GIRL PROBLEM (I’m a guy) please help!

:( All right, I need advice. This girl and I have been friends for a year or more and I’ve never been attracted to her because she is younger than me (2 years). I met her because she was a friend of mine’s girl friend and they broke up over 6 months ago.

Well recently I started hanging out with her, talking to her and partying with her and I really felt a connection with this girl mentally and physically. One drunk night we kissed and I just shrugged it off thinking it was just in the heat of the moment but then days later, when we were hanging out, sober, and kissed / more than friendly contact I knew she could really like me so this is where I started getting happy about everything. Many weeks passed of good times together and I finally asked her if she liked me more than a friend, her answer was good but horrible.

She said she did like me but she could never date me because she is still attached to her EX and she can’t see herself ever being distant from him and if we ever became a couple her relationship with him would end. So, no decision is really reached and I plan to talk to her in person about it so I let it go. The next time we are together it is at a party and we both get wasted and talk about it once again, coming to the conclusion that we like each other but I still come second and that is how it will always be.

Later on we end up hooking up for like 3+ hours doing everything under the sun with each other sexually. I was the 2nd guy she had ever been with and her my 3rd. About a week has passed and we have talked a little bit online but it doesn’t seem the same. I really like this girl and would love her to be in my life but I realize I cannot obsess over her and I might have to just stop liking her but I just cannot do it every time I think about her I get happy and sad at the same time.

Could anyone please shed a second look/opinion on the situation. The two choices I think I have are: (1) Try to avoid seeing / thinking about her and eventually I will get over her and find someone else. (2) Continue to stay in contact and try to make it a strictly friends relationship, hoping one day she will realize that her ex is no good for her.

for one… a first love is something that is held close to someone heart… no matter what… for some reason that is just how it is…

but for her to keep this guy in her life keeping her away from getting on with her life.. then it sounds like she is having obsessions about him.. which is not good at all… eventually it will pass and she will learn that life continues outside of this guy.. but until then… this is where she is…

my advise is… move on… if you dont, you will be miserable.. and that isnt fair to you… so let her know where you stand… if she cant put you first…. then move on… and find someone who will respect and love you back..

go with option 2, and also when you’re with her don’t over think things, just relax and enjoy the moment.

Thanks all. I’ll ride it out and if she wants to get serious she’s going to have to move on from her ex.

Yeah, they were together for less than a year. I didn’t realize she was this serious with him until recently. He has had other girl friends and they barely hang out but I think she is stuck on him.

I think you should stay away from her and let her decide whether she would have something serious with you or not. I personally wouldnt be with a girl who still has feelings for her ex.

Its like Shie said and I agree:

You already have emotions all up in the mix and she isnt ‘valueing’ them. In that sense, to her (in this point in time) its more important what the ex would feel for her than what you have already invested in.
I think she is still hurt because the breakup. Maybe she feels you just “distract” her from her ‘hurt’ (?). Is she depressed?

All this I just say as a possibility.

In regards of your points of view…
I say do #1.

#2 is hard and as long as she feels that way, its gonna be confusing and hurtful.
Unless ofcourse, you can deal with it in ways that dont mess your head up and you manage your emotions well.
