I do love her but know she isn't the one!

Question - (9 May 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 May 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I don't know what to do. I'm in love with two girls. One of them is a friend of mine and the most amazing girl I've ever met. The other is my on-again off-again girlfriend of three years.

I've been contemplating breaking up with my girlfriend for awhile now but I'm scared. I've already broken up with her twice and if I do it again all of our friends (not to mention my family who loves her) will hate me.

I do love her but I know she isn't THE one. We don't have any common interest. I'm going to college to be a writer, she hates to read. I want to travel around the world and live in Europe, she wants to settle down in Suburbia. I'm so smart she doesn't understand what I'm talking about half of the time.

But the other girl is simply amazing. She is totally adventurous, she enjoys to read, and she can keep up with me in conversation. Not to mention she's beautiful, talented and the most caring, kind, mature person I've ever met. But we are just friends. I don't think she even likes me like that.

What should I do? Should I just love the one I'm with? Or should I put everything on the line to be with someone else?

I've been where you are. I was with a guy for 3 years and I did love him but I got introduced to one of his friends and realised that I had more in common with him than my boyfriend and started falling for him, which then made me realise that my boyfriend wasn't the one for me. I told the other guy how I felt about him and unfortunatly (unfortunate at the time anyway) he didn't feel the same. We're still friends though. I broke up with my boyfriend telling him everything, and even though I didn't get the other guy I'm happy that I'm no longer in a relationship that seemed to be going nowhere. I think that you should tell your friend how you feel about her and see how she feels about you. It's then up to you whether you want to be with your girlfriend still. But you both want totally different things so maybe it'd be better for you to end it and then find someone who's compatible. Supposing of course that your friend doesn't feel the same. You sound like a great guy though. I hope you get the girl ;-)
