Is it normal to feel that confused?

This is not a regular is it normal question as much as it is "please help" kind of question! So, there's someone I like. I've known him for almost three years now. I've always liked him but two years ago I start to fall really hard for him. I told him like a year and half ago. But he said he doesn't feel the same. I didn't cut contact and we kept talking even till now. Sometimes I tried to but he wouldn't have it. He keeps coming back as a friend of course.(Yeah I now realize that was a very wrong thing to let going). Anyhow, I've met this other guy. He's really decent and charismatic. I still know him well. He's a friend of a family member. He expressed an interest in me. Everyone at home is rooting for him too! Personality-wise, he's a good guy. Problem is I can't make up my mind. With the other one back in my mind I can't help but think about him, as in reality I talk more to that other guy - the one I know well but he doesn't like me. I still can't feel neutral about him.

Another major problem I can't feel physically attracted to anyone but him. I don't know how to like someone else and how to stop comparing. I feel I'm attracted to the new guy because of that. The 2nd guy is also headed towards commitment. So that freaks me out too. What if I agreed and then don't feel any love for him? I know some distance form the other guy can help but I can't tell him I can't talk to you now because he just had a huge argument with me a couple of days ago because I don't talk to him enough and try to stay away. I said it's not true and initiated talking. So, now I will sound like a lunatic. Have to ever had this kind of situation? You can't feel attracted to anyone because of your exes or crushes? Any advice would be appreciated.

    It's very normal. I think you'd feel better about this is the new guy hadn't expressed interest in you. If I were you I think I would end up with the first guy since you've known each other longer but it seems like he is causing you a bit of stress so I'd apologize to the first guy for what I'd said and gently tell him that I want to discontinue the relationship and then see how things progress with the second guy. This is one of those complicated things that either works out or doesn't, but either way if you believe that you can survive it then you can.
