Should I add him?

I've been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and I love him from the bottom of my heart. But recently I've been bumping into this guy who I went to primary school with (I'm now 21). When we were at primary school we had an on/off 'relationship' thing even though it obviously wasnt a proper relationship aged 8. He was one of the 'bad boys' but really sweet. I've seen him a few times over the years and he's always stood up for me if people start on me. Anyway, like I said I've been bumping into him a lot recently and I kind of get the feeling I'm getting a crush on him. I get really excited about the fact I saw him or he said hi to me. He's just found and added me on facebook and I dont know if I should add him or not because I've always been a bit of a flirt, but I dont want to risk my relationship. How do I know if I can trust myself to just talk to him like a friend? Should I refuse his friends request and try not to talk to him or see him? Advice please.

Does your boyfriend know you're a bit of a flirt? If he does and nothing actually happens then you'll be fine. I am pretty flirty naturally with people as well, and I recently made good friends with a guy over world of warcraft and my boyfriend got a bit jealous of the way we spoke until he realised that that's just how I behave, that it meant nothing and I was with him for a reason.
The other thing is: is it really a crush or is it just nostalgia? You say he always stands up for you etc, but your crush could very well be just appreciation. Idk.
