I’ve only been in her company for maybe 2 minutes tops when my ex-gf (who is one of her best friends) wasn’t also present with us. I know that i have always sat on my feelings for her whenever i was in her company and probably didn’t give a lot away. Therefore, i’m not too discouraged by this alone....

candid - good to also hear a female perspective on things. I touched on there being a little bit of a signal there was something there on a couple of occasions, but I am not going to read too much into it.

Agreed richard. This is where i overthink. n01 - it does feel like a forbidden kind of relationship to me (hence the title of the thread) but if this girl becomes single and is willing to give it a go, then i would be willing too. It’s a frustrating situation. I’ve felt at times i’m in love with thi...

Thanks n01. On the complication about this girl dating her friends ex, maybe i should elaborate a bit. The girl (that i’m into) and my ex are close friends and have been before i met my ex. I met the girl shortly after meeting my ex, and was immediately attracted to her. As the years have gone by, m...

Richard - what I'm getting at in particular at this point is the approach I make to the girl i'm into - assuming the conditions we have talked about have been met. she's single, and my ex has given her blessing. However, would asking this girl out for a coffee be the best approach? I wonder if she w...

The last bit is very true and the wheels are in motion. I’m not sittinh around waiting. There are other areas in life just as important. I don’t think my rationale behind wondering if she should know a little of the extent of my feelings does violate the two conditions we have talked about. Even if ...

That seems the sensible approach. Am i misjudging the situation when thinking that i should be indicating to her that ive been feeling strongly about her for some time? If she thinks i’m just asking her out on a whim, she might think it’s not worth risking her friendship with my ex. Whereas if she k...

To address the quotations you made, you are right. the fact I was in a serious relationship with this other girls good friend is her complication, not mine. I shouldn't make it mine. on me not being able to make a move until my ex has moved on - there has been some indication from my ex that she wan...

To untangle the web for a second, what are your thoughts on if her current relationship comes to an end? The fact i was in a serious relationship with one of her very good friends is a huge complication; i couldn’t do anything until i knew my ex had moved on. But even still, im well aware that their...

Hello Richard. Yes, it is a bit like that really. Both rational schools of thought. I don’t know if i love her or it’s just an infatuation. But the feelings have only got more intense over the years. If i love her, then it would drive me mad for her not to at least know that i have something for her...

hi all. it's been a long time since I've posted on here. would love to hear some thoughts on my issue. myself and my GF of 3 years split up a month or so back. we are both OK, and on good terms. Since about 3 months into that relationship I noticed that I found one of her best friends attractive. ov...

good to hear there's some progress dave

i'm taking a magnesium supplement as well. with a multi-vit and fish oil, every day.

thanks for the tip

why do people attack the most empowering posts on here? the ones that are telling you: there is a 'physical' aspect to depression. you can start to regain control through what you eat, getting good exercise to spend the stress hormones that build up in the body.
