I’m caught between two guys that I really love and I don’t know what to do…

There’s the guy that I’m dating, Scott, and my ex, Cameron and I don’t know who to choose.
Scott may be the best boyfriend I’ve ever had. He’s sweet, kind, gentle, loving, cute, funny.. everything I could ever hope for… but I’m not IN love with him. I’ve tried and tried but I don’t think I could ever fall in love with him. Cameron, on the other hand, I fell in love with him at first sight. He’s just amazing but sometimes I just don’t understand him at all. He understands me perfectly and could practically finish my sentences for me.. i just don’t get him.

I’m in love with Cameron, I love him with everything I have, I would do anything for him. He says he loves me so much and he wishes he’d never let me go. He wants to be with me again and I want to be with him..

But I’m so afraid that if I break up with Scott and date Cameron again, then history will repeat itself and it won’t work out again. I can’t live through that kind of pain again. To be honest, this would be the third time I would have to face it and I dont think I’d be able to get through it. I’m afraid that if I take this giant leap of faith then I’ll be left with nothing in the end…

((I wrote this mostly to get all these pent up feelings out but if anyone has any advise, it would be greatly appreciated!!))

Ive been with someone who I really liked but who kept hurting me, I was in love with them so stupidly I forgave everything they did to me and took them back only for them to hurt me again. Trust me, if he has hurt you more than once already then stay with Scott, at least he’s not going to hurt you.

My advice is much the same as anonymous, history will repeat itself and you will get hurt again. Sometimes you have to take the tuff desisions, just make it and stay with Scott. If you are not in love with Scott then finish with him or one day you will end up hurting him and he doesn’t deserve that.
Trust me this comes from experience, but from the other direction of loving two women, you have to be in love with someone and they have to be in love with you to make it work. Its no use only one person being in love.
Good luck.

I learned this from personal experience recently, “Never, ever, ever settle for good enough. Find the love that’s too amazing to be called anything other than amazing and accept nothing else.”

It sounds like you’re using Scott. Maybe once you resolve the Cameron issue you’ll be free to fall in love with Scott or someone else. Good luck–I’m sure this is very painful.

I know, I feel like I’m using him and I hate it… I feel like I’m cheating on him which is kinda true because I saw Cameron for the first time in half a year last wednesday and he kissed me and I kissed him back… I feel horrible and I don’t know what to do.. I just know that things are gonna get worse if I dont do something soon :(

I’m sure it can’t be easy. You don’t know what you want. Maybe Cameron is the passionate love of your life and rushing into his arms will lead to celestial music and eternal bliss. On the other hand, you may just want what you can’t have–we all have some of that Scarlett O’Hara blood in us. Are you willing to risk the “best boyfriend” to find out? What if you dump Scott and then discover HE was the love of your life? And what’s the alternative? Be disingenuous with Scott while you figure out the Cameron thing? Is Scott the sort of saintly person to whom you could say, “Look, I’ve got to resolve this other situation and see what it is I really want, because right now I’m not sure”? Did it occur to you that maybe neither of them is right, or you’d just KNOW?

It’s a delicious dilemma on one hand–but on the other hand, it’s stressful! It makes me glad I’m not young any more!

Good luck to you, my dear. I hope you make a happy choice.

Hi there. It happened to me before this thing. A good advice is to put thoose two guys in front of you (mentally of course). After you remove love from your soul, try to see what kind of person are they. How do you see them? How many common points do you have? What percentage do you fit in what you do on a daily basis? Wich one respects you more?
About your friend Cameron, you obviously broke up for a reason, will it still stands? What is it based upon?
To mee it seems that both them do not deserve you, because your soul should pop up and say: Yes! This is the one! but it doesn’t. You are also confused and lonely. That’s why you still want your ex boyfriend. If you are afraid of assuming decisions, life can punish you in a hard way, you know what they say: “Broking up hurts, but it hurts once, meanwhile making compromises all your life will hurt allways”.
Be yourself, don’t let the lack of options ruin your soul. Be a little more patient.
