I think you have to follow your heart. It would be the right thing to do if you care about your boyfriend, because you need to be honest.

You may end up like me (I was in a similar situation) and now I am on my own, but no matter what happens in the future, at least you will know that by being honestyou did the right thing.

It is only fair to your "bf" that you are upfront and honest and break it off with him. It isn't right to keep holding on to him and stringing him along if you love someone else. Be honest and let him go find someone who truly loves him.

Break up with your boyfriend.

If you are no longer in love with your partner then you do both him and you a disservice by pretending something that isn't there.
But also be aware the difference between a crush, being 'in lust' and being in love - this 'someone else' might just be a temporary distraction. If you genuinely love this person - even if for whatever reason it wont ever happen between you - why would you WANT to be with anyone else?
Whatever the case - sounds like someone is going to end up hurt, (please note: cheating is not the answer to ANYTHING) best thing you can do is be 100% honest.

If they guy you love is free, then get with him. If he isn't, then love the one you're with.

Go for love... I know easier said than done, I love my bf with all my heart, he is stubborn, self centered and he makes me crazy but I could not imagine just being in love with him from a far! I did that once and I felt like I was dead inside

I would say it it time to move on, the longer you stay with him the more his emotions aside. Plus if your not happy then go with what does make you happy.
