So, I'm an eighteen year old girl, and I'm still fairly close friends with my first girlfriend-- I suppose you could call her my first love-- who I dated when I was fifteen for almost a year. We broke up mutually and we still are in the same group of friends, and since then we still talk pretty often.
Over the last summer, I met a new girl through friends and liked her pretty much instantly, and asked her out a few weeks later. We've been going out for almost eight months now and I really like her, but she lives about two hours away and we only get to see each other a few times a month, which can be a little frustrating.
The main problem is that recently (as in a month or so ago) my ex-girlfriend and I started to get closer as friends, and we've been talking more, spending more time together, etc. She's also started to act more physically affectionate with me in the usual way girls do with their friends, but unfortunately I've recently started to wonder if I'm developing romantic feelings for her again. There's obviously a lot of problems with this... I'm almost completely certain that she'd never reciprocate (since she was the one who initiated our breakup), I'm not sure if my feelings are romantic or just that I'm emotionally attached to her as a friend, and I still have strong feelings for my current girlfriend.
I haven't spoken to her or any of my mutual friends about this because I don't know what they'd say. To make matters worse, my current girlfriend is also friends with this same group, although she's not particularly close with anyone. Basically, I feel really confused and guilty in general about this situation... any advice??
