I'm wondering if it's normal to get crushes this easily. I've been dating someone for over a year and I really am very happy with him. I love him so much. But I find myself getting these crushes on other people super easily. Sometimes they are even on his friends! It usually goes away fairly quickly or I can think my way out of it. But I wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if so, can I do anything to make it stop? I've never cheated and I never would. It's not like I'm falling in love with these guys. It's usually just a couple weeks where I just really like them. I never consider ending my relationship or anything. But it's almost like I meet someone really cool, successful, smart or someone that I'm happy to be around and I can't distinguish between liking that someone or just thinking they would be really great to be friends with.I counted six guys I have liked at some point over the course of my relationship. It's so annoying and I feel like a terrible person, like I'm emotionally cheating or something. Help!

    You are fighting your biology, and sometimes you will find yourself getting a crush based maybe on something as simple as a smile or passing on the street. this is normal, and a lot depends on how you react to it. so do not think you are a terrible person, you are NOT cheating! You cannot control every random thought, but you can control your actions. Good luck!

    Yeah... I also tend to get crushes fairly quick.. The majority of which blew over quickly too.
    I have never had a crush on another person while I was in a relationship though. I cut off from it because I am devoted like a motherfucker.
    So... yeah.

    It's awesome that you feel bad about this. Just don't beat yourself up about it because you can't help feeling these random feelings. It happens.
