This is tricky. Because they may be loved by you for different reasons. Lots of people would say pick the person you met second because you may not have been in love with the first person at all, but I am not so sure that is always the case. The best thing you can do is be honest with yourself about what you intend your relationship to be with these people are. And maybe you can ask them if they feel similarly towards you. Doing those things can help you ultimately decide which relationship you want to pursue (since most times you end up picking one person).

Who did you love first? If you truly loved the first person there wouldn't have been another one. I understand that you cannot control your emotions and thoughts. However, take into account their feelings as well. I think that whoever was the first, would be hurt and might feel betrayed. Think about their emotions and how it may take a toll on them, however with that being said do not other people's feelings always influence your answer or decision. You are the only person who know's what is best for you. At the end of the day, you are going to call the shots. You do you, boo.

This is a really tough situation to be in, and to a degree, I have been in your shoes. However, I once read somewhere that if we truly loved the first person, we would not have fallen for the second person; on the other hand, sometimes we can love a person but become infatuated by another person. Perhaps it could be a good idea for you to talk to both people and see which person you feel more connected to. Or, you could write up a table of pros and cons to each person/how you feel around each person and weigh them up against each other. It could also be a good idea to remember that you do not need to make a choice right now, or even choose between the two. Eventually, you'll know what is right for you.

Ok.. so first I think you should spend some time with yourself alone and try to realize what you really want, reflect your thoughts and find out your true desire. Are you sure it is strong love that you feel for both the person or just an atrraction? You have to realize that. You can also talk to someone and tell them about how you fell and see what they have to say. If you really think you have some strong feeling for any of those two people, I think you should just let it out and talk to the person. I hope my answer have helped you in any way possible.

There is so much to consider when love is on the table. Everyone’s priorities are different. If you want compatibility and a relationship that is secure and long-term, it might be good to consider: 1. Would this person be reliable and secure? How has this person been with past partners? Do they want a commitment? 2. Does this person have the top qualities that I want in a partner? Are there any issues that would be deal breakers? 3. Does this person have interests and goals that are similar or complementary to my own? 4. How would this person respond to issues in the relationship? Would they try to work with me or would they run away? 5. Does this person have a growth (willing to be flexible/learn/grow) or fixed (stubborn/inflexible/unwilling to learn) mindset? Best of luck to you! I think finding a good match is one of the most important decisions in life. Finding a good, healthy fit is worth any wait!

There's nothing wrong with loving two different people. You should love who ever you want to love. Without sounding cynical, do you love them with any type of malice intent behind it? Are you in a love triangle and they both hate each other? If that's the case, then you only love yourself the most, and u believe you love them. But if you genuinely love them both, you would be able to be as honest as possible with them both. Something to consider is some people have open relationships to avoid that awkwardness of cheating and feeling guilty. Open relationships are not for everyone if you can't handle certain personalities or behaviorals. Good luck !

Well the main question is, do you love them? This could be romantic or just love them as a friend. It's never nice competing but maybe if you speak to them about it they will understand. Switching between the two people wouldn't be a wise choice but you do what you think is right. maybe you just think you like them because they're nice to you or because your both similar in terms of interests. Often just thinking about your feelings long and hard is substantial enough to come to a conclusion so I suggest you give that a try

There is nothing wrong with loving more than one person. We should all try to love more. If this is a romantic type of love then you need to way up the pro's and con's with each person. Can you be friends with one if you choose the other? What effect will this have on you? Do both of the people feel the same way as you do. In the end you will have to rely on your gut and go with it. You can be the only one that decides what the next move will be and when you decide what you are going to do it should come from the heart.

Being honest about your feelings is important but you also need to be honest with your partners. If you're actually dating one of these two people, or both of them, then you need to own up to it. Tell them the truth about the situation that you're in. It might wind up leading to you losing one or both of these people if you haven't been honest in the past. Honesty is one of the most crucial parts of maintaining a healthy relationship. If you can't be honest with the people that you love, then you might not need to be in a committed relationship right now. Being lied to hurts and you don't want to put someone that you care about through a painful situation that they don't deserve. Love is about more than your own happiness. The happiness of the people that you love should also concern you and you need to take their feelings into account.

Have you heard of polyamorous relationships? Most people aren't comfortable with them, and you might not be, but if you are, it could be a possibility for you. If you're not liking that idea, maybe you could hang out with both of them more and see perhaps if you like one more than the other, or maybe if one of them likes you back while the other might not. It's never a good idea to be in a one-sided relationship, so while you might like them both, you're going to need to see if they like you.
