boy meets girl girl falls in love boy doesnt.help!

About 6 years ago this guy moved with his family down the road from mine and our families knew each other so we did loads of stuff together and i fell for him big time. For about two years he kept hinting that he liked me but remained quite ambiguous at the same time. We've never been out and have stayed good friends but sometimes i feel that we act as if we're more but not in a physical way i mean we stay talking for hours on end and tell each other everything and this is gonna sound really soppy but sometimes just the way he looks at me makes me think he wants something more. I've tried asking him about it but he always avoids the question and i don't want to lose his friendship which makes it hard to keep pushing.

Here's another twist i have a boyfriend who i've been with for over a year and i love to bits problem is i feel that because i've never "had" this other guy i've not been able to move on so whenever i see him theres still this urge to just try. About a month back me and my boyfriend went on a break and this other guy came round this evening and we kissed, now i'm more confused than ever because i do love my boyfriend but what if i'm missing this fantastic opportunity or is it just because i've fantasised about me and this other guy since i was 11 (now 17)?

it is a bit long and i aplogise but tbh that is it summed up.

I know how you feel. It's the whole "the grass is greener on the other side" issure. And in all honesty, it might be, but you're more likely to screw everything up. Although, it sounds like you should maybe experience something with this guy you've been in love with for years, even if it's just to get him out of your system.

To be honest with you, I think you should just work on the relationship you already have. You're being unfair to the boyfirend you already have. Just move on, this other love you have with this other guy it is not really love but infatuation. You have had a crush on him since you where 11 and it's just puppy love you have for this other guy. Just forget about this other guy and work on the relationship you already have. And for the love of god, please don't cheat on your current boyfirend!

oh don't worry i wouldn't i do love my boyfriend very much. This is the thing aren't crushes meant to be things you get over not spend 6 years loving the same guy. I realise i was only 11 but we've both grown up and its still there. I hate even thinking about this cos i have a guy who i love very much but i can't censor my thoughts

please i dont mean jump on anyones toes here!! , but clearly this bloke must know his had a chance , well six years and plus for instance. He cant be alright in the head.Within those six years did either of you talk , exchange contact details he cant of well been a boyfired to you , not atleast in his head. But atleast now you with someone you love and have , no reason to cheat even with him now hes completely out of the picture so to speak you must be happy now for the crush is over!!

Something can't be right in your relationship, I think you and your boyfriend need to talk.
