Abella agony auntShe can remain your platonic friend. But try not to be too familiar with her.

Separately look around further away for your friend for a new girl who can be your own girlfriend.

While this girl you like has a boyfriend she is off-limits as Gf material.

It is proximity and familiarity that may have made you feel attracted to her.

One day she may break up with him, then, if you are also single at the time, only then can you consider making a move to date her, if that is what you want, at some time in the future.

Or alternatively you may find a new girl who you will come to adore and love even more than this current girl you currently like (but who already has a Bf)

She is already cheating on her BF with you. I think she likes that she can play the both of you.

You really think if she WAS your GF she would be faithful to you?

I think you are playing with fire and you will end up getting BURNED.

As someone who's been in a very similar situation, I can tell you the best thing I did was practice patience. I say this because after you dive all the way in, it cant be undone. That being said, you shouldn't wait for her. If its meant to be then it'll happen and I'm sure it will. Patience, to make sure its what you really want. No knee jerk reactions.

She doesn't love you the way you want to be loved. You've carried this woman in your heart for a long time. You had one sexual encounter, and she was honest with you. She is not that into you, and you should move on and find someone else.

She has a boyfriend, and knowing how you feel about her, you pressured her into having an affair. The end result, she is returning to her boyfriend, and now you know that it was never meant to be for you. Don't waste your life pining for someone who only loves you "a little."
