him. And I'm sure the last thing you want to do is break your boyfriend's heart even more by leading him on.
If you really think you love your boyfriend and you decide you don't want to break up with him, you need to spend more time with him. Get to know him even better and get that other guy COMPLETLY out of your head. That's the least you can do for him. And even then, if you decide you still don't LOVE your boyfriend, it's time to break up with him. Dating is about experiencing new things, trying things out, bonding with someone, and finding what you need and want. You don't have to be confined to one person forever, you are free to date people to find your soul mate.
And like I said, the minute you find out he's not the one you love, you need to break up with him and save him more heart ache. But if you do decide he is the one that gets ALL of your love, get the other guy out of your head and spend more time with your sweetie.

Maybe you'Re not "in love" with him at all? PeRhaps the feelings youR having is the puRe want to HOLD ONTO him and not lose him in the move, you see what I'm saying? Just tell him you think veRy highly of him, and you have gReat hopes of keeping the fRiendship up! Chin up; things will be okay!!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
MADAME_H0LLYWO0D answered Sunday June 12 2005, 12:57 am: Take it from another Hopeless Romantic.
I think you should go for it. I mean you never know this guy could turn out to be your soul mate. It's normal to have feeling like you are having. If he moves away then it wont really matter, he will be in another state knwoing that you like him and you will be able to move forward in your relationship with your boyfriend. If you dont tell this guy how you feel and then he leaves you are probably going to regret it.
Good Luck.

poa answered Sunday June 12 2005, 12:56 am: You may just be feeling that because hes leaving and you feel you are losing the relationship therefore the significance of the last moments arises, its probably not love, and since hes moving anyway. It may be best not to say a word. [ poa's advice column | Ask poa A Question ]
