Question - (2 June 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 2 June 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been with my bf for a year now and for the first time I'm finding myslef attracted to other men. Well, one other man at least. There's a guy at work that I quite suddenly became attracted to recently, I can't stop thinking about him and fantasizing. Before I met my bf I was one of the lucky ones who always got the guy they wanted, and it pains me to know that if I wanted to I could have this guy too. Why do I like this guy and what can I do?

Think about it. There is a difference between having a crush on a nice piece of ass and being with someone you love, who loves you, with mutual respect and the chance for a great future.

So think about it. Is it worth sacrificing your amazing boyfriend, hurting him when he deserves love and respect, for a crush?

The best advice I can give is do get over yourself. There will be that guy someday that just isn't interested. That will be a rude awakening.

Guys aren't trophies, and they aren't like cars (you can't always exchange the current for a newer model). And if you decide that you want to go back to your ex? What if he's moved on, or knows that he can do better?

well i would say how would you feel if it was the other way around.

As you said your one of those lucky girls who can get what ever guy you want and thats maybe why your attracted to him so much. You no you can have him if you want but the question is do you really want him. I think you like the excitement and the chase and because you been with your boyfriend for a year there isnt that any more.

Just say you got with this guy would you then do the same to him as your doing now, if your having doubts i honestly think your not ready or shouldnt be in a relationship.

good luck
