If you love two different people, odds are neither of them are for you. As cliched as it is - if you can't tell "the one" between the two, neither is the one. Find some new people, and be happier.

If both of them are aware of your feelings, then discuss with them individually about the idea of a polygamous relationship - monogamy is the majority's preference but it isn't the only choice. It is tough to navigate polygamous relationships but it isn't impossible if all the parties involved are well-informed and understanding. If polygamy is out of the question, then please do keep in mind that these two people are human beings who deserve to be respected and loved to the best of someone's ability, and if you're not capable of offering that then you shouldn't risk the chance of hurting either of them just because of personal indecisiveness. I'm not sure if you're bent on making a choice between these two people, but if you are, then maybe consider the long-run - perhaps at this moment these people might seem fitting for you, but what about your future aspirations, plans, and goals? Which of these two people might be best in helping you achieve that, while mutually being receptive to what you can offer them as well? Make that decision and that stick by it wholeheartedly.

You should always follow your gut instinct. Even if your head is telling you something different. Your instinct is always right.

Write down a list of traits that you like from each of them. Then write down what you dislike about each of them. From there, see which one will be more beneficial to you and your relationship.

First of all, take a deep breath because I have been there and it can be exhausting. So much contemplation and wonder and excitement at times, and shame at times. I guess the ideal approach would be honesty...with yourself. Is it really love? Totally truly? What do you do for each of these people? Now be practical. Sorry but fairy tales don't exist and soon someone will be hurting. Take care, make a decision and rest knowing that no matter what you will always wonder 'what if', can't avoid it. Clear your conscious and your mind, make a move. Love is a decision, believe it or not. It's a commitment. Not an arrow that pierces its victims. It's a choice, a commitment.

You should see if it’s love or if it’s a crush, but if you are still in love with them after 6 weeks you’re in love.

I would put a pro and con list for each of these people. When I am done with the lists, I would check to see which one will benefit me most, then make up my mind. Then I can tell the second person, I still would like for us to be friends. However, it is important for me to realize I can still love 2 or more people but in different ways. It isn't necessary to have to give up people in my life if I want to be with them. There are no laws that we must only have one person in our lives.

loving two different people is not wrong but if you want two people to love thats a big problem find the one who love you most and who care for you most and love him/her and leave other . otherwise you may fall in depression for having two lover. so i think you should leave one and love another one then your life will be shining for sure... but make sure that you did not hurt the other person .. and i my eyes love two people is one kind of cheating so dont do that my friend

When ever a situation like this occurs I think of a quote by Johnny Depp “If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.” I really think that it helps and I really do use it in my life as well as in my listener activity's. I really personally think that quotes are a great way to find words on how you feel but don't have the power to say your self.

I personally have been in a similar situation and I came to learn and understand that if I truly loved the first person, then I would have never loved the second. It is a situation most people find themselves in and they feel lost and confused, but it is a situation that helps you grow and learn your own self worth and helps you to love yourself to a greater extent. If you cannot figure out what your heart wants then open up to the two people you have feelings for and tell them exactly how you are feeling.
