I've got a boyfriend who lives two days away from me, i'm making a trip up there to go see him in 2 months and a halts time. We don't talk that much but when we do I always feel really happy and warm inside, we only ever send message back n forth or sometimes we go on skype. We only sit down and have a actual conversation with eachother a couple times a week which upsets me because I need that 'someone to love' aspect and i feel I'm not getting it. But recently I met another guy who lives close to my town and comes in everyday we hang out and talk on the phone alot I've started developing feelings towards him but only cause he's giving me that attention that I need/expect from my bf. My bf also told me he loved me I didn't say it back not because I don't I don't right now but I know someday I will love him. I can't picture leaving my bf but I'm not sure what to do i've talked to him lots about the non communication thing but nothings changed. Help..

    Long distance relationships are hard and usually don't work out, and this is exactly why.

    This is why i don't like seeing people that i can't see. You're missing a key factor to the relationship: physical contact. Not necessarily sex, but you're still missing that sense of being physically close to your love. Talk to your boyfriend about it and talk it out because it may not work if you're that far away. It may just get to where it's pointless to try keeping it up. Just talk to him about it. Good luck to you. :)

    It's normal to have feelings for another person in your situation, but if you really care about your boyfriend, you shouldn't be talking to that other guy. You should either just break up with your bf and get with that other guy or maybe somehow try to work things out with your bf. Like, you and him can somehow see each other more often. The lack of physical contact from your bf is making you extremely lonely and girls need attention.
