I have a boyfriend but also a crush on someone else...?
Question Posted Thursday December 22 2011, 2:16 am
Hi, I'm 14 and recently started dating one of my really good male friends. I really like him, and want to stay with him for a while. But I have had a crush on another guy who I've talked to like four times the whole year, and it didn't subside when this guy asked me out...but I had a crush on him too. What I'm saying is, is it ok for me to have a crush on someone else while I'm dating someone I like as well, as long as I don't make a move on this crush? I barely talk to this crush and there is no action between us, but I can't help liking him as well as my boyfriend. Is this okay?

I once dumped a boy and realised just how much I really loved him. Now he is not so much my guy friend and momments are really awkward between us. All I'm saying is it's ok to be feeling these feelings but don't dump a really good BF!

AdviceMistress answered Thursday December 22 2011, 9:28 am: I mean as long as you don't do anything about it I don't see anything wrong with it. However, I believe if you're with someone you only have eyes for them. I've been with my boyfriend for two years and I can tell you right now I only want to be with him. I've known him for 4 years and no one else has sparked my interest as he has. When it comes down to it you have to decide what you want and you have to be fair. If you're going to stay with your boyfriend than there needs to be respect for him. I'm sure you'll figure it out but you have to understand that having feelings for someone while with your partner for someone else isn't fair to your partner. Believe me I've done it. Not a good idea! [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
lightoftruth923 answered Thursday December 22 2011, 6:01 am: Ok in my opinion, I think it's fine. Only as long as it doesn't interfere with your relationship with your current boyfriend. Like as long as you don't spend a lot of time with the other guy, or try to get with him or hook up with him or anything it should be ok because maybe those feelings will go away. You also wouldn't want to lose your boyfriend just because you have a petty crush on some other boy you barely talk to right?
If this guy is always on your mind when you're with your boyfriend, then you have a problem but if not, you should be fine. [ lightoftruth923's advice column | Ask lightoftruth923 A Question ]
guhzmin answered Thursday December 22 2011, 4:53 am: Well, think about it this way.... would you want your boyfriend having a crush on someone else while being in a relationship with you? Definitely not, but I understand completely what you're going through. The best thing to do in this situation is to just isolate yourself from the other guy and appreciate the good relationship you already have with your boyfriend! Trust me, those feelings will soon go away, and if they don't, then you might want to reevaluate your relationship with your boyfriend. Good luck girl!
