Absolutely. The romantic plot twist of a "love triangle" has been done so many times it's hard to even question it.
The protagonist "has to" make a choice between two (or more) interests that attract different aspects of their personality. In that he/she loves each in such different ways that it is a very difficult choice to make. Of course our monogamous culture requires a single love resolution, and the writer will provide clues to the reader (and the protagonist) about the "better" choice so that they can live happily ever after.
