So....about this girl...

[Shenron]

There is this girl I like at my school, we have alot of the same interests. I met her last year and we hit it off as friends. I would have sweet tea with me in the mornings and she would come over and just start drinking it lol. We laugh together and when I think of her I smile. She is a little bit of an oddball, but I like that, because I am too. I am the nerd with a wild side and she is the crazy person with a nerdy side. I really do like her. But I know she is in a relationship that I don't think is going very well. She says I am one of her "besties" and that makes me happy. I am shy though, and I dont know how to talk to her about how I feel. I think she may feel the same way about me.
Advice anyone?

Oh god, I hate to say it but you're in a horrible position.
You have two options.

If you are good to her, you will be there for her when she needs you. I see a break up with her boyfriend in the near future, and that is not as good as it seems. The problem is even if she hates the guy he will probably make her feel bad, meaning she's going to cry. When she cries she'll look for you, where you will comfort her and such. The big problem with this is that she is not going to be thinking about a new boyfriend after this, she'll be thinking about her ex, and you will become "the friend that was there for me", not "the guy that is so nice who I should date". I don't know why, but women can't seem to notice that the right person for them is right in front of them, not somewhere in neverever land.

Option 2 is like making a giant circle. Stop talking to her so often and let yourselves become more distant. Be the same guy, just in a different way. When she breaks up with her boyfriend, she will most likely be looking for a new one, which is here you come in. It's harsh, but if you really want to be with her it to me is the only way that actually happens and isn't out of a romance movie.

Your future, your choice.

Thank you so much for your advice. I don't think I will go with option 2 though because while I do love her, I want to be there for her when she needs me. If things are meant to be, hopefully they work out.
Again, thank you.
