More Than This wrote:I fall in love with people at the wrong time...
I met this guy online and he didn't know it was me talking to him, he thought I was a friend of mine. Anyway, we were talking about me and he admitted that he wanted to ask me out, but he was too shy to and that he loved me more than just a sister (Cause I said that we were brother and sister). He's gay yet I think I turned that around. Problem is is that I have a boyfriend already, he is a few years older than me, and lives on another continent. Plus...I like him back. I know that I probably shouldn't because then again I still love my boyfriend. I don't know what to do about them though. My boyfriend and I get into little fights sometimes, are kind of distant at some moments, and he upsets me sometimes. The other guy, Z, well I already mentioned it earlier. Please help me! -drops down onto knees at your feet-
No one can tell you which will work out and which won't.
No one can tell you which guy would make you happier.
You mention things about your boyfriend - no relationship is flawless. It is a relationship, after all, which is comprised of separate, different individuals with their own minds and hearts. You will never agree 100% and even if you did, that would probably feel dull and not worth your time. If he makes you truly unhappy, then maybe it's time to end it, regardless of whether you have another guy in mind.
Also I personally disapprove if you were flirting with this other guy online. Does he even know you have a boyfriend? That kind of dishonesty feels dirty and unhealthy to me. So this guy says he would give a long distant relationship a try. Does that mean you would also want to try? Do you truly feel he wants to have a relationship with you?
Decisions in life are hard. You get attached to people and you don't want to risk burning bridges and regretting it. I understand that. But I do find it personally very frustrating that many of the posts on here are basically seeking someone to decide between 2-3 guys for them. No one can make these decisions for you. I don't know you. I don't know your relationship with your boyfriend. I don't know if you are still clinging to the few good things of it when really you should end things, or if you are over reacting to some normal little bad instances. And who knows about the online guy? Maybe he'll turn out to be great, gay, a fraud, a liar, a lover, a best friend...
Like many others before you, you wonder if you should take the leap. Whether you should stay on solid ground where you are, with the boy you know, both good and bad of it, or whether you should take that jump into the abyss of possibility and risk and the unknown. It may provide new ways to be happy or new ways to be disappointed. Likely, it will provide a combination of both, just as any relationship does. People are not always so black and white as to be 'better' than one another - sometimes they are simply different. I love my brothers. They are all different and I couldn't possibly say which is the best or which I love the most. Sometimes it's just like that.
So just.. give it some hard thinking. Find some questions to ask yourself, such as the ones I have posed. Only you can decide the path, and only you can later decide if it was 'the right one' or not. Just don't get too caught up in 'what ifs' and forget to cherish who you have or what you have experienced that's made you who you are now.
