It’s hard to know what to do if you have feelings for more than one person. Here are a few questions you could ask yourself and a few things to think about to help figure out what you really want.

Is it possible to love 2 people at the same time?

It’s possible to have feelings for more than one person. Sometimes that simply means that a person is important to you or you dream about them. You might get used to these emotions and decide you want a love story with someone else.

 

What are you looking for in a relationship?

To start with, you might think about what you want to get from a relationship. What qualities are you looking for in a partner? How would you like your partner to act with you? Do you want him/her to share your interest in certain things?

 

Which person do you like best?

To find out which person you like best, you can spend time with both the people you love, especially the one you know least well. Do they match up with what you’re looking for? Which one do you feel most comfortable with? Which one do you find most attractive?

 

What if you chose… both?

You might also learn that you want to have romantic relationships with both people at the same time. This is what’s technically called polyamory. Polyamorous relationships are hard to manage. All of the partners must agree and the agreement has to be clear, honest, and transparent, so that everyone feels respected.

 

By learning to know yourself better and getting to know the people you’re attracted to, you’ll definitely manage to make the right choice for you. Ultimately, it’s all a question of your values and vision of the relationship.
