okay...i've been living with someone (D) for almost four years now and have been monogamous. i have been fairly happy in my relationship, and am very laid back and usually just stick with the status quo, but we don't have all that much in common.

we recently went on a trip together to the west coast and i met someone there. i've been emailing and calling this person (B) and really think B is almost a perfect match for me...same interests and same personality type, despite the fact that i am more attracted physically to D than i am to B.

we all will be together again in october in dallas, but at this point i'm daydreaming of uprooting my life and moving out to california to be with B...i know it's stupid but that's what i'm thinking.

my question: what should i do...cut things off with B now or try to hook up with B in dallas or uproot my life and go with my gut instinct or what?

Damn that sounds like an algebra problem, but heres my 2 cents. Follow my list of pros and cons...(from the outsider perspective...seeing as how I don't know you)

D pros-
1. is hot
2. you are happy already
3. staying with D does not involve moving

D cons-
1. has different likes and dislikes than you
2. (can't think of anymore)

B pros-
1. is hot
2. has the same like and dislikes as you

B cons-
1. is not hotter than D
2. would involve moving to be with

Conclusion:
I say stay with D. In order to be with B you'd have to pack up, move, and find a new place and job. Also from what you say B sounds like she would be you, only instead of a penis she has tits and a puss. I sure as hell know that I wouldn't want to be with a female version of myself. Now by staying with D you get to bone the hotter of the two and you also get to bust her "balls" when your fav football team beats hers.

Whatever decision ya make...make sure ya can deal with the consequences. Good luck.

With 4 years , thats alot of time invested. The other person you are in contact with you basically dont know anything about. Sure everything is going to be great and perfect the first weeks and months of conversing, you are telling each other what you want to hear, but in the long run it could be the biggest mistake of your life, so keep in touch by email or phone or mail but wait, dont just get up and bounce on your girl that you were with for 4 years. I have personally been engaged twice and never married either of the women. My longest relationship is 1 year , yours is 4 thats alot of time. Dont be a D**k and leave the person you are with for 4 years,like I said , wait till you see the other person in October and go from there. These so called strong feelings you are experiencing are all part of meeting someone new and intriguing, thats why the person is always on your mind. Good Luck.

I think what the guys have said above is right! You need to make sure that whatever you do is right for you, not just because there may be a possible relationship in CA waiting for you.

Know that having the same interests isn't all that eventhough people try to act like it is. I was so excited to go out this girl who had the same interest as me. But eventhough we had the same interests our personalities totally clashed. I didn't realized how much they did until 3 months in. Plus I didn't throw away a 4 year realationship for her. Don't get me wrong. I don't think just because you've been with for someone for 4 yrs it means she's your soulmate but if you've been with D for that long there must be something there. And call me shallow but if D is better looking than B, well dammit, that's worth something too. I think I'd rather live in Cali than Dallas but I wouldn't uproot my life for any woman, but that's me. I could totally see myself resenting her for it.

good luck

Sounds to me like if someone crossed your radar once, it'll happen again. Your problem isn;t the attraction to B but some intrinsic problem in your relationship with D. I'd say address that first, one way or the other, without considering outside factors.

Well if you are even thinking about it then your present relaytionship isnt keeping you happy. I say bail before you waste any more time. Do what ever makes you happy. You are only here for so long, might as well have a kick ass time. Plus california kicks ass!

I apologize if I'm off base, but... I think you know what you want to do already and are just looking for people to tell you what you want to hear so that your decision is easier.

Take charge man! Do what you need to do. It's not easy but don't second guess yourself -- it won't get you anywhere.

Good luck!

A: is you
B: new person (friend)
C: happy
D: old person (friend)

if A + D = (C)
+ A + B = (C)
--------------
A + (D + B) = (C)

(A)x(C) = (D + B) or


AC = D + B

so:

C= D/A + B/A

C= D + B

A: cancle out.

Sorry bro, your gonna get kick to the curb by both D and B if you go for B.

I think you should hang out with C for awhile.

having a mate with absolutely the opposite interests is fun. thats all about getting involved with what the other likes to do. im tellin ya , you dont want to be with someone who loves everything you do. it'll get old very fast.

I agree with leafs, damn I agree with a leafs fan what has the world come to? Having opposite interests has alot of ups and a few downers.
Example 1:Say "D" is a Dallas Stars fan and you are a Colorado Avalanche fan. When the two play and say Collie wins then you'll be happy but she'd be a little ticked. Now if you were both Stars fans you'd both be ticked.

Example 2:Say "D" likes to go to the opera and you don't. She goes with her opera going fans and you get to hang with your boys, who say you're whipped, and prove you're not. Sure go to the opera every once in a while just to show ya care, plus its dark in there so you can fall asleep and she won't know it.

Hell move to California...what the f***

It will keep you out of a long term relationship at least. Remember : It is always better to have loved and lost then to be married to the same damn bitch your whole life..

Moving to another locale for a relationship is VERY hard (Ive done it). You have to factor in loss of work, friends,family, finances, learning a new town, etc... Make sure you are positive before you go (if you do), and keep in mind the whole time that it's going to take alot of work. Trust yourself and your instincts.. you only live once. What I have always said is, one day when you're old.. do you want to keep asking yourself "why didn't I do it?"
