I was about to propose to my girlfriend until I found my first love on social media

DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS considering proposing to my girlfriend until I found my first love on social media last month.

My girlfriend is lovely but life is too short to be with the wrong person.

I’m 32 and my girlfriend is 31.

I thought we were good together until I saw my first love after 11 years without contact.

I was bowled over when I saw her. She’s as hot as ever.

Now we talk every day and the chemistry is there.

She’s single with two young children.

We didn’t do anything that evening but I can’t stop thinking about her.

She wants to see more of me and I want to be with her.

DEIDRE SAYS: Be wary of making a rash decision.

Old feelings have been reignited but could be a flash in the pan.

Are you up for taking on her kids?

Tell your girlfriend you are not sure the relationship is working and see if you can both change to strengthen it.

Meanwhile, keep it strictly friends-only with your old flame until you can be sure of your feelings in the long term.
