It is entirely possible you have feelings for your FWB. What I would recommend would be to have a conversation with your FWB first of all. Maybe think on your feelings for a night first... then discuss with them that you're unsure how you feel. Get their input on how they feel about your current relationship.
I would suggest perhaps stepping back the FWB status to just friends for a little while, so you can mutually assess your feelings. In that time try dating this other girl... and although I'm still under 30 myself I mean "dating" in the old 50s way.
Our younger generations seem to have shifted the word "dating" to where "going steady" was back in the 50s. What I am suggesting is go on a few dates with this new girl you're interested in but do NOT become boyfriend/girlfriend right off the bat. Please realise you don't have to be in a commited relationship right after you've asked someone out, ok?
Go on a few dates, make sure you communicate to her that you'd like to get to know her better and that way the two of you can decide if you're both interested in "going steady" after that. Hell, you may even go on some date-dates with your current FWB (but I'd say hold off on sex since it may muddy your thoughts as you weigh options)to see if one or the other of these people is a good fit for romance. May turn out that neither are, but you'll have given it a try.
Is it normal to have a friend w/ benifits while you have a girlfriend?
