So I have a pretty big crush on my friend. We are really similar and like a lot of the same stuff (punk rock, star trek, politics, cooking). The only problem is, she has a 35 year old boyfriend who lives in NY, NY (she 20 and lives in FL). They have been dating for over two years (long distance) and still haven't broken up... The school year is almost over, and I have yet to confess my affection for her. I don't feel it is right to intrude upon her relationship. How can I tell if she really likes me (likes me enough to leave her boyfriend)? Is it worth ruining a friendship over bottled up feelings? When is the best time to tell her my feelings? How do I make it less awkward? Am I a terrible person for wanting them to break up for my own selfish interests? thanks |

Over 2 years long distance? 35 year old boyfriend? this story is either fiction and she just isn't in to you OP. Or she's ugly. Eitherway give up OP. |

Seeing as how she has a 35 year old boyfriend, is she into older guys then? If she is, then you probably stand little chance of being with her. |

Go for it. If she refuses just kidnap her and torture her until she abides her real feelings for you. |

I think he is a bit controlling. She once said that she feels like an old woman being in a committed relationship. And she sometimes texts me that she misses me when we don't see each other for a week, and wants to live in the same house as me next year.... |

I wouldn't do it man, I don't think she would accept you and become a sluzza. She has a 35 year old boyfriend. Shit, the guy would be storming back to her if he found out you confessed lel. or She's probably planning to break up with that geezer and might ask you out. |

If all else fails, make an age gap/NTR/hentai manga out of it. |

Ya, give up. Telling her will only make things awkward. Being in a long-distance relationship for longer than a year is really hard to break out of especially since the man is a lot more older than her. Sorry bud :/ |

I feel like she uses me as a pseudo-boyfriend, Somebody to hangout and go out with, but not have intimate contact with. AKA the friend-zone. |

Jokingly mention that you don't know how she can do it with a guy over 30 since they have excessively wrinkled scrotums. She'll probably laugh, but you just let her know it's a true fact. When she acts like she doesn't believe you tell her you'll prove it to her by showing her your scrotum. If she agrees to see your scrotum you have won. |
There's no need for all this tension. |

Though its impossible to get a full scope on the situation from that brief description, i really (personal feelings here, i know everyone is different) don't think trying to get between then is a very virtuous decision.. Just imagine of you were dating her and some distance came between you two, but you both agreed to keep your relationship going.. only to have a guy try to take her from you.. Though if you find out that he is cheating on her or is a completely shit boyfriend in some way.. get on that ;) That's not to say you should just keep everything bottled up though! making her aware of your feeling is okay, and maybe if she is aware of them she may willingly leave this guy for you! But basically what i'm trying to convey is; is that i can't agree with the concept of someone breaking up a relationship for their own benefit, sorry! (again i'd like to reiterate that this is just my opinion! and i don't dictate what is 'right', so if you disagree that's fine!) |

You're not a terrible person for being selfish, especially since you recognize that what you want to do is in fact selfish... Let me give you some advice: if she's willing to leave him for you, she'd be willing to leave you for someone else. You don't want that kind of relationship. |

You must have a bloody fight with her BF. Last man standing gets the girl, but if you lose he will castrate you to get rid of the chance of further competition for mates. Your choice OP (PS dont forget: hit below to open up above!) |

They argue a lot but I think that is just both of their personalities... I wouldn't want to maliciously plant seeds of distrust into her long distance relationship, but it just hurts having all this unrequited love. I suppose I should tell her. but not in a way that asks her to date/hookup with me, but instead just a "I need to tell you this because it has been bothering me for a long time." |

Yeah, i think most of us know those unrequited love feels.. and i commend you if you can manage the courage to confess your feelings to her! Again, only my opinion here.. but i think confessing to her would be a good thing.. i know the aspect of "what if it ruins our friendship" thoughts, but in other times i've known guys in these situations (where the girl didn't actually like the guy) it was awkward between them for a week or two.. but then both sort of adjusted to the situation and all was good again.. and i think it really helped those guys to get closure on the situation (as to whether the girl like them not) they accepted it if she didn't, or they got some action if she did ;) either way, its a far better option that sitting in the anxious and frustrating limbo of the unknown that you're currently sitting in! |

A relationship with such an age gap will never work out anyway, so I wouldn't feel guilty to accelerate its end. |

Also monogamy is kinda pointless when you are in your 20s If that's really the way you look at things, then I guess you've got nothing to lose in that respect, but there's still the possibility that attempting to break them up will make her hate you. Even just confessing your feelings to her could put too much of a strain on your friendship for it to continue. If you're willing to accept that risk as well, then I'd say go for it. Tell her everything. |

Also monogamy is kinda pointless when you are in your 20s Anyways, speaking from experience here, OP, tell her how you feel or you will regret it. You don't have to make it all awkward and uncomfortable, though. If she's really your friend, you should be able to share your feelings without putting pressure on her. Tell her you care about her and want what's best for her, whether that means she ends up with you or with the other guy. After that, it's out of your hands, but at least you didn't hold back and end up always wondering how it could have been. |

Also Glocca Morra is great. Teenage Cool Kids, Jejune, The Menzingers, are also really good |

just ntr the kunt lol... having one sided feeling for someone, who shows no affection back to ya seems kinda painful. btw that 15 year age difference seems way to big to be a legit relationship in this day and age... alot things come to play like social status, values, future/s... ect so although it goes against what anime and manga has taught me.. but confessing ur feels to her will provoke a response from her, probably gona be negative but then atleast u knoe that u tried and it might give freedom and u can move on... and u can still probably be friend zoned haha better then keeping everything to ya self aye. but then u probably shouldn't take my advice im a 5ever virgin... :L |

The only way you will know how she feels for sure is to just ask her, but again you'd be risking it all if you did that. There is no way to make it less awkward. Furthermore, even if your plan does succeed, she may not be able to devote all of her feelings to you since she may carry some guilt or levt-over feelings for her ex. |

Regardless of the individual circumstances going after anyone in a relationship is not cool. You wouldn't like it if somebody asked out your girlfriend while knowing that she was with you so don't do it to somebody else. |

If you love something, let it go, if it's yours, it'll come back to you. If they're happy together and she loves him, cheer her on. If she's not happy with him, then save her. The last thing you want is to be the reason for their break up when they love one another. Then no one will be happy at all. Not you, him or even her. You don't want that do you? I say wait till it's over between them (if that happens) and if you don't want the friendship to be awkward by telling her. |

They think the only type of girl that they can have as just a friend is ''an ugly one'', which is just horrendous. I suppose it's better that those who think that ''ugly'' girls are not worth their time at all. |

OP. I feel it is time I part you the Wisdom of the Runes. First you must find out, is this man real? Is he any Danger to me? Consult Anom, hide trackers in her computer, read every message she makes then you can get even closer than you were before! Then if he is not real confront her with screams of YOU LIAR! Show up at her home with a cooked meal when you know her people arn't home...anyways where were we..ah yes. If he is Real and is a thret, seek the help of a Professional. Killer. If he is not, travel across country and Murder him while dressed as a flower deliverman with a shotgun hidden in the box. Oh I know what you all are about to say next. But Red! Thats Crazy! What if he doesn't own a shotgun! Simple steal it from the pigs. They are shitty with armory security. Gun down anyone that gets in your way. Or use your hacking friends you made at anom to hack his email and send her hateful emails. Lastely you must make her yours. Travel into the deep south or the mid east and rent a hotel, have a legit reason for this trip. Go into her room in the dead of night, kneel. When she says you can't be here and stands up to stop you give in full force to your animal instincts. Stand up and punch her in the stomach. When shes winded and fallen over have your way with her and rape her with beasty brutality and pure on domination. She will not soon forget this night! And the local government will force you to marry. Good Luck Op. |
