I have a question about relationships. Normally I would say "Don't be afraid of rejection, pain is a part of life" or something like that but, in practice that is hard to do.... Hypothetically: If you really like someone and you know the other person really likes you, it's a good thing to tell them right? Well this person is in a relationship. You know for sure this person likes their current partner either less or just about the same as you. Would it be better to go full blast and tell the person how you feel and risk losing them forever or just be friends and live with the regret of 'what if?' The practice: I'm a gambling man, to me life is all about the rule of the dice so it seems like right away I would tell the person but I can't decide. Back to the hyothetical-ness: My question is not what should I do, but what do you think you would do?
Sounds like you're well on your way of answering your question. Hang around her a bit. See if she says anything encouraging. Is she about to break up with her current boyfriend? Etc.
Rejection is always associated with pain. I hate rejection, I hate the pain. But pain will leave you one day again. And what if you would win her heart? You will never find it out, if you won`t risk anything. But I understand the problem. It is so hard!
That's how I feel but I'm still holding myself back........ I guess I figure if I stay friends with her I can wait my turn but, I know that is the wrong attitude
so what if you wait and she really breaks with her friend and then starts loving someone else? so you had waited for nothing...
Bearing in mind that I've never been in a sucessful or even a pleasant relationship... What I would do: I would walk around feeling sorry for myself and kicking myself for not having the balls to bust a move when I had the chance. What you should do: Something else.
wel i dont know your age but they will probs break up...and you will still be her friend.... friendship is the best way to start aything..tha way you will have respect..i think holding back at this time is wise
I had same problem a few years back. I waited and waited, and we became really really good friends. We never got together, But now she's one of my best friends. I'm happy with being such a good friend with her, because if we had gotten togther it wouldn't have worked and we'd probably hate each other now(I've watched her relationships and she always self destructs them).
