Harry Castle agony auntIf you match with this friend mentally and emotionally, in a soul-mate kind of way, and there's physical attraction, I think you have answered your own question.

Matches like this rarely come along, and you would be foolish not to look into taking it further, possibly regretting it for the rest of your life.

This is not good news for your current boyfriend, but you must follow your heart, or you will forever be thinking "what if"?

I know from personal experience how magical a totally close and compatible relationship can be - it consumes you totally and there is no other feeling like it on the planet!

Well this is why we've evolved into a dating society!

You get with one person and realize you better fit someone else, break up and get with someone else. We keep doing this until we find "the one."

I'd say it is normal for you to find that you like someone else, but not a good sign for your current relationship with your boyrfriend. It's one you may want to reconsider, as it's really not fair for him if you're emotionally caught up in his friend. People are physically attracted to other people all the time, but it's when your emotions play a part that things get sticky and start to hurt others.

So you need to make a decision and do it quickly! Good luck. I hope you find what makes you happy.

dan026 agony auntYes it is normal. When one is in love with another, the individual can still be attracted to others. It is only a problem if you act on your urges. Maybe your current bf isn't the one you should be with but you must seriously contemplate your desires and try to reason why you are so attracted to the other guy, as well as your bf and then make a decision on which guy to pursue. Please, if you choose the other guy then break up with your bf before you even try to pursue a new relationship.
