View Full Version : Love triangle weird-ness.

This girl I've had a crush on for years told me last week she's always had a thing for me, and that her mom loves me and always told her to make a move.. but she never did, as she didn't know I felt something too, and she didn't want to force something and make things awkward.. So.. A month ago she met a friend of mine who I've known since 5th grade, and... She's sort of, but not really dating him. They're definitely not official or anything..

So, now we're all in this weird mess.. My friend doesn't know she has feelings for me, but knows she and I hang out.. She stayed the night this past weekend and he was cool with it: again, he thinks we're just friends.

Anyway, I leave town for school in a little more than a week.. So nothing too serious will amount from all of this, at least not for a while... She's looking to move to Indianapolis soon, which is closer to me than him, as I'll be an hour away while he's twice as far and always broke.. So eventually something might actually happen.

This weekend she told me she's never been on a 'real' date, where the guy paid for her, ya know? So, since she presently has no cell phone, and doesn't get on AIM too much or anything, I have no route to contact her except for myspace, which she still doesn't check too often, but it's there for her to see.. So, I left a message to her saying, hey, let's go on a date, I'll cover your costs, but I want a kiss..

We've been holding hands, cuddling, and kissing places other than the mouth, as I don't mean any disrespect to my old friend.. But, it's the end of summer now, and I really want to kiss her.


... Now here's the part where you all say I'm a terrible friend. ;-)

... But, in all honesty, what would you do?

sounds liek she wants a free meal.

but in all seriousness...if you like her that much go for it. your friend should understand.

I wouldn't have said in the message I'll cover your costs but I want a kiss cause that sounds like you're bargaining with her. Just be assertive and make your move.

Well, it wouldn't be out for dinner, if that's what you mean. She really wants to see Pineapple Express, so it'd just be to a movie.. But, yeah. I want to actually kiss her at least once before summer's up..

Well, right now, like I said, we are doing SOME things, but we're refraining from kisses on the lips.. Because, out of respect to my friend I didn't want to push myself too far, really. But, at this point I really just want to kiss her..

So, it's not so much a bargain. Just.. We both want to see it, I don't have a problem with covering her ticket even as a friend.. But, it's just an offer, and a way to potentially get that kiss.

yeah I understand what you were trying to do..Just sometimes it's better to not let the girl in on the plan either. But I wish you the best of luck.

If you're confident you will cause its obvious you guys are close based on your story.

I am definitely comfortable with her, so I'd like to hope so.

that message sounds adorable. if i told a guy i liked him and i had been hanging around him alot that message would definitely make me smile. about you being a bad friend...you did like her first. did you ever tell your friend you liked her? and if she's into you why is she bothering with another guy?

Well, we hadn't seen each other at all this summer until last week, and they met in that lapse.. And.. I don't know. And, nope, he doesn't know she and I have any ideas at all past friendship.

I'm sorry I must go off topic and say that your avatar is pretty gross.. I double taked cause I thought it was an octopus at first.

well unfortunently, if she likes you and you like her then it looks like your friend is out of luck. maybe you should come clean with him though. hopefully he's not madly in love with her or anything

Get tested and then go find a new girl.

You should really specify where you'd be willing to give said kiss. Things could get ugly.

CTMarshall
08/05/08, 07:01 PM
well...the friend is obviously not too smart if he is gonna let his new girlfriend stay at your house for a night. I think that means that you're getting the "go ahead"...maybe..maybe not.

Ha. We haven't had sex, and she hasn't had sex with my friend either.

No need to get tested. We've both only had sex with one person. I don't know why she and I talked about that, among other things, this past weekend.

i had a similar experience with the end of your dilemma. my story is too long to get into, but we never ended up hooking up even though we were both single after 2 years of being in relationships. the last night i was in town we hung out for 4 hours, she ended up sneaking out of her house to come hang. we had a pretty sweet fucking night. and then when she gave me a chance to kiss her, i told her i loved her and hugged her. weakest thing i EVER did.

Nope, I was, as I already said, restraining myself, as was she.


Kissing everywhere but the mouth just to pretend like you aren't doing anything sketchy is not restraint - it's just a ploy to make yourselves feel like you aren't being shitty, which you are.

ditto.
if she knew you were telling the whole world about this she'd definitely think you're a creeper
hahahaha.

and yeah, i agree.
but seriously, i don't think he actually means everywhere but the mouth
just.. a lot of places, and not the mouth.
so that's a little better.

anyway.. updates?

anywhere but the mouth equated to: shoulder, arm, hand, cheek...

ha, see.. we were still keeping it pretty innocent. it was essentially just flirting at that level, still.

she called me after she messaged me and wants to hang out soon, and to "talk".. ha. i could fill her in on some things regarding my friend jeremy, but i don't really want to.. aka that he plans on leaving town within about two months to pursue his career, his drug habits, etc. ha.. all of which she doesn't know, but will i guess find out on her own soon enough should they work out for those couple of months if a title ever comes up.. which i doubt it will, given the timeframe.

Well, you need to hear it. How would you feel if you were the other guy? And I don't want you to tell me that he's a player or he's not really into it or some other crap. If you were into this girl and sort-of-maybe dating her, but all the while your best friend is secretly trying to steal her away. If you really like this girl, fucking go for it, but man up and tell your friend about it.

He's not looking for a girlfriend, she doesn't know that. He plans on leaving town to pursue his dream job within about two months, and she wants to move to Indianapolis as soon as she sells her car to have the money.. So nothing serious will happen between them, it's just a fling right now.

But, yeah, it is a bit shady, which is why we weren't kissing on the lips, because I didn't want to out of respect to my friend Jeremy.. But it's the end of the summer now, and I really just wanted that one real kiss before I left for school next week..

(This is all really really fresh)

so.. your just planning on sorta-dating her for awhile, then?
i guess you should just decide what you want..
to keep lying to jeremy? and have this pseudo-relationship..
or go for it with her, and hope he's not too pissed.

Ha, nothing'll happen between us for now.. or for them.. Everyone of us is moving soon. Me to Bloomington for school again, her to Indy, and he'll be traveling everywhere non-stop for his job..

So it's not really a pseudo-anything with me. ha

Do you want to date this girl or do you want a kiss? FFS. If you really cared more about this dude than you do the girl/yourself, you wouldn't have done anything. :shrug:

What's FFS?.. I wouldn't mind dating her, but it'd be a while before that ever started, like until she moved to Indy..

And, about the other part.. I've had a big crush on her for a few years, and I just learned last week she's basically been the same for me.. And she and Jeremy just met, he I've known since 5th grade.. It's all weird..

I got into my first real relationship the summer after my freshman year.. And it lasted for a year.. Now she's about to go off to college and she decided she didn't want a relationship anymore.. So it's good while it lasts, but it sucks when reality bites back.

For fucks sake.

If you both like each other, why is she bothering with this other guy? I'd watch out. But honestly, it doesn't matter if you're moving away for a little while, you can make it work it you want to, just don't wait for it.

Ha.. I don't know.. Because before she and I got a hold of each other at all this summer he and she started to do their "pseudo-dating," as Ashley put it..

But, with all of us moving.. Her and I's odds are best.. As she'll be about an hour from me for school, while he'll be who-knows-where.

Okay. So go for it. You have nothing to lose. You're already this thing on the side. If you're really serious about it and tell her, it'll make her seriously think about it. You might come out on top, and sooner than you think. Just stop dicking around.

Ha, but, again, I leave in a week..

And we all leave soon enough. When she called me earlier tonight she said she wants to talk about all of this, and so if it's not all negative.. then it'll leave room for something with me when she moves, potentially at least..

But! I like how you've completely jumped the fence on this now! ha

Sort of?.. We've known each other for a long time, but that doesn't make us the best of friends. We hang out every now and then.. We only really recently began to hang out more because he currently lives within about a mile of my house, so it's more convenient than ever.

I just think it's ridiculous, really. You're biding your time and hoping things work out in your favor. Neither of you seem to realize that it is entirely in your hands. You're just playing foolish games. Fooooolish gaaames.

Ha, well, the whole issue started over me not wanting to go too far into it because of my friend who I've known a lot longer than she has, and she I've also known a lot longer than he has.. But.. I didn't want to be at fault for that going sour, or feel like an entirely bad friend.. So, before the first time we hung out last week, the first time this summer.. We talked on AIM, and that's where we learned we've both liked each other for a long time.. So, we hung out, and we did the flirty kisses, but not on the lips, I even laid that rule out before we hung out.. ha.. But now I really want to as it's the very end of summer.

It needs to be all or nothing. You can't say that you respect your friend and don't want to fuck things up and then proceed to interact with this girl the way that you do. "Flirty kisses," while, yes, are less severe than "real" kisses, is still crossing the line. The fact that you even have to set boundaries before meeting is proof of that. But I guess that's just my opinion. If you don't care about your friend, continue to do what you're doing. If you want this girl, go for her. If you go for her, tell your friend. I don't think it's really that difficult to realize, I think you're just scared.

Ha.. Well, again, ouch. And, I really don't envision a relationship with this girl, at least not right now.. Maybe down the line when she moves.. But we'll continue to hang out.. But, given her response to my asking her on a date, the next time i see her I'll hold back pretty much entirely and just do the friend thing like she and I always did before last week.

I think that sounds like a good idea. Next time she gives you a chance though, don't hesitate.
