Ok, so there's this girl I like at work. Within the past two weeks, this has all happened. She found out from somebody that I like her, so we trade numbers, and go out for coffee a couple of times. No big deal. Things are going great.
One problem...she has a boyfriend.
Now she has complained to various people, including myself, about him, and indications were given that it might not last long between them. Until last night...
She came out and asked me if I liked her as 'more than a friend'. Since she's asking the question, she already knows the answer, so of course I told her yes, and she basically came out and said to me that she was with her boyfriend and that wasn't going to change.
That really shocked me. I of course knew she had a boyfriend, and I might be setting myself up, but the other half thought she just might come my way.
So I left work about a half hour later, drove around for another hour, went home, had a stiff drink, and tried to goto sleep.
After staring at the clock for a good 2 hours, not being able to sleep, my cell phone rings. Guess who?
She couldn't sleep either, because she felt really bad about what she said. Esentially, she told me she wanted to still be friends, but was afraid she was leading me on. I told her I respected her current relationship, and I wasn't there to try and break them up.
Anyway, we agreed to be friends still, and she knows I still like her, but I'm concerned that she'll never see me as more than a friend.
And of course I really don't understand what she sees in this guy. He's unemployed, immature, lazy, and generally disrespectful of the opposite sex.
I don't know what I've gotten myself into here, advice anyone?
