Question - (11 July 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 12 July 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Ok well...

There's this guy in the year above who really likes me but I keep turning him down coz I like this other boy in my year I've liked since I was 10... well I really really love him...

So I eventually said yes to the boy who asked me out who is consequently my friend. I kept saying no not just because of the other boy but because I didn't want to ruin our friendship...

Well we've been going out for a week and I feel a little uncomfortable. I would rather be friends but can't bring myself to dump him... and I still like the other boy too... he's really really sweet but he's a bit protective and clingy which is bad coz I have loads of guy friends who I hang out with and hug all the time!

Yet when I'm with him I think "well maybe I do like him..." and I dont know what to do!

I like him but I dont love him... he's a really nice, good guy but i'm not sure what to do... this was why I didn't say yes! I mean I like him and all but I'm not sure

Should I keep going out with him? Or should I dump him? If so, what should I say?! I don't want to hurt his feelings. Please help... I'm really confused!

Helples agony auntI honestly believe telling the truth is the only thing you can do. Tell him, you are unsure of your feelings. This is true, you are confused about two boys. You need time to clear things up, to see how you truly feel about this guy. I don't think its right to be dating someone while having feelings for another at the same time. It isn't fair to him, or your heart.

P.S. About the whole being too attached, tell him that you have male friends and he has to learn to accept that without being jealous or insecure. There has to be a reason for his distrust, ask him about it to learn more about him?
