In love but still getting feelings from other guys?

So, I have a boyfriend and we have been together for about half a year now. I am in love with him, I'm perfectly happy and everything is great.

However, I get feelings for another guy. I don't know if I am mixing up platonic feelings or what.

Well, this second guy, who isn't even really a friend so much as he is a friend of lots of my friends, is not only physically attractive to me. I know physical attraction to others is normal, me being in love and having a fulfilling relationship will not stop us from finding attractive people attractive. But I am also very attracted to his personality.

He's very intelligent, and I have always had a thing for smart people. I want to sit and talk with him. That's normal, too. But when he touches me even in the most casual way I get romantic feelings. My heart beats really fast and I feel happy.

This is just so weird, I don't know why I am feeling this.

(Extra note is that my relationship is long distance at the moment and I'm a really touchy person.)

Sorry if this is a super awful post, haha.

    Maybe you get those feelings because you are wanting to be with the guy you love

    Simple transference, quite normal. You want to be with your boyfriend, but can't at the moment. So, you start to have "feelings" for others that are more accessible.

    Be strong, and save your sexual frustrations for when you and your boyfriend are together - then fuck him 'till he's too tired to leave. Problem solved.

    Long distance relationships often don't work out unless there is a clear end to the long distance part. Why not spend more time with this other guy and see if hes more to your lining? You don't want to miss what could be a better match for you.

    The other night I was driving home and, for the first time in my life, I saw a real hooker standing on a corner. She looked quite good-looking too. Then I saw that she was just a normal teenage girl waiting for her lift.
