Am I an awful girlfriend?

[savealife723]

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over six months. He's really serious and sees us getting married one day. He knows I'm the one for him because we've been constantly praying about it since long before the relationship even started that our friendship would be in God's Will and in His Hands. So, we're pretty serious and he's wonderful. I seriously love him to death. But I think I'm developing a crush on someone else, and I don't know what to do.. Gaah. Am I an awful girlfriend for having a crush?

No, I wouldn't say you're an awful girlfriend at all. What do you like about the other guy? Is it something that your current boyfriend is missing? Try to see past it and realize that you've got history with your boyfriend, and love him with his endearing quirks. A crush is only skin-deep, and the person might have one too many skeletons in their closet. Think it over for a bit- the last thing you want to do is cheat on your boyfriend. How about trying something new in the relationship to rekindle the flame? Go somewhere you've never been, or just have a new experience together.

You aren't an awful girlfriend, in fact its common in teenage relationships. While its great that you two love each other and are pretty serious, its easy to want to experiment and try something new since you're young.
I agree with Kat in making a list of what you like about this other guy. Typically though, if you start liking someone else it means that they have something to offer that your current relationship doesn't.
That being said, it doesn't mean that you're relationship isn't going to work out. Since you've been together for 6 months you two know that you work well together (a lot of relationships that have no hope end much sooner). However, you don't know if things would work out with your crush. So its up to you whether you want to try something new, or stay in your secure relationship.
You can always try and avoid this guy you're developing a crush on and spend some more time with your boyfriend. In time, you should get over the other guy.

I don't think you're a bad girlfriend at all, in fact I was in the same position as you are now hun,
My boyfriend and I are going on 7 months now and at 6 months we hit a rough patch where I was sort of attracted to another guy, like SerenitySmile said, its skin deep. Or in my situation it was. Things started getting a bit strained between us and we've only ever fought once this whole time together. He could tell something had changed, I didn't tell him I thought some other guy was attractive, because I also realized it wasn't just that. The more important thing was I felt like we were in a slump doing the same things over and over everyday, I don't like being like that so I told him. He was upset, only because he thought I was going to break up with him, which I wasn't at all! I just wanted to talk about it, let him know how I was feeling and see if we could change the problem. Which luckily we have (:
My advice; think deeply about if its just a crush, or if there's something in your relationship with your boyfriend that's bothering you, if you find something try and bring it up to him. Hope it all works out
