In love, but no chance...

[LovelyTorment]

So, I've know this girl for almost five years now and I've always liked her. We dated a few times in middle school, but it didn't seem to last long. Recently, within the last 6 months or so, my feelings for her have skyrocketed. I would do anything for her and I never want to leave her side. There have been many nights where I dream of her and only her. I honestly love her, and want to tell her about my feelings...but there's one problem. She has a boyfriend. She thinks that they are meant to be together, and it hurts a lot. This guy is 4 years older than her, and recently joined the marines (which I sorta like lol). They started having sex within two months of dating, and have done it more times than I wish to count. I have no chance with her and I need to move on, but I can't. She is completely open about everything and plus she's a very physical person. She messes with me a lot, there was one day that she was rubbing my leg in class and trying to give me a boner, but it's not usually like that. She touches my sides or rubs underneath my chin like I'm a dog (which feel amazing lol). I've tried moving on, but I can't get her out of my head. Any advice?

And sorry that this is so long. I've been holding these feelings back for a while now and couldn't help it.

Its hard to move on. I had a similar problem and the only s olution is jus ift do things you enjoy and get distracted..

Forbidden love, huh?

I honestly think you need to move on. Unless her boyfriend is a jackass and all, then I think you should let her be happy. You never know what might happen.

She might be happy but you can express your feelings, you are not telling Her you want to be Her boyfriend. Is good to express you feelings.

leave her, if she's happy then just try and move on

thx everyone but ive tried to move on ive been trying for the past six months but its pretty hard to when she is one of only two people that i talk to everyday and yes shes happy and im glad for that but still.. and turin15, im pretty sure she already knows cuz we decided last summer before school to start dating after she broke up with her boyfriend who she didnt like. but i had to be special and wait to ask her in person and then she met her current boyfriend b4 i got the chance to ask her. again thx for the advice everyone but im prolly just going to have to deal with it for now and hope for a chance..

Learn to love yourself and try to build up your confidence. I'm not suggesting you become maliciously cocky out of bitterness, just to build up your self-esteem. Loving yourself will help you to move on. The world has much in store for you; remember that. Good luck.
