Is it normal to look at other girls even though I love my amazing girlfriend?

Question - (5 July 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 July 2007)
A male United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend is amazing. She's smart, funny and I have a great time with her. She treats me like a king, gives me space and I can totally be myself with her. We've been dating for almost 2 years and living together for a year.

The problem is that I find myself very often checking out other girls and fantasizing about being sexual with other girls. I think my girlfriend is beautiful, but sometimes I find other girls more sexually attractive. I have not and would not ever cheat on my girlfriend.

Am I just having normal feelings that any guy has occasionally even if he's with the right girl? I'm 25, just graduated law school and most girls find me attractive, but do I want to trade the best relationship I've ever had for some hot unemotional one night stands? I love this girl and I know I could marry her and be happy, but I need to know if checking out other girls is normal no matter how much you love your girlfriend or if there is a problem here and maybe I need to consider being single for a while.

Please help!!

flower girl agony auntHey that is totally normal in fact i would say there is something wrong with you if you did not check out other women, like you say you would not be unfaithful to her so don't worry about it.

We are all attracted to things of beauty and the natural reaction is to look.

Take care.xx.

The short answer is: YES, this is normal.

The Long answer is: as long as you dont act upon your feelings then you are perfectly safe. just dont tell your girlfriend you are having these feelings. she might interpret this as you want to be with someone else.

if you are worried that an attractive girl will find you attractive then make sure she is aware that you are perfectly happy with your girlfriend, and she may back off. there is no problem being friends with an attractive girl as long as you both know there are boundaries.

i hope i have been some help.

sexi agony auntHi, you are a guy after all, soyes looking at other girls is normal but as long as you keep to strictly looking then it shouldn't be a problem.I dont think you should et your gf catch you looking at other girls as im sure she would not be too impressed, i know i would.

You are just "window shopping" with your eyes but just dont "laybye" okay?

Dont be unfaithful to her.
