I love my boyfriend and would never ever cheat on him or abuse our relationship, but lately I've been looking (key word, looking) at another guy. This other guy happens to be one of his best friends. The reason is that his best friend likes me, and when someone likes me I become somewhat attracted to them. I have no intentions of hooking up with him or anything, but I still feel crappy. I mean, come on...I've been fantasizing about his best friend. I don't even like him that much...if anything, this is just a simple case of lust. I am very much in love with my boyfriend. Why am I having thoughts like this? Does it make me a bad person? Should I wait a few months before assuming our relationship is shot to hell? Maybe this is just a little crush. Please tell me I'm not the only one in this situation. Is this normal for a teenage girl?

I understand your situation totally. My bf of a year and a half are doing so great right now. We now have some distance (about 500 miles) between us but we e-mail and talk all the time. We both totally trust each other. One of his close friends I have lust for as well. The guy likes me and I know. I don't act on that because I know a lustful encounter or two is not worth losing what I already have. I have no complaints for my bf but its just human nature to be sexual. You're not going through anything unnatural.

Trust me girl, it happens to the best of us. I've been with my bf for a year and a half now and i still find myself checking out other guys once and a while. I'm madly in love with my bf-but it happens. I wouldnt get too worked up about it if you're only thinking about other guys-that's definately normal.... :)
