When I was 17 (NB) I dated “Emma” (15F). We broke up when she was 16 and I had just turned 18. She said she wasn’t a good girlfriend, but I think differently. I think I was a bad partner.

I feel a nervous, tingling sensation in my chest and stomach when I think about Emma, and sometimes my face gets hot. I wouldn’t mind kissing her and I miss our relationship a little, but it’s also okay for me to just be friends, because I don’t know if she still likes girls/non-binary people.

What should I do? Do I still like her romantically? I have a girlfriend and queerplatonic partner, but I am also polyamorous.

I would either not risk making my girlfriend especially upset and not say anything because Emma doesn’t wanna date anyone, or I’d get it off my chest.

    Disclose everything to your partner and check with them.

    They said that you can date whoever you want, then they should be fine with it and appreciate the transparency.

    If they’re not okay with it, you can discuss it to understand each other and reach a common ground (which, if they are actually not okay with it, probably means not dating the other one, or breaking up, the other options are generally not a good idea).

    Overall, just communicate, as that’s the core of a decent relationship, and do not let disagreements break this communication, and you’ll be fine.
