Let's be honest,
you kind of are doing something wrong (see answer to MikeyG
for more info). You are flirting and hoping for more of a
relationship. So, you have three options.
- Continue to suppress
your feelings, see each other in only safe, social situations,
be miserable for a few more months, and eventually decide to break
off the friendship so you can get over it.
-
Tell
her how you feel, tell her what you would like to happen (you
should probably think this through ahead of time) and give her
the opportunity to react - possibly in your favor.
- Respect her boyfriend's
wishes and stop seeing her, and work on moving on with your life
right now.
You
should choose one of the above options based on your tolerance
for risk and turmoil.
#2 poses the most risk with the greatest chance for return.
#1 will draw out
your turmoil the longest but has virtually no risk. #3 has
some risk - i.e., you may lose your friendship, but also minimizes
the long-term turmoil.
I'm always an advocate
for honesty(#2), but in this case you have to think of her
feelings, too. Is she happy with her boyfriend? Would you
be ruining a "good thing" for her if you made her question
her relationship with you and her boyfriend?
Good luck deciding.
