Question - (27 July 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 27 July 2007)
A female United States age 26-29, *oggirl2007 writes:

Hello! I have a bit of a problem.

I am in a relationship, and to tell the truth, I am loving it. My boyfriend seems to be the perfect guy for me, and all my friends think we're going to be engaged by the end of high school. He's sweet, honest with me, surprises me with loads of gifts and I can talk to him about almost anything

Okay, the problem is this: Even though I have a great bf who might be the guy for me (I highly doubt it though), I have had crushes on a few guys for quite awhile. Most of them go away after a few weeks, or until they do something that makes me regret liking them in the first place.

Okay, so you're probably going, "Oh it's normal to have crushes, even if you are dating someone at the time." (If you aren't then I probably need to stop listening to everything my friends say)

But there is this one guy. He is one of my best friends, ever since third grade. I started crushing on him in 5th grade.

6th grade came and I wanted so badly to ask him out. But I hesitated, thinking several things like, "If we ever break up, our friendship will be ruined" or other things that had to do with our friendship. I was scared, and eventually I put it off until I had the choice between my best friend and another guy I had become slight friends with who I was starting to see signs of flirting when we sat next to each other in Science. So I chose the new guy (who I eventually found out that he and I went to Kindergarten together, but that's a different story).

And now, I have recently found out that my old crush is moving, and each time I walk past his house each day to go to my summer babysitting job, I hate to see that sign, and feel a part of me slowly being taken away.

So should I just let this crush go, like he will soon be? Or should I try and tell my boyfriend I need a break and make an attempt with my old friend?
