Everyone gather around, it's story time! Yaaay!
I'll try to keep this short (oops). Once upon a time, about 8 or 9 months ago to be specific, I met this girl. I had just been dumped around the time we met, and she was in a relationship that had been going for several months. She's funny, smart and pretty, the whole lot. So of course, I got my dumb ass friendzoned faster than you can say "Wow, this guy's a loser". We quickly became friends, and maybe a month later her and her boyfriend broke up (she dumped him). Now, having come out of a relationship myself not too long ago, I wasn't ready to cannonball into a new relationship, and I wasn't looking for a relationship in her either. We definitely flirted, though, and we still do, but I think it's just how our friendship works. She acts somewhat flirty to every guy she meets (not as much so as she does to me), though. By that, I mean she's really nice and innocent to everyone she talks to.
But anyway, back to the story. 3 or 4 months ago, she met a guy and they started to date almost immediately. This didn't bother me at the time, but over time since we've been back in school I've started to develop feelings for her. I think she has feelings for me too, but is afraid to show them too much because she's still dating someone else. She confides in me pretty much all of her feelings and thoughts, since we're best friends. From this, I've learned that she admits she really has nothing in common with him. I mean, they don't listen to the same music, like the same sports, watch the same movies and shows, and such as eachother. They still do find stuff to do, though. She also gets annoyed at him often, mostly about small things that I can tell bother her.
Despite all this, however, their relationship appears to be going strong, he has told her he loves her, and they've been to second base. That doesn't seem like very far, I know, she's told me that she's 'waiting for the right guy' and that stuff, and I don't think he's going to be that guy.
Which brings me to the question, how the hell do I turn being stranded in the friendzone into something more? I mean I don't want to break them up, but at the same time I think she kind of wants me to, even if she wouldn't admit it. What if I could be the 'right guy'?
Anyway, if you're actually still reading this, thanks for sitting through that. Any advice would be great, thanks!
