So here it is, in full blown excruciating detail.

About a year ago I met this girl in my home town at a friends house. I tried my hardest to talk to her but couldn’t get up the courage but I was sure she noticed, turns out she did. Problem was though that I went to school about 5 hours away so that was that for then. I come back from school a couple of months later after the school year is out (I ended up hating that school and never went back but this isn’t important till later) and i find out that my best friend is dating her. So all summer I sit idly by while, he treats her like ****, and she stays for some reason and i figure that at this point there is no chance for it to ever work out at this point. They break up mid way thru the summer, and I don’t see her for a couple months. About 4 weeks back she ends up calling me up asking if I wanted to go see a movie, I break my previous plans and meet her there. Skipping some details the night ends with us being together, by that I mean we are dating. Now we have good and fun times all along seeing each other and what not, I think I am in love. No I don’t mean true love maybe not even love actually but I have never felt better than when I held her in my arms. Thats why last week came as quite a surprise. She told me that she still had feelings for a previous ex, not my friend, some guy I don’t know that lives in Salem. I feel pretty ****** at that point but being the guy that I am I tell her that if she needs time to think then she can have it and I will wait and give her space so she can think it all thru. Fast forward to now, she to this day still hasn’t stopped talking to me or stopped flirting with me or any of that type of thing. I mean she just asked me an hour ago what I want for Christmas. Which I jokingly replied you haha. But here come the point where I need your help, advice from the ladies would be especially helpful, I really want to be with this girl is there anyway I can show her that without pushing her away or going to far? I mean I think I would be pretty unhappy if I knew that the reason that this didn’t work out rested on my shoulders.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance Bret.

See I don’t know about the pick me up, if anything my friend was. We had a connection, and I am not just saying this. She always says she wants to be with me even now, she just wants to get this guy out of her system to be fair to me.

You know you do help, even if its only for me to write out what I am thinking exactly and you are completely right I need to be a good friend. Least she would want me to know it she is in need and needs support.

ques mark is right. she don’t want to be in a relationship with you. She only wants to be friends and if that doesn’t hurt your feelings, then you should be her friend. She can confide in you that’s why she’s telling you things.

Maybe so, maybe not. i guess right now she doesn’t want a relationship with me thats true but I guess all I can do is be there for her and hope that maybe one day things go back to where they once were.

Its alright, with confirmation comes an assured mind. Restless it was, now it can be calm.

Mabey you can tell her in some form of communication that you still have feelings for her and see how she reacts. Try to keep an open mind =)

I think I am pretty simple, not in a mindset type of way, but I let people know what I want and try not to deceive them. But you are probably right I have probably brought confusion with me in my wake.

Haha well I am out of high school. I have came to the realization that wisdom hides itself in many places. I mean I am going to school to be a psychiatrist and I don’t have answers to my own problems so that must say something.

its so much easier helping someone else with their problems because you dont have to hear that little voice it the back of their head hidden deep within their subconsious. hearing someone else’s voice in place of that little one seems to have a better effect.
