C told J how much im helping her and J is starting too get jealous. she came up too me today and said too me exactly "so i heard you've been helping C alot, i thought you where my work boyfriend. why do you talk too her so much?" it was said in a jokeing matter but i dont know i might be reading too much into it. i hung out with N only twice but she just got out of a rough relationship and i want too be there for her. essentially i want too pursue her in attempts of giving her everything that she missed in her last relationship and more. i really care about N and want too be there for her, but in order for me too do that i need too stop talking too J. because of the feelings i had for her. some friends who see me and J together say that she needs too make up her mind because its obvious that she has feelings for me. judgeing strictly by how she says "work boyfriend" does she have feelings for me? what do i do? i dont want too be with J but at the same time the old feelings still linger. i really want too be with N but J still brings back the old feelings. what do i do?

Dump J. A "work boyfriend " sounds nowhere near to a real boyfriend or even a future boyfriend. I think J just likes all the attention you have been showering her with. Focus on N., I think you've got better chances with her.
