The girl I love is with another guy
Hello,
Ok so this girl is the sister of my best friend. She and I have always known each other and got on. Several years ago I realised I had feelings for this girl. My best pal even suggested that I ask her out a couple of years ago but I didn't think she was into me and gave it a miss, even though there had been a few occasions of flirting/almost-getting-it-on. I started seeing this other girl for a while but ended it after about 6 months because of my feeling for the original girl, especially after hearing she thought I was hot too.
So, last year I plucked up the courage and asked her out. We went out a couple of times and had fun. Finally we kissed. It was magic. The next day she tells me she's still seeing some guy (and had been for some time). I was naturally a bit heart broken and, rather depressingly, resigned myself to just being 'the friend of her bro'.
Over the last year I tried to reconcile my feelings and convince myself that she was happy with her fella and that I should try and be happy too.
But then last week we went out for a mutual friend's birthday. There were drinks and dancing and somehow we ended up kissing and finally admitting how we both felt. I was elated; she was telling me the same thoughts I have about her!
But she's still with this dude.
I don't think she is just stringing me along; I genuinely think she has feelings for me too. But what do I do? I am pretty confused right now.
I don't want to be a 'home-wrecker' and her boyfriend is the large, muscular boxing type... but... I still feel the same way about her regardless.
Sorry for going on so long and thanks for reading, any advice would be appreciated.
