I like him but he loves her. So why aren't they just together?

Question - (23 January 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 24 January 2012)
A female Canada age 30-35, *mmaHals writes:

So I've been having a "thing" with this guy. He's handsome (very), exceptionally intelligent, hard working, athletic, kind, thoughtfully, assertive, etc. I'm not the only girl to be drawn in by all these positive characteristics, and I doubt I'll be the last.

I have a strong urge to, for lack of better way of putting it, "make him mine." We've been seeing each other for about 2 months now and I'm starting to think he will never commit. The problem is his female friend. She's 6'1 (he's 6'2'), just as smart as him and frankly, every bit as good looking (she looks like should could be on a magazine cover). They've been friends since before they could walk (their parents were best friends), listen to the same music, read the same authors, have the same major -- their parents even went through chemotherapy together...and both subsequently passed away (his mom and her dad). He's so protective of her as well; if a guy even looks at her wrong, he's about a heartbeat away from caving the guy's head in...and she so, so affectionate with him. They hang out all the time. Yet, she sees other guys, and he clearly sees other girls.

They've even slept together, several times...I overheard her describe it to her friend...I felt like crying not just because I now see I can never have him, but because it sounded so beautiful. To be fair to him (and her), they're very open about how they feel about one another (which is clearly that they're in love) -- and he was very blunt about it with me, he is in love with her. I just don't understand what they're doing -- do you?

I feel so hurt, and so stupid.

they are basically too much close to each other, and the matter of fact you should move forward in life; and other thing this friend of your is very clear in his mind.

this is life you will find many autumns and spring in life.
