Shortacid agony auntThe other girl might not like you and then you will be single. Hold off on anything rash. Feel things out.

If you feel that your current relationship isn't going in the direction you have wanted it to, leave. Don't cheat thats a horrible thing to do to someone. In your age group, most relationships won't last.

(Only think about your girlfriend for this question, not about the other girl and how she could be better.)

My question is: Does this current girl make you happy? Is she trustworthy and loyal? Does she go out of her way to do things for you? And do you go out of your way for her?

Love isn't about the feeling in your pants, but the way the other person treats you and you them. Reciprocation.

Obviously guys are always looking at other women, its the mate selection instinct, same with women, however you have to make sure this girl of 13 yrs. likes you and its not something in your imagination. If you make a mistake, you will have no girlfriends and a lot of free time for a little while.

YummyMummy agony auntAs much as you dont want to hurt your girlfriend I think you need to re-evaluate your relationship with her. I think you should end things with your girlfriend so that you can a) make yourself available for the girl you say you love and b) as this isn't fair on your girlfriend. It may hurt her, but we all have to make some tough choices and this is yours.

This is a hard one.

You can be in love with someone, but you can never tell them because u have known them for so long and u guess they just see you as a friend.

I was in the same situation, I liked a guy i had known from a child, but have never said anything and trid to continue just as their friend. but it is very difficult if they have someone else and u have to see it!

It hurts, but if she is free and arent happy wit ur current GF, get out of the relationship, then bite the bullet, tell her u think a lot of her in more than a frindship way and see how she replies.

Good luck xXx Let me know how it goes ;-)
