Is this wrong?

Is it wrong to really like somebody who's with another guy?

I mean i'd never act on it. I think that kind of thing is totally out of order. When she's happy she should be left well alone.

But i really like her, and unlike other times before i can't just move on. Despite the fact shes in what looks like a long term relationship.

Is this stupid to still be hopeful in a way?
I mean relationships don't last forever right? She'll be single again one day. And i really do like her enough to wait.

Not wrong at all, you can't control who you have feelings for. As long as you don't do anything out of order, which you said you wouldnt, then it's fine.
It's good that you feel that you can wait for her but don't put your life on hold or anything. Go out and have fun, you never know- you could akways find another girl who you have the same feelings for!

Youll probablly be staying single forever then, you could wait and say she did become single again, how do you know she would want to go out with you????
Plenty more fish in the sea, ive made the mistake of waiting ages for 1 girl and missing out on other genuine girls, then the other girl ends up getting a bf.
So your taking a big risk

Yeah sounds sensible and all.

But would u recommend still keeping in touch with her and stuff?
Like the old 'you never know what will happen' scenario?

And i dont intend to stop meeting people, but then i dont intend to walk away from this either. Although it confuses me to hell, but then im asking for confusion cos i'm a stubborn *******
:p:

Well yeah, if you're mates, stay in touch by all means. There's nothing wrong with that. Unless, in time, you decide you want to get over her- then is prob best to stop contact.
You never know what will happen, but you gotta keep in mind that it might not go to your plan and things might turn so different.
Good luck anyways. X

Whats awful is if I thought I had a chance with someone who was with someone else, and I had really fallen for them, I would persue it- so I wouldn't judge you. All's fair in love and war as they say.

Because theres other girls out there who are just as nice as her maybe.
Plus shes in a relationship and put yourself in her bf's shoes, you would hate it if you knew there was another guy after your gf wouldnt you???
It might not seem like it right now, but you can get over this.

Of course it isn't wrong. However it isn't healthy for you to wait for her because you could be waiting forever..... Just put yourself in the position of her boyfriend too. You wouldn't like it.

you may wait... but do not stay alone.

I'd say Act on it, I look at things like You'd be doing him and her a favour by testing their relationship. If she strays with you, well obviously they weren't ment to be, and the sooner that they both know the better.
If she stays faithful to him, that'll make their relationship all the more stronger, and at least you have some closure.
