I am a Libra female. 6 months ago I met a guy at college. He started flirting with me and we used to have long conversations etc. It turns out he had been wanting to know me for years but I always came off cold and reclusive.



As time passed by I started falling for him. When I finally gathered the courage to tell him how I felt, he dropped the bomb that he just recently started seeing someone else & I was late by just 2 weeks but he wanted us to remain friends. He also said if he were single..he would have dated me instead.

Now he still initiates conversations, wants to hangout and tells me how beautiful I am etc. He even calls me thrice a week and we end up talking throughout the night. He divulged that he was in a pickle with the girl he is seeing mainly because of different religious beliefs, conflicting opinions, his parents dont like her and that she is not sure about him.. she thinks he is not into her. Until he makes a decision on what to do he is stuck. He vehemently protested that he doesn't see me as a second choice or backup plan but doesn't seem to realise thats exactly what is doing.

He has no experience with relationships.

Meanwhile I dont know what to do. I am not sitting around waiting for him.. but I really like this guy. And its killing me from inside. Should I stay his friend or should I leave?



Last night he again calls me telling about his relationship issues. The girl is avoiding meeting his parents and is in doubt saying that it almost seems he is going out with her to fill in the void he has in his life.

I don't know if he was serious or not, he said his mom would love to meet me and that I would be perfect. I just said my parents would surely love him too.

I would be leaving for my holiday soon. And he is leaving around the same. He wants to "catch up" before that. I was hoping my holiday would serve as much needed space.

The whole situation makes me want to run away from him and his indecisiveness is frustrating.

if he is torn, what's the status of his relationship, his girlfriend doesn't want to meet his parents...it's all noise.

the bottom line is he is not available. give this a wide berth for the time being. i wouldn't even be his friend at this point.

if you guys are meant to be together you will be but for now, extricate yourself completely from this mess. you only met 6 months ago.get out now and if your paths cross in the future then you can assess where you are at then but there is no point hanging around the fringes at this stage.

look after yourself first and leave him to sort out the situation he has created without your shoulder to cry on. he'll only end up using you and leaving you feeling resentful.

Yes. I suffer from anxiety and this drama is literally making me feel sick. I have decided I need to take care of myself first. I will part ways soon.

good luck. get the (head) space you desire and you'll leave room for much better things to enter.

I find it incredible disrespectful that he is flaunting his relationship after you divulged your deeper feelings for him.

On the flip side he is disrespecting his current gf by divulging problems in his relationship to you, a female who has declared deeper feeling towards him.

I'd have already distanced myself from this situation.

No time like the present.

Tell him that while you do value his friendship your not able to be a good friend until you move past your feelings for him.

You're allowing him to treat you as second choice.

Friends don't behave as you do and he knows how you feel. The friendship is crossing the line into his relationship.

I would freeze him out because of how you feel for him, be his friend if you want but talking all night and giving him relationship advice is probably not what you should be doing.

If he really cared he wouldn't be with her, she wouldn't be an issue because a Man that wants you will not be torn between another person & you. He would automatically drop her for you.

Plus a libra man doesn't talk about other women when truly in love with their woman. We only have eyes for you if your the one no questions asked.

Avoid heartache and move on to a single man that's going to make you his priority
