[26F] Can’t stop thinking about someone I briefly met [24M], even though I have a boyfriend [28M]

I (26F) met this guy (24M) a while back who really left a lasting impression on me. He was tall, Hispanic, light-skinned, and very handsome. But honestly, it wasn’t just his looks that stood out. What really struck me was how respectful, well-mannered, and composed he was. His demeanor was calm and confident without being cocky, and that’s what really stuck with me. I wouldn’t have cared how attractive he was if his attitude had been off, but the way he carried himself said a lot.

We didn’t spend much time together, but our brief interaction felt different, like there was some kind of spark or unspoken energy. I keep wondering if he felt it too, or if I’m just romanticizing something small. We haven’t stayed in touch, but I find myself thinking about him way more than I probably should.

The complicating part is that I’m currently in a relationship with my boyfriend (28M), and to be honest, it’s a complicated and complex one. There’s history, emotional layers, and a lot of gray area that makes everything harder to navigate. Things aren’t necessarily bad between us, but this situation has made me question a few things. I’m not looking to cheat or do anything shady..I’m just confused why someone I barely know has taken up so much space in my head. It’s not even about physical attraction at this point. It’s more about the way that brief encounter made me feel.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? Does it mean something deeper about my current relationship, or is it just one of those random moments that lingers without meaning much?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
