Hey Seddit,
I've been lurking for a while, I just made a throwaway account to get some advice.
So I've been acquaintances with this girl for about one year now. Up until more recently, the only time we ever really saw each other was when our group of friends would hang out, but other than that we never really had a friendship outside of that, largely on account of the fact she was in a long term (and long distance) relationship.
Then one night, we both ended up pretty drunk and we kissed. One of our friends was with us and pulled us off each other, and the next day she freaked out over what she had done (she was still in the relationship). Due to this kiss, and due to her freaking out, she ended up calling me and I spent a good amount of time with her calming her down, and we ended up getting to know each other pretty well. From this point on, we were pretty good friends, and I started crushing on her but I suppressed the hell out of my feelings because I wasn't planning on being a homewrecker.
Fast forward a few months, another drunken night, she announces to me she's planning on breaking up with her boyfriend, and we end up making out but she backs away after a few kisses, and I leave super confused. This pulls my feelings out of their suppression. A few days later, she lets me know that her and her boyfriend have broken it off.
Now it's been less than a month since her and her boyfriend broke up, and I definitely didn't want to be the rebound guy. So I've given her space, and I didn't wanna pressure her in any way so I've kept how I feel under wraps. The reason why I continue to feel I am in the friend zone is because she continues to confide in me about a guy she started seeing casually before her and her boyfriend broke up - she likes him but neither of them have actually made any moves because this guy also has a girlfriend so her casual relationship with this guy is going nowhere. And I'm left utterly confused.
Anyways seddit, I'm looking for advice on how to pursue this, or whether I am wasting my time.
TL;DR: I'm crushing on a friend who (kind of) likes another dude. What do I do?
