hi there, how r u? here's my female perspective:
First, u cheated, own up to it; don't minimise the situation by saying just a kiss. Love at first sight, no but obviously the girl at the party sparked something in u...it's your intuition telling u to pursue her. Think about what u want to do logically, not emotionally. Maybe u just feel lonely and u needed some 'action.' Can u truly be physically attracted to someone who's not as pretty as your gf? As for dropping hints, that's a cop out. Regardless of her sensitivity level, u should be mature enough to talk to her in person and just say it's been a great year w/ her but time to move on. You should respect her enough to be direct and upfront (but I'd hold off telling her there's someone else, that would be cruel). Be genuine, but not rude. hope that helps, best regards,
Dee

1 word for you, LUST.

I agree with KC Lee. Sounds like lust got to you. You really need to just own up to it and admit to your girlfriend that you kissed somebody else. Yes you did a crappy thing but it doesn't have to be the end of your relationship. She'll probably be angry but if you guys love each other and really want to be together you'll work it out.

Take care!

I think you should tell your girl friend about it. You need to decide though, what you want to do. If you want to persue something with this new girl, then be honest about it. In my opinion, honesty, trust and communication are critically important to a relationship. breaking up can be painful at first, but it happens all the time and people almost always get through it. Maybe you'll find you've got something really special with the new girl. I'm not condoning cheating, but to me, girl friend is a lot different from wife. Its ok to be open to other dating opportunities if the arise. You just need to be honest about it with your current girl friend.
