    Im 17 years young and ima say it straight up, i dont know anything about relationships and far too young to understand whats being in love, So. Ive dated my girlfriend for about 7 months and I am really in to her and think shes the best girlfriend I've ever had, even though she says she has very strong feelings for me also and that im perfect for her and she is totally comfortable around me and said I gave her a feeling that no guy have ever done, im way out of her league and im clearly not her type of guy by physical traits. (she's into those "scene" crazy hair, skinny jeans, screamo type of guy) and lately i feel like she has been constantly looking for those type of guys to talk to, lately she reached a boy to talk to and obviously they flirted and she has a crush on him, maybe it may go somewhere and maybe it wont, but she probably wont stop searching. Is it perfectly normal for a human to have that type of feeling while in a relationship? I feel like trash to her and feel like she is constantly looking to replace me even when she said I am the most amazing guy she ever dated, and i fit perfectly with her. already drew a line for myself if she says that she wants to be with another guy, then I will draw the line and break our relationship (and yeah my heart might hurt alittle) and when we talk, we start to be quiet because obviously because of me that i cannot accept the fact she has a crush one somone. so im asking for help, Man, Women, Peers!, give me some advice please!

    No, it is not okay. If one of you has a crush on somebody else, there is a commitment problem with your relationship.

    But if it's not a heavily committed relationship, then it's not out of the ordinary to be comparing people and trying to find the right fit.

    Well i mean its just a little crush, they all come and go its nothing more like she is cheating on me right? I am not going to lie, I had a crush before in a relationship, and i tended to think more about the girl than my girlfriend, but when it came down to it, i realized im better off suited with the girl I am already with and didnt even talk or think about the other girl i had a crush on anymore.

    no i read on one of her friends myspace saying that she had a crush on this one guy, but hes pretty flirty with other girls and felt silly for having a crush on him BUT I still think she will continue probably looking for other guys she find attracted to, even though shes with me. I just feel like it may strangle our relationship sometimes.

    It sounds like when she finds the right guy, she'll leave you. I think that it's okay to have a secret harmless crush on someone when we're in long term relationships. However, if you feel like she's acting on feelings (excessive flirting, ignoring you, constantly busy, etc), then you may be better off dumping her first and get another girl.

    So just like that, all the special feeling we had for each other go down the drain and I give up on her just like that?

    Depends on what you mean by crush.

    - Find someone attractive. Maybe have a dream or two about them. That is probably okay.

    - Starting to compare them to the person your actually with...um, you better start some serious thinking.

    - anything more and it could be issue.

    Acting an any of this is bad, even if you start hanging out with them more subconsciously because you have a crush on them (though if you don't realize it, you can probably get away with it until you do)

    Though this also depends on whether this is person that you know in real-life and see semi-regularly to regularly, someone who you met one time or so, or a famous celebrity.

    Have you talked to her?

    If not it is time for you to let her know how you feel.

    I personaly believe its harmless crushes she has, I belive we ARE human and i guess when you get into a deeper relationship you tend to think about people on the outside, its like like, Looking at a resturant menu, BUT not buying it and eating it.

    Okay read your actual post now...

    Um she sounds like she is dating you to date someone, and not necessarily because it is you. If your okay with that, then go with it. If not, then beware.

    whatever the decision, you will look back on this in 10 years and think you were a complete idiot....and you probably are being so.

    From the sound of your post, I'd suggest making some personal changes. It all comes back to knowing what you want and who you are. Have some self-confidence. And I don't mean walking into a room and swinging your dick around as the big man. Self-confidence really means what it says - confidence in who you are and what you are and being content and comfortable with that. Granted, you probably don't know who you are quite yet...but be confident in who you are now.

    Look at the long-term view. You're only 17. Are you trying to get married next year or something? If so, great, is this girl the one. If not, great, so then what do you want out of a relationship? And is this relationship providing that?

    Harmless crushes are ok.
    Sex dreams involving other people are ok.
    Having friends of the opposite sex is ok.

    But flirting with/leading someone else on or cheating on your S.O. (which involves stuff like, kissing, or even having dinner alone with the other person) is crossing the line, IMO. Of course, I'm talking serious long-term relationships. You are 17 and will have many girlfriends before you settle down. Don't worry too much about it.

    Run-On Sentence
    A sentence in which two or more independent clauses (that is, complete sentences) are joined with absolutely no punctuation or conjunction. It is generally considered to be a grammatical error. Some grammarians also include a comma splice, in which two independent clauses are joined with a comma, as a type of run-on sentence, while others exclude comma splices from the definition of a run-on sentence.

    A run-on sentence does not mean a sentence is too long; longer sentences are likely to be run-ons only when they contain more than one complete idea. A run-on sentence can be as short as four words—for instance: I drive she walks. In this case there are two complete ideas (independent clauses): two subjects paired with two (intransitive) verbs. So long as clauses are punctuated appropriately, a writer can assemble multiple independent clauses in a single sentence; in fact, a properly constructed sentence can be extended indefinitely.

    Ways To Avoid Run-On Sentences
    Write the two clauses as two separate sentences:
    It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark.
    Henry Whopper was a teller of tall tales. He even told them to his teachers.

    Insert a coordinating conjunction (such as "and" or "but") after the comma:
    It is nearly half past five, so we cannot reach town before dark.
    Henry Whopper was a teller of tall tales, and he even told them to his teachers.

    Insert a semicolon between the clauses:
    It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark.
    Henry Whopper was a teller of tall tales; he even told them to his teachers.

    Insert a semicolon and a transitional word between the clauses:
    It is nearly half past five; therefore, we cannot reach town before dark.
    Henry Whopper was a teller of tall tales; in fact, he even told them to his teachers.

    Insert a colon (if the relationship of the second clause clarifies, defines, exemplifies the first clause):
    No man is an island: we all need to be a part of some community.
