I haven't dated different people. Harry and I are friends and we have an arrangement, but I've only ever dated Justin. That doesn't necessarily make things easier, though. I am quite sure that Justin sometimes feels jealous, even if he knows that what Harry and I have is an arrangement and not true love.
You don't owe Draco or Terry anything other than your friendship, which you've already given them, and will continue to do so, I assume. And I don't know about Terry but I don't think Draco has ever asked for more, has he? He knows you're not interested, yes? And while he might be hoping that changes, someday, I don't know... I have a feeling Terry might be hoping for it more.
It's bound to hurt because these things do, even when the other person is understanding about it. But you know, I'm not sure much could compare to what Draco's already been through. Or Terry, for that matter.
You're not going to heal either of them by staying with them, either - nor will you heal them by not getting to know other boys.
