i have a boyfriend, but i like someone else... what to do?

we're in 9th grade. my boyfriend is in the same grade as me, but the guy i like is a junior (not a popular junior, he's kind of shunned, i guess...) but i already say 'i love you" and stuff to my current boyfriend, and since he was my best friend for 2 years before we started dating, i definitely do not want to hurt him. i care about him just as much, but in a different way. he's also my first kiss.

are there any ways that i could let him down easy? i was thinking i would say that i still love him, but back to a friend way... or maybe suggest a break. we're going a little fast anyway... i thought i loved him but i guess i don't really know what love is. or can you love more than one person? i get that really giddy feeling around the other guy, but i feel comfortable around my current boyfriend more than anything else.

    Amen.

    Haha well it seems like you do have a good guy for a boyfriend. The other guy could just be an infatuation and a crush. That is normal. You need to decide if you really want to be with your boyfriend and have a relationship with him FIRST before you can decide what you want to do about boy #2. If the answer is yes, then you already solved the question about guy 2 but if the answer is that you aren't really sure if you are ready for this and you want to date around more first...well...be honest with yourself. There is no need to settle down right now.

    Do remember this: is the infatuation you have for the junior boy worth losing your boyfriend and best friend over? Remember that you don't know what it could be like to date this boy instead of your boyfriend.

    Well really it sounds like you love your boyfriend, but have lust for this junior---huge difference---just think about it a lot before you make a decision--remember, this junior may not like you,but don't stick with your BF if you really don't like him anymore

    End it with your BF if the other guy is worth it. But remember: you should never leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

    Date both of them. You're too young to be settled down with one.
