What would you do in this situation?

I've been dating this guy for a little over 2 months. When we first started going out I wasn't sure if I liked him as more than a friend. He can turn me on, but there's not crazy lust or any awesome spark like we're meant to be together. I really love him, but I'm not IN love with him. There's another guy I've dated before who I'm still in love with who still flirts with me who I know I want to be with in the end, and he's dating someone also. Sometimes when I'm not with my bf I find myself wishing I was single so I could flirt with other guys. He treats me wonderfully and he's an amazing guy though, and we have no problems at all in our relationship. I get along really well with his friends. People always tell me how cute we are together. He's not ugly but he's not very cute though, and people always say I'm a lot better looking than him (although that's kinda irrelevant). He says the sweetest things and just makes me feel like a great person. I never want to hurt him but I know I'm being unfair to him. When he tells me I'm beautiful all I can honestly say is "you're really sweet" but I wish I could return the compliment. I just don't know what to do.

Would you break up with him or not? If so, when?

    Okay. Follow your heart. It is cheesy, but it's TRUE.

    I think you should talk to your ex and see what he really wants. His girlfriend now, or to be with you again. He may have feelings for you if he's still flirting with you.

    I used to have this same problem, with the first bf I've ever had (middle 7th, or 8th grade, forgot which:P I'm in tenth grade now) He was a great guy, same description as your bf now, but I felt like he was more of a friend, and I wasn't sure I liked him more then a friend either. And everyone always said we were so cute together, he wasn't exactly physically attractive either...sounds like my situation a while ago xD I broke up with him, and we both found a bf and a gf who made us happy (for a bit at least) And realized we were better off as friends.

    I don't know if this helped exactly, but since I haven't seen you asking Q's on Yahoo in a while, and we used to talk, I thought I'd want to answer this and try to help xD Good luck.

    Do not listen to other people about your relationship. You are the only one who knows how you really feel. That said, it sounds as though you really aren't ready to settle down with one guy. You would be kinder to this guy if you tell him how much you like him and enjoy being with him but you feel that you would rather not be in an exclusive relationship just now. It may hurt him a bit but you could still date him--just not exclusively.
