Hey guys. I have a girlfriend and we've been together for 15 months now. We're both in college but I am 2 years older. We've had our conflicts but have managed to get through it. I started dating girls since high school though none of them lasted for more than 3 months. So all of my friends cannot believe that we actually made it through more than a year thinking the fact that my girlfriend is not really good-looking compared to my ex's. (so I can also say that this relationship isn't made of lust.)

The problem is that I think I'm in love with someone else, a Korean girl. Since I started my college in this university, I have always had a crush on this girl. And LOL she is extremely pretty and the fact that she's in the university, proves that she's smart. I've been stalking her since the first day and my girlfriend knows about her and everything (its just a crush anyway). Until I decided to go and get her number. I got her number from a friend who is a student council in our university.

To cut the story short, we became friends then it came to the point that we are going to school together, cutting classes for lunch together and late night texting and other things. She's really nice and friendly.

I am sure that this Korean girl only treats me as a friend, nothing more, nothing less. But I just can't stop thinking about her. I already told my girlfriend about this, and we almost split. However every thing's going fine with my girlfriend now, but the feelings about this other girl haven't faded, if anything they're even stronger. I've even caught myself thinking about her during with my girlfriend, which is really weird.

I'm beginning to doubt if I can truly love my girlfriend if I'm getting a 'thing' on another girl. But if I don't love her then I don't know what it is, I'd never do anything to hurt her and can't imagine life without her now.

I am completely confused andIi do not know what to do.

Maybe you can help me find answers to my problem. And opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you find yourself being carried away by your feelings, then you back up, and examine yourself, your words, and your actions. When in a committed relationship, you sure better have some clear lines and boundaries of good behavior set for yourself.

And don't cross them. I think your boundaries are blurred, and you have come awful close to crossing those lines.

We cannot help the feelings we have for others, but we darn sure can control what we do about them.

Take love seriously.
What is it you want. Your girlfriend or this new girl?

How's your girlfriend feel about all of this? Is she good for you? Are you good for her?

"I started dating girls since high school though none of them lasted for more than 3 months"
Read that one back to yourself...

"if I'm getting a 'thing' on another girl."
Exactly.

Don't cheat. Be honest before. Either work it out or split.
Your girlfriend may be the one dumping you soon...
When she wakes up.

First off, I feel that you need to regroup and stop looking at this Korean lady as a potential GF. In essence, you're cheating on your current girlfriend.
IMO, if you're having issues with your current girlfriend and are still together, then take that as a 'sign' that your hearts are in the right place. Life is hard Bud, and the one that you (or I would) want, is the one that has proven her commitment to the relationship.
In my short 47 years of living on this earth, I have learned a very good principle with thich I lead my life by: If I am in a relationship, I do not get involved with other females other than the ones that I already knew. If I have a friend who is involved with a woman, I committ my friendship to [him], and do not allow my friendship to extend to his girlfriend other than in a cordial way.

Make a choice of whether you want to keep what you have or stride for something else. Don't chaet. Also, being in college doesn't prove your smart, graduating does, being in there just means you think you are... jeje. However, "cutting classes for lunch together" proves that she is not that smart. So, focus on your studies as a priority, and then decide which female you would rather spend your time with.
