You are attracted to Dave because he's exciting, and attracted to Steve because he's comfortable. One day you'll meet a guy who's both; that's the one for you.

It doesn't sound like Dave can love you; sounds like he feels like you're exciting, too, or maybe comfortable, and he doesn't want to be the loser between two guys, but he'll never be a good dad for your baby (he couldn't even handle his own, why would he handle Steve's?

As for Steve, just be honest with him. It's possible that your feelings will change for him someday, but why trap yourself in something wrong for you, and why tie up his heart when someone else could love him? Tell him the truth, and as long as he's a good guy, he has a right to the baby, as well.

In the meantime, you're going to be a single mom, and your life is really going to change. Take care of yourself, and get some information about birth control! Then you can date people, and look for someone at once exciting and comfortable. He's out there!

Follow your heart but you've got to remember that you've got a baby on the way. On one end of the equation you have got Steve who is your unborn baby's father but you don't love him so that doesn't work out. On the other end of the equation there is Dave which you love but has got a girlfriend. If Dave does love you he really should leave his girlfriend. If he does leave his girlfriend and get back together with you would he be able to love and care for your and another man's baby? If not then put them both behind you. If so and if you think that this time your relationship will work then give it another try. But remember to not worry if you decide to be on your own.

AskEve agony auntIt seems to me you want David for the sexual chemistry you had with him. You have to grow up! You have a baby on the way and Steve loves you. You said you loved him but you can't truly love 2 people at the same time (no matter what you hear.) You have to think... "what does David have to offer me and my baby?" "Would he make a good father?" "How would he even feel about me going back to be with him with someone else's child?" And of course "how would Steve feel if I told him I was leaving him?"

Only YOU can sort this out. My advice to you is to stick with Steve, he seems a really nice person and if the sex isn't all that then it's up to YOU to spice that up. ;o) It's entirely up to you love.

eyeswideopen agony auntGeeze Louise, talk about mixed up! You need to sit down by yourself and do some soul searching here. Sounds like neither one is right for you. When you are with one you think of the other. I don't think you truly are happy with either guy. I guess I would cut both of them free and keep looking for Mr. Right. Of course you unwisely have included a baby into this quagmire so Steve will be in the picture for the child's sake for years to come. But I wouldn't just settle for someone if didn't love them with my whole heart.
