I’m in a long-distance relationship at the moment. I love my boyfriend very much, and the relationship is good. Recently I met someone and things kicked off really fast between the two of us. We are really interested in each other. It feels as if we’ve known each other for years. We are comfortable with one another and really open and honest.
I don’t want to push the issue of an official boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him. My suggestion is we remain as friends, then we can determine if we should remain as friends or if something was meant to develop out of this. If something deeper develops, at that time I’ll deal with the situation with my boyfriend. Am I wrong in this?

Dawn, on the sly you’re trying to lynch your boyfriend. You’ve built the scaffold, put the hood over his head, led him up the stairs, and tightened the noose. Now you’re positioning him over the trapdoor. Before you drop the door, will you tell him he’s at a lynching?

C’mon, can’t you do things in the right order? Horse, then cart. Break up with the old before starting the new. Your old boyfriend thinks he has a girlfriend, and he doesn’t. What might he think when you break up with him? That women are sneaky, nasty creatures. And with you, he’s going to be right.

There’s nothing wrong with being attracted to someone else, but the honorable course is to end one relationship before starting the next.
