This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Thank you all =]

He sounded very unhappy with me :S

I think it's cos I tell him I love him, but I could fancy another guy. It shouldn't matter anyway because we're only friends...

Lets call the person you're(or someone) is in love with X and the second person Y.

If one is already in a steady relationship with X, then it would be okay to fancy Y, just as long as you keep it to a lunch engagement(or dinner maybe). X will not like it if you're going and making out with Y. But he might not mind if you and Y talk together and things of that sort.

Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, it sounded better in my head.

Emivia agony auntI was in love with my ex boyfriend, but I always fancied Johnny Depp whilst I was with him.

It is possible. Being in love just means that you wouldn't be able to bring yourself to act on these attractions.

When I was with my boyfriend, had the lovely Johnny asked me out on a date, I would have said "no, sorry Johnny." with no second thought about it (well, not much of one anyway).

BUT NOW....

Johnny, where are you?

Emaz help agony auntIt is possible

Under any circumstances you can fancy other people

Most people are in love but they fancy other people too which is perfectly normal but this doesn't mean that they'll do anything with the person they fancy

SuperSammie agony aunti think it is possible.

like u can be sexually attracted to a number of guys, u can easily fancy someone.

but u can be in love with someone else.

but its up to you if u aknowledge the attractive guys wen ur in love.

like that saying 'look but don't touch'

basicly you can look at sum1 u find attractive but dont touch while your in love with sum1 else.

A female reader, lostone United States +, writes (12 August 2008):

You can be attracted to someone even if you love another person. You can even develop an infatuation with that person. But I think you can only really, deeply love one person at a time. Some will probably say that you can love two at once, but in your heart you know that one person has more of it than the other.
