I've kinda had this thing with a girl we'll call A. We started talking after we hung out together one night with a bunch of other people. We were in the same class, so simple talking was kind of inevitable. I've always thought she was really cute but eventually our friendship got to the point where I felt I had to admit it... and the weird thing is she admitted she likes me too. It was kind of a problem, since she had a boyfriend, who was one of the people we hung out with that night.
She never seemed happy with him, and from my point of view, if he was worth it, her and I would have never had anything like we do. She never seemed to just be satisfied with the relationship, she herself said it wasn't healthy, and everybody I've talked to about it says pretty much the same thing. Something just isn't working. But he was her first boyfriend she ever had, and it lasted for a year and change. She really loved him.
Thing is, she just broke up with him last night. It was bound to happen, I guess, but now she feels like she really regrets it... she feels like she made a mistake and I don't know what I can do to make her feel like what she did was a good thing. She texted me after we hung out with others and said some things like she was miserable without him and I'm just not him, etc etc. It's the truth, I guess, but I don't know how to convince her of otherwise... I don't know what to do, whether to give her space or what...
I've never felt the way I do about A with any other girl. She means a lot to me in every way you can imagine. I've never had a girlfriend or anything like this with a girl, I guess I could just use some guidance...
Also I think it's worth noting that her boyfriend knew what was going on the whole time... she told him all we did (and even caught me dropping her off at her house one night). She's just a great girl, I just don't know how to convince her she is and she deserves better than what she had.
Serious responses would be appreciated...
