One girl, two guys - Darksoul

I met this girl on a cruise I went on for a week. She just happened to go to my camp.We fell in love. We did all the things that couples did except sex. The problem was she had a boyfriend that she just had a fight with. They were very awkward around each other.Well when we had to say goodbye we knew that wasn't going to end the love. We live 3 hrs away from each other and never see each other and her boyfriend is in her town. We talk on the phone everyday now.She is still with him but she is questioning their relationship. What should I do to make her mine forever or shall I just give up on the dream of having her in my arms again????

Dear Darksoul, I think that you should just come out with it and tell her how you feel. She obviously thinks a lot of you or other wise she wouldn't have spent all that time with you and talk to you on the phone every day. If she tells you that she just wants to be friends and nothing else, at least you will be put out of your misery and you can still carry on being friends as you are now. My guess from a girl's point of view is that she must like you quite a bit, since she got pretty close to you when you were both away but she is confused because of her boyfriend. It doesn't sound like they have a very good relationship. Does it? And it is you she is choosing as your confidant!!. There are more ways of having an affair than just the physical sort and it sounds to me like you two are already having an affair of the mind. At least if you tell her, she might decided that you care enough and it might be the incentive she needs to leave her present unsatisfactory relationship, if not, it will hurt but you can still be good friends. Pluck the courage to ask to see her again....and see what happens. BEST OF LUCK!!
