My boyfriend likes this girl and i’m not sure what to do.
Before we started dating we were just friends. I guess he didn’t see me that way because when we were walking he saw her and asked me if I knew her because he liked her. I got so jealous because I liked him but he liked her. He always was talking about her around me and asking me for tips because he was really shy and didn’t know how to approach her. Fast forward now, we are together but I know he’s still deeply in like with her. I know for a fact that he gave up trying to get at her and he settled for me and I also know for a fact that with the perfect opportunity, he’s going to talk to her and potentially leave me. What’s worse is these two liked each other before I even became friends with him, it’s like their meant to be with this together.I don’t know what to do because I’m in love with this guy but he’s just keeping me around until miss perfect comes along. My friends keep telling me I did this to myself because the moment he told me he liked this girl, I should have backed off. I let my emotions get the best of me. I would go out of my way to spend extra time with him so he could like me and I would give him hints as to why I didn’t think she was good for him. I know he likes me but I know he likes her more but he barely knows her. I know I’m just a settlement but the fact of him getting with her makes me want to kill her. I know I’m really immature, I even told my friends not to even associate with this girl!!!!

How old are you all?

I am sad to say we are in college (hangs head in shame)

There’s no reason to be ashamed!

The thing you’re missing is that dating is competitive. Just because you’re with someone, doesn’t mean he might not be tempted elsewhere. Instead of settling for your plight, my advice is to make him thrilled to be with you. Be the best possible girlfriend in every way, and make the time you have with him fun and meaningful — not time where you’re wondering, waiting and fretting about when he’s going to leave.

He’s with you — not her. And there’s a reason for that. Use your time to your advantage! 😉
