Do I wait while she dates her friend?

Ren Answers:

Dear Pretty Screwed Up...

This is always a tough topic to deal with; wait or don't wait. Trust me, I've been there too, so I do know how you feel.

She May Want You Only as a Friend

Shaggy

It's not that she doesn't like him, it's just that she knows Eric better.

There are a couple of things you may want to take into consideration. First, and this one may be a little rough, she might want you as her friend more than her boyfriend. Sometimes what may seem like an invitation just might not be.

Gillian

How could she know how much she liked him – they'd only known each other a couple of hours. He moves too fast!

In other words, when she said she liked you, maybe she meant as friends and didn't know how to tell you otherwise.

She May Not Know How To Deal with Her Feelings

Aaron

I think you're mistaken. Her actions speak louder than words.

Second, she might actually feel strongly for you but not know how to deal with it. So instead of talking to you about it, she's just avoiding your emails. This girl may actually like you, but not know how to say it or confront it.

She May Want To Avoid Hurting You

Third, does she know about your tough break ups? She may not want to hurt you by one day breaking up. Sometimes people do things that may seem hurtful or disrespectful when in reality, they are only trying not to. What's the best way to not have to hurt someone? Avoid relationships?

Pretty Screwed Up, take these into consideration. Maybe they are way off, or maybe they're close enough to shed some light on your situation.

She May Have To Experiment with Others

Gillian

What are you talking about? Eric doesn't even exist.

Still, the other guy thing – how much in common do they have? Does she talk about him all the time? A lot of the time, before two people finally get together, they have to experiment with other people before they realize just how perfect a match they already have and not known it.

Tell Her How You Feel

From what you say, it sounds as if you may be a match – tell her exactly how you feel about her. That's the hardest thing to do, but it's also the only thing to do.
