hello D:
I have a bit of a problem, just because I'm kindof clueless as to what to do
it's a long story, but the long and short of it is that about two years ago, this girl and I that I was close with began to go out, and we were together a few months and everything, it was great and all, but eventually she broke it off with me because of her parents being so hard on her expectation-wise, and so I was cool with that.
so we ended up becoming like, closest friends, which is amazing because I swear this girl can read me like a book, and i sometimes feel the same. the only problem is that in the meantime, she eventually began to see someone else, a friend of both of ours, and he's a real cool guy and everything, and they've been going steady for over a year now, twice as long as what she and I had.
I still feel for her really badly, though, and recently i opened myself up to her about how I felt, and how that I really needed her to be in my life again, as it's been about two years or so that we've been apart
She explained to me that there might be some feelings deep inside her that still love me as more than just a friend, but that right now, she's happy with me just being her closest friend, which we still are
my problem here is that I'm not sure of what to do, this girl is my practical best friend and I can tell her anything, but I really love her like crazy and i'm thinking about her all the time. the guy she's with is really great though, and like, i don't know if there's even a way I could show her that I'd be better than him or something
I confided all this into a mutual friend of me and my ex, who, having known the both of us as long as we've known each other, told me that he really does think that she and I could have a potential future together, but that for the time being, i shouldn't talk to her about it and that I should "let time run it's course." while I agree with his advice, I'm still a bit lost as to what to do, because the guy she's with is great and all, and neither are the kind of person that's just gonna up and leave the other; their relationship is just as strong as she and I's was if not stronger.
i just really can't seem to find intrest in other people, something in my chest just tells me to go after this girl, you know? So can anyone help me as in what direction to go in? I'd do anything to be with her again...
