I've been dating my boyfriend for about 10 months now, and i love him dearly. Nobody has ever cared about me like he has. We've hit our rough patches, but always manage to come back to each other. I trust him completely, and he trusts me. He goes to a private school and lives about 20 minutes from me. But this hasn't hindered much of the relationship.
However, at the beginning of our relationship i had met another guy from my own school, a year older. Since i met this kid (around december of last year) i've had a mini "crush" on him. We both showed quite the interest in each other. This year for some reason, it must have gotten back to him that i really had a little thing for him, and he is still interested in me but knows i have a boyfriend and respects that i'm off boundaries.
But now i'm crushed on the inside, but i know i shouldn't.. It's almost like when i think about this other kid, i feel like i'm single and i'm being rejected..
I love my boyfriend.. but this extra desire is driving me nuts and sometimes i feel really selfish and rude for even feeling these emotions...
how do i cope when i see this other boy everyday but my boyfriend isn't there to get my mind in line?

The thing is, your mind is in line! You haven't done anything about your feelings for him. That's all that matters. It's okay and natural to look at other guys. Pretending that you don't is silly. Control what you can control. Worrying about things that are out of your control will only frustrate you. As long as you keep your actions in line there is nothing, nothing, nothing for you to worry about here! Enjoy looking at attractive guys...I'll bet your boyfriend looks at attractive girls too. You chose each other though. As long as you are true to each other and are still attracted to each other, you're fine! Good luck. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
