Consider the idea that you may be polyamourous! It means you experience romantic attraction/are in a relationship with more than one person at once! If that label feels right for you, you can go about pursuing them both, though you may need to think about how to make it clear you're polyam to them both so nobody gets hurt. If things don't work out with both, they might still work out with one or the other, and even if not, you're still an absolute gem of a human and you're fine on your own or with someone(s) else! Good luck!!

Try to imagine yourself in different situations with both people. Could you imagine being in a healthy, loving and long relationship with both of them of just one? Sometimes it may seem like you love two different people but in reality, you just like the idea of being with one of them, not the actual person. It may be because they give you a lot of attention or because your friends/family would like them. Now if you're truly sure that you love both of them and they are both not in a relationship at the moment, I'd consider looking into polyamory and openly talking to the people about it if you feel comfortable doing so. Just be careful that you don't keep one of them simply as a "back-up" if a relationship with the other one should work out as this can hurt both of their feelings. You got this!

I'm not sure- I would make a pro and cons list and decide what makes each one special- whose been there for me when I needed them and who really understood me. I wouldn't base the present on the past- but a little compare and contrast can help. It can really go a long way and more often than not- it's the only thing do. Of course then comes the most dreaded debate between the mind and the heart- when it comes to love, logic usually fails but take your time and decide who you think is more important to you- tell them about your feelings and what happens next may help you.

Talk to both of them about it. Be open and honest. If they are into poly or open relationships, talk with them about that possibility. If they are not into that, still communicate how you feel to them, given the right relationship circumstances to share those feelings. If choosing to reveal to one person, maybe consider some pros and cons on what a relationship with each person would look like. Consider what you need in a relationship, and what might work better in each case, given your needs. Again, try talking with one or both of these individuals--hopefully, direct, open communication could be a growing experience with you and one of these individuals to figure out if a relationship could work well for the two of you.

I believe there is an initial language error that would have to be noted. Love is not the feeling of wanting to relate, but a rational act that recognizes a good. A mother, waking up at dawn to take care of her sick child, doesn't feel any, but she loves it because she knows that taking care of the child is a greater good than her pleasure at that moment. When we say that we love two people, as a companion for example, this must be a good that we look for apart from pleasure or well-being. Therefore, according to my thinking, and it is important that each one thinks with a calm and frank thought about it, which of the two is a good? Am I attached to what they provide me or do I have in one of them that help me develop as a person? I believe these answers help with the question.

This can feel like a very tricky situation and it’s important to recognize how you feel firstly. If you genuinely believe you are torn, it’s best to not consider either as a potential partner. If you commit to one, t your whole relationship will be you imagining what a relationship with the other person would have been like which becomes harmful for all parties. It’s a difficult situation, so if you choose to choose something else I would suggest thinking about both people critically, like the pros and cons in order to make a proper decision based on login and reasoning.

Personally, this has happened to me. In my situation, I really had to sit down and think about who was better for me. Who could I learn most from? Do I feel more comfortable with this person or that one? It wasn't easy, but I listened to myself and used my intuition. Do what feels right :)

You know the best who of them is better for you. Try to keep in touch with them, go out for a date for example, let the time choose which one is better.

I can't tell you which option to make. You have four options. Be loyal to the first person you got into a relationship with. Choose the second person you loved as if the first person was suffice you wouldn't need another. Have an open relationship with the two people or realise that you don't love either one enough. If you did, you wouldn't be in love with two people.
