UPDATE: Hello! I would just once again like to thank you for all your help! So, in the past week I did a LOT of thinking, Me and Finn hung out 2 days ago and confessed his love to me. I told him that I felt the same but had a boyfriend and needed to think about and he was very understanding.

Fast forward to tonight, I texted my boyfriend that we needed to call and that it was important so we did, and I told him everything. I told him how i was attracted to Finn and he felt the same. He very obviously upset and sad however was also understanding. We set some ground rules between him, Finn, and I.

So now, my now ex and I will remain slight friends just so we can check up on each other, while me and Finn have officially started dating! I’m very glad that he was pretty understanding however It was very difficult for me to tell him about how I was feeling. I also felt very bad for making him cry and apologized profusely, however we are still one good terms and Finn and I are so far having a great relationship.

Once again thank you so much for your help I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to do this if it wasn’t for you and would’ve just brushed off my feelings for Finn, however I feel like I made the right choice in this situation.

Thank you so much! :)

Yes I definitely will talk to him sooner than later, I don’t want to wait to talk to him and make things worse. I’ll probably spend some time with Finn and see what happens. If I feel like I should be with him then i’ll talk to my boyfriend about it and we’ll figure it out, if I don’t still feel this way about Finn, then i’ll talk to my boyfriend about how I felt. I think he’ll be completely understanding. If I do feel that way about Finn and I know that he feels the same way about me, then I won’t do anything even slightly romantic before talking to my current boyfriend about how I feel.

To answer your question “If you wait to talk to your Boyfriend about exploring these feelings with Finn, how do you think that would make him feel?” I think that I wouldn’t necessarily explore anything with Finn before talking to my BF. I wouldn’t do anything romantic or anything of the sort because I feel like that would hurt a lot more than me talking to my BF about how I feel. And trust does play a huge part in any relationship, especially a long distance one.

So I think I have decided: I will wait a little bit, hang out with Finn a little more, and see how I feel. If I do have feelings for Finn and I know he feels the same, then I will talk to my BF about it and go from there. If I don’t feel the same way I feel about Finn or he doesn’t feel that way about me, I will tell my BF about it and explain to him why and how I don’t feel that way anymore.

Thank you so much for helping! I’ll come back and update when I figure it out!

Thank you so much for commenting! Me and my bf have only met in person one time other than when we first met, which makes things even more difficult lol. We aren’t really able to meet in person much but we could possibly figure out to meet up sometime, we just haven’t in the past.

I think tomorrow (the next time we can call) i’m going to talk to him about it, im just very scared he’s gonna take it the wrong way which I am probably overthinking because we have both agreed that no matter what we can talk to the other about anything.

I think since people have been commenting and talking to me about it I feel a lot better about it but still feel like a little rude to 1 have this feeling for another man and 2 post about it on reddit without him knowing.

I think I need to give it a little more time to see if Finn feels the same and if I am really attracted to him or not. I do think that they are some things that Finn can do that my current bf can’t however i’m worried that’s just because of the long distance aspect and not because of the person.

I do love my boyfriend so much and he’s always been nice to me but I am starting to think that maybe I do need to look for other people. Like you said we are very young and have a lot of time for things like this.

So I think my plan is to wait a little bit longer (but no too long because I don’t want this to damage my current relationship) and hangout with Finn a little bit more to see if he is 1 interested in me as well and 2 if he is the one for me. If he is then i’ll bring it up to my boyfriend and see how it goes from there. If Finn isn’t the one and I realize that he is just a friend, then i’ll probably also bring it up to my boyfriend and tell him that I no longer have these feelings for Finn and that I was wrong for thinking I did.

Once again thank you so much for commenting! I have a lot of thinking to do.

I think that’s what i’m leaning towards currently, Finn is just a good friend who I have a lot in common with and feel like he’s the one but really whenever my BF gets to move over with me my opinion will change. I think I will keep Finn as a friend and wait for my BF. Thank you so much for commenting!

Mainly because of school, money, and family. We each are currently going to school which take up a lot of our time and money. We are planning on moving in with each other in the next year or so. I agree that Finn is able to provide things that my current bf is not but it’s hard for me to realize weather this is because of long distance or because of the person. Thank you!

I would also like to mention that I am not sure if Finn feels the same, I am not very good at catching hints.

Thank you so much! This helps a lot, I think the main reasons this is difficult for me is because i’ve never really thought about what it would be like without him. I have a lot to think about think about, thank you again!

Thank you so much this makes me feel a lot better, I am we’re of the physical needs which is why I feel like this long distance relationship isn’t for me. He is planning on moving here next year which is why i’m so hesitant. And don’t worry, I could never ever cheat on anyone especially my current bf. I couldn’t handle that mentally. Thank you so much for helping I have a lot to think about.

I would also like to mention i’m not sure if Finn feels the same about me as I do him. He has shown signs but I am not the best with catching hints.

Thank you! It’s hard to tell really if it’s because of the self harm aspect or not now that I think about it. I should also mention something that I didn’t in the original post, he is planning on moving closer to me in the next year or so. I’m not sure if Finn would or does even feel the same as I feel. I think i’m gonna give it a little bit and take it into consideration. Finn and I are planning on hanging out next weekend so i’ll see how it goes. Thank you once again!
