(18M) In a relationship but missing the thrill of flirting and talking to someone new

r/

I 18 M have been in a relationship for two years with my girlfriend 18 F. University started a little over a month ago, and lately I’ve been feeling kind of lost when it comes to my emotions. I love my girlfriend and genuinely enjoy being with her, but I’ve been craving that rush and excitement that comes with talking to someone new.

It’s not about sex or anything like that, it’s more about the attention, curiosity, and freedom that comes with meeting new people. I’ve been to a few events and parties recently, and I couldn’t help but wish I could’ve approached some girls and flirted a little, just for that thrill, you know what I mean. I wouldn’t cheat, but I’m starting to understand why some people do.

I’m sure some of you have gone through something similar or felt the same way. Any advice or perspective would be really appreciated

TL;DR what would you do in my position, am I wrong for feeling this way?
