What To Do?!

Ok, here's the basic plot...

Started seeing a guy, starting to get a little more serious. Let's call him x

However, there's another guy whom I've known for a year, let's call him 'y'. Lots of chemistry which everyone comments on. He doesnt know I'm seeing this other person. We're at University. I stayed round 'y's on Sunday evening. Bumped into 'y' on the bus, with my overnight bag. He proceeded to question where i'd been and what I'd ben doing etc. I didnt know what to say, so said I'd bee at a friends. He said '' of course'' in a sarcastic way and looked in my bag before I had the chance to pull it away.

Anyway, this bugs me. My problem is that we always end up spending the evening by each others side when we bump into each other in a club. People ofetn comment on how wierd it is that he and I arent together. But he never mentions anything.

Now, he's in a lecture with me at 5, and we'll be on the same bus journey home. Inevitably will be sat next to each other. I've planned to meet x after. When y asks me where I'm going, what should I say.

This sounds extremely immature, but I really like y. We've known each other for a while, although nothings ever happened. But, I'm really starting to like x, and dont want to pretend i'm not with him for the sake of pissing y off.

Should I mention it and get it out in the open and stop all the pointless flirting between me and y, which always happens. Or should I not mention where I'm going. I say this as I'll be getting off at a completely random stop, and he always asks where im going!

Thanks in advance for any replies x

Well, if you tell they guy you've known for a year, he's probably not gonna be very happy. But then it issnt fair on the new one if you dont accept that you're with him?

Sounds like you're waiting for the old one to come good. When really, he either needs to get off his arse and do something about the two of you or continue to get annoyed when you see someone else. Which, its inevitable that you're gonna meet people. Maybe this is the shock he needs to realise that you cant wait around! Tell him..

Say you've got a date to go to. Tell him people who aren't in relationships or going out do that. He might be upset but he'll realise it was his own fault for not asking you out. And you'd feel a lot better and be able to stop lying and sneaking around.
