Hi everyone. Well, this girl isn't my girlfriend. I've known her for ove a year now. We both like each other, and she wanted to go out but i didn't know, and now she's seeing someone else. I've asked her out and she basically said we can't because she's got a boyfriend and stuff like that. The thing is, I know she likes me too, even her friend has told me. She's been having problems with her boyfriend, he's been treating her pretty badly and she's turning to me lately. We've gotten really close the last few weeks. We've opened up to each other and talked about some personal things. She said i make her feel like she can trust me, and that she usually doesn't trust anyone. She also told me how much i mean to her and a lot of things like that. I've told her i like her and care about her - that was around the time this started so i think she liked it. I've never had this with anyone before, especially a girl that i really like. We used to be distant and she's always shut me out, now she's totally different towards me and we're getting along really well.
My question is, would it be a bad mistake to tell her i love her? I'm not saying doing it, i'm just curious. I really do care about her a lot, i've liked her since we met. I don't think saying "i like you" is enough because she means a lot to me and i have feelings for her. I want to her to see this and understand that her boyfriend is no good (he really isn't, i'm not just saying that b/c i like her) and i have strong feelings for her. What do you think? Or does this girl even like me as more than a friend? i can add more info if needed
