For me, I dated my boyfriend for a year, and then I met a new guy that I was not only attracted to, but I really honestly liked him more than my boyfriend, which is hard for me to admit because I feel so bad about it. I broke up with my boyfriend for the other guy, but then when the other guy didn't show his interest anymore, I was left alone, so I tried to get back with my boyfriend.
I think that this is what you should avoid. If you like another guy more than your boyfriend, you know deep down that your relationship with your boyfriend is not really going to last much longer, and that you need to break it off. I am sure that you care about your boyfriend, but seriously, if you're considering breaking up with him, it's time to just do it. You may be afraid to hurt him, or that you will get hurt, and yes this will happen, but it's better than staying with him just so that you're not alone or so that you're not hurt. And please don't get back with your boyfriend solely because the other guy rejects you. (not saying he will, but if he does, i mean.) I know that you like both of them, but like the other person that answered said, you probably shouldn't be with either of these guys. The one guy - your boyfriend - just doesn't do it for you (since you aren't 100% dedicated to him), so you probably shouldn't waste more time with him. The other guy - your boyfriend's friend - is pretty much playing games. "he didn't even mention the idea of the two of us dating." but "we started getting touchy, then i find out he tells my boyfriend lies about my boyfriend"...does this really sound like boyfriend material?
My suggestion is that you stay single for a while until you find a guy that you really like that likes you back. [ dntletitgo2urhead's advice column | Ask dntletitgo2urhead A Question ]
Rene5009 answered Saturday September 25 2010, 11:17 am: In my opinion I don't think you should date either of them, you said you like your boyfriend's friend more, if thats the case you shouldn't be with your boyfriend anymore, you should be with someone you really like..however you said your boyfriend's friend lied to try to break you two up, to me I wouldn't want that kind of person to be my boyfriend, but of course i don't know him personally so i can't exactly say, so heres another option, dump your boyfriend and take a chance, your boyfriend's relationship won't go anywhere because you like someone more than him, and i'm pretty sure your boyfriend's friend wants to date you :) if a guy tells you how he feels about you, it usually means he wants the relationship to go further..plus he tried to break you and your boyfriend up thats a big sign that he does wanna date you.
