What should I do?

I'm in a relationship of 3 months and I'm madly in love, but my GF is a workaholic and I don't think she wants the same things as me in the distant future I.e. Serious commitments. We have had a conversation and she said she'd allocate more time for us instead of work. Already we have gone backwards.

Recently I've been seeing a friend and I think we are hitting it off and I kinda like her but I think it's because she is giving me her time and attention and we are similar I'm many ways. I'm feeling so guilty and I don't know what I want out the two.

Sorry - but you sound very young and very needy.
You are not 'madly in-love' with your GF - not if you are hitting it off with someone who is giving you attention.
You are 'in-love' with the idea of love and being in a relationship.

It's OK to be young and make mistakes. So long as you learn about life and yourself.

Good luck.

Yesterday you wanted to propose to her but now you "kinda like" someone else?

Okay...

If anyone tried to dictate to me how much time I should be working & confessed to being madly in love with me, after only 3 months would be booted into touch.

Ignoring your previous thread for a moment, you say shes a workaholic, could it be that you just have different priorities to each other and therefore arent suited? Not to mention three months is such a short space of time you dont really know each other at all yet - especially of she has been working alot. How much time has she actually spent with you?

Other thing to consider - some people find themselves madly attracted to people that appear to be unattainable in some way. There's a reason there are trite sayings about "playing it cool" because somewhere theres a grain of truth in that. Human nature makes the 'forbidden' or the 'unavailable' more enticing... perhaps there is a touch of that in there too, fuelling your 'madly in love' feelings?
