Question Posted Wednesday October 28 2009, 1:26 pm
So me and this guy, mike, were together in June and had a great month, but i went to a party, drank a bit much and kissed another guy, zack. We had ups and downs and he was gonna forgive me but i told him i wanted a break, i didn't tell him why but it was because i fell for zack. Mike ended up breaking up with me a few days later. In Sept sometime me and zack broke up for different reasons but i realized i really was in love with mike. mike and i got back together, but not really officially openly bf/gf, i love him and he loves me, we talk about our future together. i went to another party without mike and i felt like i couldn't dance with guys and i just wanted to flirt. i haven't really been with other guys besides mike and zack i wanna marry mike one day, but right now i just wanna have fun, flirt with guys. and i feel wrong for saying that, i regret cheating on him so much because i never wanted to be that person. what do you think i should do?

If this is the case then you really don’t need to worry about putting pressure on yourself. You are going to date different people and Mike will not be your last boyfriend. I’m not saying that you should go around cheating, but don’t be so hard on yourself for wanting to go out and have a good time. You should just be clear and up front with him and any other guys you choose to talk to or date. Let them know that you are not looking for anything too heavy and that you are just enjoying yourself. There is nothing wrong with that unless you are being misleading. One day you may fall for someone and decide that you want to settle down for good and then you will only be with them. That will only happen when you decide that you are ready and that it is something that you want. Until then, just have fun and be cautious about the choices you make.
