Is it normal to have crushes while in a committed relationship?

This is pretty normal... Stay with the same person long enough, and you're almost certain to develop an interest in someone with near polar opposite characteristics. It comes from the simple desire for variety of interactions. What will keep your current relationship together is realizing that this opposite is not what you really want--it's just a fleeting crush, and the risk of pursuing it is probably not worthwhile.

I just want to emphasize the fact.....look around the posts on this board---people trying to find that perfect partner, heck, just that good partner. You seem to have that already, and you're contemplating leaving that for some insignificant guy that shows up. Not to beat the dead horse, but that would be a foolish, foolish thing to do.

If you didn't find people attractive, then you'd lose interest in your boyfriend real fast. Your attraction to him keeps you together. Whenever you find that you are attracted to someone new, just remind yourself that all your relationship functions are still working properly :)

Remember this always!

"You never leave the one you Love for someone you Like."

Thats because the one you like will not leave their other for you.
The grass is not greener on the other side.
A crush happens, but Its your actions that define you.
Its human to find the opposite sex attractive.

"Stick wit'cha entree and get over your side"

Yes it is perfectly normal to have a crush on another man/woman whilst with your partner. We are all attracted to famous people aren't we ?! ... Ok, that's a bit more extreme, but the point I'm making is the same. As to whether or not you you should stick with your guy or move on ?? .... You sound as if you really love your boyfriend and are you sure the other guy is really giving you signs he's into you ?? Perhaps because of your crush, you're seeing things that aren't there ?? ...

Hunterboyz makes some good points, but at the end of the day you've got to make your own decision and live with it. Personally, I wouldn't give up someone I loved for someone I just attracted to.
