    HI. I’ve been with my current boyfriend for 4 years now. We do love each other and we have more things not in common than we do in common. Bedroom situation is hit and miss. He is a great guy who loves me but he doesn’t seem to have any motivation getting a job anytime soon. We are both 22 and live at home. In our 4 years together, I have been the one looking for work, when I had it, I was paying for ALL the dates. He keeps telling me he wants to work so we can move out but yet makes no progress. Recently, I met this amazing man who lives in another state..(met via Xbox Live) we have so many things in common it’s scary, we make each other laugh and smile constantly and everything just..clicked and felt right. He plans on buying me a plane ticket in a few months so we can meet and test drive how compatible we would be in person. If things go very well..I would consider moving to the state he lives in. He has told me how he feels and how much he cares for me. He respects me very well. It feels so right and natural when we spend time together. He knows I have a boyfriend as well. I am not sure what I should do. I have two men who love me. And I love them both. I don’t know if I should stay with my current boyfriend because of the time we invested together…or if I should take a risk at something that could grow into a very serious relationship. Please help me, any advice would be appreciated.

    Decide what it is you want from a relationship. If you’re looking for marriage and kids, sooner than later, the current boyfriend you have doesn’t seem like a compatible match. If you want companionship only, he may be right for you. But you have to know what you want, first and foremost. Currently, his disappointing behavior has left you vulnerable to other considerations. This guy you’ve met online is just a guy you’ve met online. You may say you love each other, but let’s be real: You haven’t dated in person. The L word is not something you should be telling each other — before a first kiss, let alone a first date or meeting. 😉 It’s probably not a good idea to consider moving to his state to be with him, when you haven’t once met. 😕 I know you want to be loved and be in a relationship, but if that’s what you want, focus on that and come up with a good solution on how to get that! Go back to your real problem which is your current relationship — and deal with that first. Decide if you want to stay with your current boyfriend or not, and then proceed from there. If you don’t, you’re going to generate chaos that isn’t necessary. Just because you love someone doesn’t mean that they’re a compatible match for you, and that’s something you’ll figure out with age — starting today! 🙂

    I hope that helps. 😉
