I need some serious help.
Okay, I'm 17/m and was hit by cupids arrow about a year and a half ago. However, recently my gf, that I'm still completely in love with, has gone out of town and out of reach (3 hour drive with no car working full time at a restaurant) for the entire summer.
Now, there's this friend of mine. She's very cute in her own way and because of mine and her past relationship were really flirty when were by each other. The thing is I can't control myself when I'm close to her and I go completely nuts (out of my mind) and do things I would never even think about with any other woman (except my gf). I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how do I keep myself from having to make that decision without hurting anyone.
P.S. I'm still extremely in love with my gf as far as I've told her I want a family with her.
If that's the case, then STAY AWAY from that girl! If you're scared you'll get carried away and do something you'll regret later, then don't even put yourself in the situation to do so. If you ever feel tempted to do something you shouldn't, stop and think "Would this hurt my girlfriend? The girl I love with all my heart?"
You can still be friends with the girl as long as you can control yourself. If not, just stay away.
If you love your girlfriend as much as you say, this wouldn't be such a big deal. Stop and think about what makes YOU happy. If being with your current girlfriend isn't making you completely happy, change wouldn't be such a bad thing. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]

People who don't learn to control their impulses have to deal with unhappy consequences. You want us to believe that you love your girlfriend. Then act like it. Making sacrifices builds character. And character is what will come in handy when you are a family man. Because at any age, you could be confronted with temptation. A good start is to not be in this girls company, alone, or at all. That is how mature people, or people who don't want the hurt the people they say the love, handle things like this.
You're not the first person to be in this situation. Having to decide between love and lust. Love should win. Lust is temporary.

If you really love your girlfriend then you would be willing to make a few sacrifices for you and your girlfriend's relationship. [ You_Got_Advice's advice column | Ask You_Got_Advice A Question ]
