right now is a bit of an awkward part in my life, trying to learn what it's like to become an adult and having to deal with expectations from school, my parents, and my studies. Ive never had a serious boyfriend/girlfriend relationship before the one i'm in right now. Ive always had crushes, really strong ones too, emotions that last for weeks on end, longing for someone just out of my reach. In the past, These feelings for someone would really only end when someone new or more interesting replaced them, and my infatuation moved on to this new person. I assumed I was just hopeless, forever doomed to assign my feelings onto whoever I liked in the moment. This time I thought it was different, and just another crush became a long term relationship of about two years now, developing into real love. The trouble is, now i'm starting to get that feeling again, a crush on someone new, even though i'm still in a committed relationship. This isn't just some random girl either. It's someone I only saw as an acquaintance for the longest time, someone my current girlfriend would often half-jealously tease me about liking, an accusation I would completely deny. Now though, I'd be lying If i said I felt nothing for her. She's almost super-humanly smart, talented, very kind, athletic, and naturally pretty (that's not just me talking, these are universally accepted facts of those who know her and the reason for my girlfriends jealousy) and has had a small crush on me for the past year or so. Long story short, I just don't know what to do with these feelings, is this normal? , are they a product of me being unhappy in my current relationship, should i feel bad for having them? Sure my girlfriend can get moody sometimes, but she's still my best friend, and loves me to death. Sorry if this post is really long, but it's nice to just write this stuff out.

Yo! The best advice I could give you comes from the very information you yourself provided. You said your casual crushes last only a few weeks at a time, right? So wait a few weeks while sitting on these feelings. of you still like her after a few weeks? A few months? If that's the case then I would think that the other girl may be the one for you. I know it may be hard to leave your current girlfriend, but the best case scenario is she supports you and stays as your friend. If these feelings go away after a few weeks? Just let it all go and keeping living how you were :)

All the stuff in school is BS but you need the grades. also if you have a gut feeling about someone you probably right

It seems to me that you are just infatuated by another girl, which is completely normal even in committed relationships. Is she really "almost super-humanly smart" as you say? I can also guarantee you that the things you say to describe this girl are not "universally accepted facts". Maybe you're just exaggerating to get the point across to us better, but this over-exaggeration makes it appear as though you are just infatuated with a facade of what you perceive her to be rather than the deeper feelings you have for your current girlfriend after two years of dating.

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck.
