Lisa asks:

I have just turned 16 years old, and I have been going out with my boyfriend for 18 months.  I am unsure whether I still love him, I sometimes think that I deserve better, I have cheated on him a few times, but those kisses really didn't mean anything to me.  I have met this guy who is really sweet without trying to be, he is really cute, really funny and has the best personality.  The only yellbut.gifthing is that he is my boyfriends best friend.  Should I kiss this guy, and see what I feel for him, or not?

Lisalisalisalisa.  What to do.  Well, the good news is that YOU'RE ONLY 16!  Therefore, no matter what you do, you can always say, "Well, I'm only 16!"  Here's the bad news.  You probably should do the RIGHT thing, and yes, I'm pretty sure you know what the "right" thing is for this SPECIFIC situation.

 The "right" thing is not to treat your boyfriend like dirt.  If you start going after his best friend, there's going to be LOT'S of bad feelings to spread around.

It was so painful when my girlfriend slept with my best friend

readerTF.gif Depend on it.  You'll hurt your boyfriend, you might make the best friend do things he'll wish he hadn't, and you'll be in a traumatic situation until things

 

Duh!

readerTF.gifsmooth over.  There's nothing good that can come out of this.  Oh yeah, except if you get the best friend.  But if his best friend would go out with you while you're the girlfriend, getting "best friend" doesn't seem to me like much of a deal.

Something similar happened to me in that my best friend married a girl I had been seeing for awhile.  But you see, that was cool, because I had already broken up with the girl and my friend, being a mensch, even asked me if I would mind if they dated.  However, we were all much older than 16 when this happened.

Lefty, you're right. She is too young to be in a long term relationship.

As an aside, I kind of wonder why you are exclusively dating only one person for 18 months.  Don't you feel that you want to see what other people are like?

I agree. Let me tell you what happened to me when I was 15

readerTF.gif Wouldn't you like to see if you meet someone who REALLY deserves you?  And maybe not just someone's best friend?  I mean, there's probably a whole BUNCH

I agree, relationships are not games and this applies to any age bracket.

Anyways, if you want to experiment, I guess you'll see what happens.  Sheesh, I wish I was 16 again!
