I am a 17 year old girl and I just made a huge mistake. I have a boyfriend, but this other guy has been hitting on me, flirting like crazy... and last night I gave in. It was only a few kisses, nothing at all really. But I feel really guilty. He said he won't tell my boyfriend because he knows I still love him. But what do I do? I really do love my boyfriend, this was just a one night slipup... if I tell my boyfriend I'll probably get dumped, if I don't I feel guilty... but I'll still be with him which is the desired outcome. What do I do?

You did a wrong thing and you deserve to feel some guilt. If you tell your boyfriend, you feel better but he feels bad. I don't think you need to deliberately hurt your boyfriend so keep it to yourself. Feel the guilt and keep away from the other guy. If you feel he is going to say something to your boyfriend then confess, otherwise this is one case where I think you being honest will only hurt your boyfriend unnecessarily. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

If you never tell him then youll feel even worse about it later and you will end up acting all strange around him. So i would tell him and hopfully hell understand.

lilbitofheaven answered Sunday June 12 2005, 3:20 pm: Ok ive heard this one before ill give u 2 different pieces of advice... If it was the other way around what would you want him to do...would you not want him to tell you...2nd- What if other people saw you..what if someone else saw u wouldnt he be more hurt if he heard it from someone else..honestly i think you should tell him the whole story and tell him not to interupt..and then when your done..let him tell you what he wants to tell you..in the end you will feel better and he might not even break up with you...he might just be hurt and it might take awhile to build up the trust again..hope i help..xoxo [ lilbitofheaven's advice column | Ask lilbitofheaven A Question ]
Beccah answered Sunday June 12 2005, 2:26 pm: the best thing to do is just keep it to yourself. if you tell your bf then it mind lead to a breakup and if you still love him you prolly wouldnt want that to happen. but if you really feel comfortable with telling him, go ahead but keep in mind what could happen for anything you do.. and just dont do it again! hope i helped!
ForbiddeN answered Sunday June 12 2005, 12:16 pm: Whoa this one is really bad but you should tell your boyfriend if you really love him. He deserves to know and let me tell you if he loves you like he does then he will be mad for a while and you two might break up but he will soon forgive you and want you back. And that guy you should just leave him alone because you did it once and you might do it again. [ ForbiddeN's advice column | Ask ForbiddeN A Question ]

LuckyHugs812 answered Sunday June 12 2005, 11:54 am: my advice is to never lie about anything like this. it always turns out bad in the end. and for all you know this guy could get jealous or upset w/ you for some reason, and he could tell your b/f. you're best decision is to tell him as soon as possible, you don't want him to hear it from someone else. that would be way worse. good luck!

HeathaAa answered Sunday June 12 2005, 11:35 am: you deffinetly need to tell him. cheating is one of the worst things to do to someone and if he breaks up with you, quite frankly, you deserve it. not to be rude at all but cheating really can hurt a person!! explain what happened to your boyfriend, compare your feelings that you have for him with the feelings you have for the other guy. but you NEED to tell him!! hope everything works out for you [ HeathaAa's advice column | Ask HeathaAa A Question ]
russianspy1234 answered Sunday June 12 2005, 11:34 am: well would you rather feel guilty or get dumped? i really think you shouldnt tell him, you seem like your sorry and you say it wont happen again so there isnt really a point. [ russianspy1234's advice column | Ask russianspy1234 A Question ]
