I also can't have 'deep' conversations with him, he also has poor personal hygiene and manners. I've (in a nice way!) pointed out these things, and he said he'd change, but he hasn't really.We did break up for about a week a couple of months ago. But, I felt sad and guilty so we got back together again. Although, I think I only felt sad at the idea of breaking up. It's just difficult to break up as he's the only friend I have at college :/.At the same time I really like a stranger, I just feel so ridiculous, but from what I know about him, he seems to suit me more than my boyfriend. He probably doesn't like me in return, but I have noticed we look at each other sometimes.I just have no idea what to do; leave my boyfriend and risk being sad and lonely, to just carry on for now, or perhaps even pursue the other boy. I just feel silly for asking it, but I can't help liking him! :'(Thank you so much if you answer

 I think you should end it with your bf based solely on the fact that you are unhappy and things are not changing. You are young and in a place ideal for meeting new people and I would take advantage of this instead of feeling stuck in a relationship that will probably never get any better. You don't want to realize it years down the road when it is even harder to end.
I think you feel like you don't want to be alone and it does always seem difficult to be without the person in the beginning but it is the only way to experience something new.
So keep you head up and get out into the world. If you like this new guy then get to know him as a single girl where you two can let your feelings guide you. You don't want to miss out on a great thing because you are tied down and unhappy.
