Should I commit to the guy I've loved for three and a half years (three of which were spent in a serious relationship with him), or distance myself from the relationship to allow for more opportunities to experience others? We care for each other a great deal, but I long for something new. On the other hand, no other relationship seems to compare to the happiness I feel when I spend time with my first love. I don't want to lose him all together; but I want to be open to something new. Is this even possible? Should I stick with what I know to be good? I'm a sophomore in college and I first dated this guy in eleventh grade.

Tell him the same thing you just asked us & ask him if he would be open for a little soul searching and seeing other people. Keep in mind you could very well loose him though.

I think that if i were in your position i would be debating the same thing. The question here isn't am i missing out on something else that could be good? rather the question is do you love him and if you do are you willing to find out what new and exciting things may lie around the corner to a long term commitment. If you feel that you are in love with him and that he loves you too then i think that you might want to look into staying with him, however the fact that you are asking about weather or no to leave him begs the question why are you asking and why are you still with him if you feel you should be with someone else? It is truly up to you because only you will know what feels right, but you are still young and have time but if you leave you may not get the chance to come back. Follow you heart and go from there.

Wow sweetie, o.k. If you want something new then maybe you can find that with him instead of without, if your afraid of losing him then don't jeopardize the relationship. I noticed that you said you wanted something new not someone, I'm sure you can find what your looking for without leaving the man you love. Goodluck!!!!!!

If you want to do other guys/girls tell him you need to find yourself and need a break before you and he can move on in life. Simple as that.

If you love him. Stay with him. Date no one but him.

If you love someone, go for it. Don't let true love get away.
