Well, I'm sort of in a sticky situation, and I don't know what to do. I fancy someone so much, he is such an amazing person. Let's call him C. I have known who C was for about 6 months now, and I always thought he was hot. But a few months ago it started to be more than that, and now I really fancy him. I've known him personally for a month now.
I met him through friends and everything he did suggested one thing: he fancied me. I posted a question before descibing everything he had done and asking whether it appeared that he fancied me. Everyone answered yes. Since then C has done other things, like send me flirty messages, make eye contact and say I'm hot. I was so happy, because for once in my life, I could think of someone I fancied and not have that feeling of amazing happiness and sadness at the same time because it was a case of loving something I couldn't have. For once, it seemed as if someone felt the same way about me and it was a great feeling.
I've been hanging out with him quite a lot and he is such a nice person. He's not like the others guys I've known, he really respects girls and other people's feelings.
But then, oh no, it has to happen again. I was at an all-night party the other day and he was there, I still felt like there was this amazing connection between us. But that was when I found out something terrible. C has a girlfriend. I had just assumed he was single because he hadn't ever stated otherwise, I had never seen him with anyone and no one had ever mentioned anyone. The reason for this, I found out at the party, was she lives miles away so he only gets to see her once a month and gets driven up in the car. Since then, on various internet surveys, he's said that he's in love with her. And I know for a fact that he's stayed faithful the whole time he's been dating her.
Yet I still get the feeling he fancies me, and I still fancy him like hell. But he doesn't love me, like he loves her.
At first, I thought, I'll try and split them up, someone having a girlfriend has never stopped me before. But then it hit me, I really care for C. I know how much he loves this girl and how happy he is with her, and I don't want him to be upset. And certainly not because of something I've done.
But I don't want to give up on him.
I'm thinking that maybe the best thing to do is concentrate on being friends with C, because I do want to do that. I think he's a great person and want him to be a part of my life, even if he is just a friend. But while I'm being friends with him I'll keep making that eye contact we make that makes me feel like we have a special connection. And I'll always dress really good and try to look great whenever I'm with him. And hope that he splits with his girlfriend.
Is that a good idea? Or should I just forget about him? Or make friends with him without the looking nice and eye contact stuff?
Please tell me what you think I should do in this situation.
Sorry it was long. Thanks in advance, xxx

hope this helps
