Do I have a crush? Should I tell my partners?

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.

Just live with it. Quietly.

Especially if you have no plans to take any action.

Unless there is a significant problem affecting someone else.

Confide in a third party of you have to 'get it off your chest', consider using a counselor for this.
