Please help!
I have been dating a younger guy for almost 5 months now. He is three years younger (20) and I feel like I have a lot more life experiences than him. He adores me and n a way we are both really good for each other. He has already talked about marriage, kids, etc. all things that would normally freak me out this early in the relationship but with him I am totally comfortable talking about it. Here is the problem:
I met him through my friend James. I have always had strong feelings for James, but have never told him how I feel. I even tried hooking james up with a couple of my girlfriends which totally sent the wrong message to him... right?! Well, I guess being the shy person I am I made myself believe that I had no chance with him and so when my boyfriend came around and made it crystal clear the way he felt about me I said, heck.. why not? I still hang out with James... and I still have feelings for him. Is this bad? I am so confused... I love my boyfriend but I can't help think about what my life would be like with this other guy who is my age. Yes, the age thing is vry hard at times...
Is it normal to think like this? I would hate to give up what I have with my boyfriend if there is nothing there with the other dude. My boyfriend and him are really really good friends which makes it even tougher.
PLEASE ADVISE! Agh :/
