Hello,

I started university two weeks ago. There is a girl on my course who I quite like. We hang around together a fair bit, and I think our friendship is growing. However, I find myself feeling quite attracted to her. She's pretty cute, she has a sweet sense of humor and is fun to be around.

Trouble is, I don't really want to suggest dating her. She has a boyfriend. And even though she has revealed that she isn't happy with him, I certainly wouldn't use that as an excuse to try anything with her. I'm just considering a time where she might break up with him. I worry about our friendship. We are on our course for 2 years, and if she didn't feel the same way about me that could make things awkward between us both.

What can you suggest?

Hi. My suggestion is for now you remain just friends and be very careful. If she has a boyfriend you don't want to be the one to break them up. Breaking up relationships isn't a good idea as it may result in you also loosing the girl you like so much. If you like her so much the best thing you can do is be happy about her realtionship because it makes her happy (if it makes her happy). If not, be there for her as a firned and don't move too fast. If in the future her realtionship doesn't work out and she becomes open to a new realtionship then you can make your moves. For now you can be a great friend as it will allow you to use your feelings in a possitive and friendly way. She is otherwise out of bounds.
