I am going to be a sophomore in college now and he is going to be a junior at different schools that are an hour away. We both love each other very much. But there is just one problem. I am starting to have feelings for a guy I met at school. My boyfriend knows I used to have a crush on the guy but he doesn't know that I still do. I thought going away for the summer and not seeing the other guy would make it better, but it hasn't. How do I know if my boyfriend is the right one. I want to know for sure and I am scared the only way to know is to test waters. But what if a relationship with the other guy doesn't work out. I will be left all alone. Help please what do I do.

I'm in the UK so not sure what age sophomore is, I think it's still pretty young isn't it? You may feel an expectancy to stay with your childhood sweetheart but there's a whole world out there and you're on a voyage of discovery. As an adolescent you'll feel attracted to many different people. It's perfectly natural and part of growing up. At this age it'd be rare to find the 'right one' and if you're having feelings for another boy, chances are he's not. Or not yet anyway. Let yourself go out, have fun, meet new people and experince new things. You will not be left alone if it doesn't work out as there are loads of people out here that you could be attracted to. Life at your stage isn't all about being with a guy anyway, so don't worry if you do spend some time being single. That's cool too and you can hang out with friends. Don't rush love or realtionships, you have plenty of time to worry about such things. Don't grow up too fast, have fun!
