So I guess I'm falling for a friend...

Why bother?

Do you want people to scream at you?

At the end of the day, you have to realize that we're just not that emotionally invested in whether you take action or not.

All the avatars that give you advice are doing so from a logical or experiential viewpoint.

Tell him. Don't tell him. You are the one in control of the opportunities here and the one that has to spend their days living with the consequences.

Well yes, but I suppose you guys have a more objective point of view than mine.
Also, I never had a relationship so I have no clue what does it take or where does it come from. I'm just looking for a little enlightment here, I'm not asking you guys to do the deal for me, that's all... :-)
 
I have a question, why does the OP like this guy? What is so special about him? The OP has to remember the guy just broke up with the boyfriend but it doesn't mean they will never talk to each other or be together again?

I think the friend knows the OP likes him but he wants the OP to make a move.

The OP has to decide if this guy is really worth it? There is a a risk though to the friendship.

Why doesn't the OP stop investing so much energy into this unattainable guy and try to meet someone else that is single?

I think if the OP meets someone that is single and really give dating a chance maybe he will be happier.
 
well you should have listened and tell him while he was still in a relationship. Now you'll end up being the rebound guy if you confess and we all know rebound guys never go anywhere.
 
I haven't told him yet.
He and the boyfriend got back together and they seem to be fine. I just didn't really had a chance of telling him these days, and I'm not so brave to do so. Something I must overcome.

He is not a bad guy like it may seem. I guess he just feels this connection with me. I just don't know the extent of that connection. And then he sends me all kinds of mixed signals I'm left confused.

We went out yesterday and had a moment alone. I kept telling to myself to say it to him but I just couldn't do it. I just don't have the balls it seems.

I do not know.

I'm standing here right now with the phone in my hands ready to text him about it. But I'm not sure what to say. It feels so blah using a text, but I just can't say it to his face.

...Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...

I'm waiting for the evil twin.


On a more serious note, if you haven't said anything by now, you're not going to. You want guarantees you'll never get.

"the time was never right," is always code for being unwilling to take positive action. If you wanted him that badly, you'd have made the time, and if you were so convinced he was your "soul mate," you would have overcome your fear.

I suspect you're enjoying the angst and the drama - and that the indecision is less frightening than actually putting yourself out there to find a guy who's not all tied up in someone else's relationship.

Where do you see this going?

By the way, the idea that there is only one guy who is "perfect," for you is a particularly tired and shabby bill of goods. No guy is perfect, and there is more than one guy out there who you could have a successful relationship with.

So why all the doom and gloom over someone else's boyfriend?

Nothing to see here, move along.
 
Oh and put the text away. Texting someone how much you like them reeks of passing notes in high school.

I do have an evil twin btw... :D

"and that the indecision is less frightening than actually putting yourself out there"

well that part is true, I tell you that much. but it's just that the market over here is not so appealing to me, so I find it hard to actually get interested in a guy. they are just not interesting.

with this one, however, I have a really deep connection. and he knows it. boyfriend or no boyfriend, it doesn't really matter, I would probably feel the same if he was married with children. I don't know about you, but unfortunatly I cannot control who I fall for. it just happens.
I can however slowly let myself go from this infatuation, but I can't, not while he's feeling it too.

I just told him, not word for word but it was quite explicit, and he gently told me to find someone else. that I shouldn't let myself get stuck in this situation.
maybe is my inner dreamer, but I do refuse to do so because I know this guy and I know how he feels about our connection and him having a boyfriend. It's all too messed up for him to even consider making a move, so he doesn't and he just does nothing. I refuse. If I want him, then I want him and there's nothing I can do about it. I think time will tell if we're actually meant to have something other than our friendship or not. I just hope he'll come to his senses about his destructive long-distance relationship, even if that means I won't get nothing.


So yeah, I do dramatize because that's how I get when I feel something for someone. Maybe because I'm so eager to have a relationship, since I never had one. But surely you can't understand that point of view?

Thank you all for the patience.
