AITA for being tempted with someone else despite being in a relationship

For context, I 'M24' and my partner 'F23' have been together for almost a year. We were mostly together physically, up until 2 months ago.

We are currently in a long distance relationship, and I've been trying so desperately to feel connected. I'm not fond of texting or calls in particular as i still can't feel her presence with that, i prefer face to face contact.

Just recently, I met someone 'F25' who's my type. looks-wise, personality-wise, etc. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because i was busy trying to connect with my current partner. But she was always busy with stuff. Meanwhile, I was spending more time with this new person due to personal reasons, but it was really important.

Whenever me and this new person hangout, i always feel ecstatic. We had similar views in life, and she's much more practical than my current partner. I can't help but feel drawn to her.

Additionally, when I realized I was developing feelings, I tried to be more distant with the new girl because of my respect with my partner. But as time passes, the more time we had to spend together, the more chances we got to talk, and the more I know about her, my interest just keeps growing.

I really like my partner, but my mind is being pulled by someone else.
