| Hi petra i have been with my bf for nearly 4 months and love it when im with him. However when im not i start to feel for someone else and totally forget about him and any feelings i have for him. My bf is not at my school as he is older and has left so i do not see him in the day. Insted i see this other lad at school who i am begining to like more and more the more i speak to him. I Have got his number and so am starting to speak to him loadz more and the other day he told me he likes me to. i have liked him since before i was going out with my bf and we always flirt together. I no that i love my boyfriend and am totally head over heals when im with him, its just when im not i feel totally different. Also if im with him and love him so much then why do i like someone else ??? |

| It is hard to always feel loved up about someone, and when you’re not with them it’s normal not to think about them all the time. That said, if you are finding yourself more attracted to this other lad it may be the relationship you are in is coming to its end and it’s time to be with someone new. Or it might just be that you’re not getting what you want from your current relationship and are looking to this other lad to make you feel good. It’s normal to find other people attractive and even flirt with them while you are in a relationship, but if you are wanting to be with the other lad more then this is more than just flirting and maybe you should be with him instead. |
