Am I reading too much into things?

[Larryhausen]

Ok, I'll try to make this as short as possible. I recently got dumped. It wasn't a very long relationship, but it coincided with the onset of seasonal depression, and put me really down in the dumps. The only one of my friends who seemed to empathize with me was this girl. Who happens to have a boyfriend atm. Who happens to be insanely gorgeous.

Who happens to be my roommates ex girlfriend.

Who happens to be attracted to me.

Now, I know this, because we made out a few times over the summer. It never went farther than that, because her love life was a little chaotic at the time, and we didn't want to jeopardize either of our friendships with my roommate.

Now here's where it gets interesting. Her and my roommate had a falling out last month, and neither wants anything to do with the other. Also, ever since she helped me out when I was in the dumps, old feelings I promised I'd bury are starting to creep up. I absolutely will not do anything to sabotage her current relationship, though.

But it seems like the guy is doing a good enough job of that himself. She constantly is texting me when she's out with him, once or twice drunkenly stating how miserable she is. Also, we met up at a bar the other night that is literally right between our houses. Less than a five minute walk from her house to the bar. It took her 45 minutes to show up, and hair was all done, makeup and perfume fully applied. All this to come hang out at a bar down the street, for two hours on a Sunday night.

Am I just grasping at straws here? Or should I make a move again if and when she's done with current dude? She's one of my best friends and I don't wanna do anything stupid, but at the same time, I know there's a mutual attraction that never escalated because of various roadblocks.

And, just to clarify: We never did anything while she was with my roommate. In fact, they broke up before I met either of them, which is why my otherwise infallible ExGirlfriend Switch didn't get flipped.

Sounds like you're both lonely and/or in a bad position. Embrace each other,that might help both of you.

Just bide your time. Be the shoulder for her to cry on. When she's had enough of her current relationship, that's when you swoop in.

Play that strategy careful. Good chance you could just be a rebound guy. Good chance you could just be her shoulder to cry on.

The last I actually had feelings for, I listened to her, was her shoulder to cry on about her shitty relationship, her telling my friend how awesome I was and how her boyfriend was a loser, we don't talk anymore. We didn't have a fight or a disagreement. She just stopped responding to me if I texted, made lame excuses to get out of plans she initiated, so I just decided if she wanted me that badly, she'd get ahold of me.

So we don't talk. Not fun, but at least I know.
