sister…it sounds like the first relationship isn’t working at all. if you’ve met someone you like and he is there right now, deal with the possibility of a long-distance relationship with him if it ever comes up. Doesn’t sound like you would be dealing with a communication problem with the new guy.

don’t be one of those that is like a monkey…hanging onto one limb, grasping onto another and not letting go cause your not sure if your hand is going to slip on the second branch. you sound young…you’ve got plenty of relationships ahead of you.

sounds like you’ve already emotionally moved on from your boyfriend of 6 years but are too insecure to ‘be on your own’. Have fun with the new guy without worrying if he moves away; keep your options open while you figure out who you are.

There’s a saying that if you have feelings for someone else while you’re in a relationship, then you should go for the other person because if you were truly happy with you relationship and loved who you were with, then you wouldn’t have developed feelings for someone else.
On the other hand though, you say it’s been a while since you’ve felt loved. While I understand that it’s only human nature to want to be loved by others, it also makes it seem as though you can’t be secure or happy in a relationship when the going gets tough. There’s going to be times in every relationship where you’re not going to get all the attention and love that you want, but it’s something that isn’t so hard to deal with if you’re happy with yourself even without a relationship. Chances are, if you end up going for the other guy simply because you want to feel loved, then you’re going to lose interest in him too.
I would do a little soul searching and ask yourself if you even need to be in a relationship at all right now. I know it’s not what you want to hear and it’s something that you probably don’t want to consider, but in the long run, it might be good for you.

Hmm tricky it seems you are still in love with your boyfriend and you want to see it work. How long have you been a part in this long distance relationship and are either of you willing to move in to be with each other? If the answer is no you or him are not moving in together, some time we need to set love free in order for it to come back to us. Ask your boyfriend for the truth as to his feelings for you. The new guy sounds interesting and if it doesn’t work out with him, I am sure another one will come along shortly

For the first relationship to work out, one of you has to be completely willing to move eventually. Are you willing to leave your friends and family behind to move just to be with him? is he willing to?
