Help Me! I Don't Know What to Do

I have been dating this guy for two years. We were high school sweethearts and now are off at college. We had our share of relationship problems. He is a very jealous suspicious guy who doesn't want me to even talk to other guys. I was emotionally unstable due to family problems. We say we love eachother yet he refuses to buy me a promise ring or get married anytime within the next three years. Which by that time we will have been together for 5 years. Before we left for school we decided to leave the door open for dating other people. Well, I met this guy at church and he is great! He is smart and funny and he likes kids and animals and we have only spent about 4 hours together but I can't get him out of my mind. He seems like everything I have ever wanted in a guy.

I have had lots of doubts before about my current realtionship and now that I met someone who seems so perfect I am definitely having doubts.
How much longer should I wait to see if my feelings change at all before I call it quits with my curretn boyfriend to be with the guy I adore?
Please help me im nervous and scared and happy all at the same time

You need to work out if your just hanging on to the past coz ur scared of being alone or if u really love him........... If u love him ( ur current b/f) do ur best to keep the relatoinship strong..... Tlk to him bout ur concerns.................. If its not love get bak out there n c wot this new guy is like............... U need to make urself happy cuz no1 else will do it 4 u!!!
Remember u and only u can make ur own fate......... Make sure ur's is how u honestly want it

It doesn't seem like you love your present boyfriend. You are probably just very used to being with him. I wouldn't rush things though and just see how it goes with with this new guy. Most importantly compare how both are treating you, whether you have similar interests.,etc

Thanks
Hey thanks for the advice. Ou relationship has had alot of ups and downs, he is controlling and cna be very jealous and suspicious, sometimes it bothers me that he is like that and sometimes it doesn't. Right now im just not sure that I love him anymore, I feel like I need to get back out into the dating world and see what everyone else is like.

The new guy i've been seeing is really sweet and I love hanging out with him. He is 24 and im 18, which means I have alot of time to decide. I really like this new guy but I don't know how to tell if its just that im excited that someone is paying attention to me or if I really am ready to seriously see someone else and forget about my b/f.

I tried talking to him a little about how I was feeling this past week and he was so broken up and just kept asking why I would wnat someone else when he's been there for me for the past two years through all my family problems.

Im just not sure. I'm definitely not in love with him anymore, but I don't know if im still talking to him just in case someone else doesnt' work out. So basically im still really confused:(
