Is it okay to give up?

I’ve been seeing the same guy for four months. I’m 25 and he’s 30. He’s wonderful and we get along great. He’s supportive and knows when I’m stressed before I even say anything. He just met my sister and brother in law who are my only family in this state. We’ve barely had any problems and we’ve been open about our feelings. I’ve told him though I get anxious that he won’t text me except to hang out (I’ve been through his texts and he doesn’t text anybody back) and how I’m pretty unsure how he feels about me most of the time. I thought things were going good and now I haven’t heard from him and he didn’t respond to any of my texts the last four or five days. I’ve tried to have a DTR type talk but it never really hits and he never talks about a future or a relationship. Things were going so well but now I’ve kind of messed up my head.

Yesterday I met a guy randomly. ( I found out he’s even older than my current guy later) We started talking and hit things off so we went and grabbed margaritas together. I had no makeup on as I’d just been wandering around outside all day. He complimented me regardless. He got really nervous when the server asked if we were on a first date and blushed hard as she continued to poke fun the rest of our time there. We sat in his truck afterwards with his puppy and talked. He very nervously gave me a kiss goodbye and asked for my number. He immediately texted me with a shower of compliments and asked how soon could he come see me again. We talked on the phone for two hours last night about how we both had failed engagements. We both have the same exact five year plan.

I feel guilty as I’ve been seeing the first guy what I felt was seriously but I have had my doubts the past two months (a Bobby pin in his bed, long dark hair on his bathroom floor, a visit to see his female friend in LA). Even though my stuff sits on his counter I still feel like we aren’t exclusive and I’ve expressed I’m exclusive but he hasn’t. He doesn’t compliment me much except when we start taking off clothes which I never minded but this new guy reminded me of what I want. I want a guy who really wants a relationship for marriage, will compliment me (I’m not vain but hell was it nice to hear I’m beautiful once and know he really feels it) and respond to my texts (not always but don’t leave me hanging for days), and just someone I won’t feel so confused with.

Is it bad to want to give up on guy one. Like regardless of this new guy. This new guy just happens to be a catalyst for some thoughts I’ve been hiding. I’ve been pushing down these feelings of just because this guy is ideally want I want (smart, successful, kind) doesn’t mean we are meant to be. We clearly have different styles and possibly different plans for life. Is it okay to just give up a semi-perfect guy to find someone who might work out better? I’m scared to give up something so good to get exactly what I want which may not even happen.
