Title:
Confused Should I take a risk on a New love
By: Belks13
I have been with my boyfriend now for over three years he was my high school sweet-heart as well as my best friend.I love him with all my heart but I can not ignore the feelings I have for another guy. I have known this guy for quite some time and all though I am not the best of friends with him I know so much about him. We hang out with the same group of friends and we are alike in many ways. I don't know if this is something I should pass up but I almost feel like we should be together. He is a very shy boy and I know that he would never make the first move but people have said that he seems to be interested in me as more than a friend.
I get a completely different feeling with him than I do with my boyfriend. Maybe it is just infatuation but this kid takes my breath away. I know that sounds a little cheesy but I really feel that way.
So that leaves me with two choices One stay with my loving boyfriend who treats me like a princess or take a risk and try something new. Its like a catch 22 I am afarid of losing the most amazing boyfriend/best friend ever but I am afaird of never taking the chance on someone who seems to be the perfect guy.(well, as close to perfect. No ones Perfect) I have only had one serious relationship and love and I feel that a part of me needs to date other people but another part of me feels that I should try to make this work. I am so confused! I cant have everything and I know that but I feel so guilty having strong feelings even a crush on another guy. I will never cheat on my boyfriend I have more respect than that. After asking my best friends I am still clueless. Please Help *****Confused*****

Well, you definitely have a decision to make here...
I'm not going to tell you who you should be with -- that's not my place. So instead, I'm going to ask you if you are happy, I mean REALLY happy with this boyfriend of yours. If you're so content in this relationship, then why are your eyes wondering towards another guy? Even IF in the scenario that you do break things off with your boyfriend -- there's no guarantee that things will work out or last with this other guy. It's a total risk should you choose to make that decision, but one you must make if you feel the need to see other people. Your boyfriend may be a great guy, but it's not right to you nor him if you are wanting to date other people and see what's out there -- you are, after all, very young. However, only break things off if you truly feel strong enough about seeing other people. If not -- you may be making a mistake that you'll regret. All in all -- this is something you have to think about, weigh in the odds, and make a decision on.
