That's sort of what I've been feeling like she's been keeping me on the back burner until she's ready for a relationship. We get along really well but there's been a sort of tension lately. She'll be really open when were alone, has no problems going places with me, but then acts really more distant when were with other people we know. You're right the dynamic is not sustainable and something has to be done, and I should've tried to do something earlier but it never seemed appropriate, and I kept questioning whether she liked me or not. The truth is that I did have a crush on her but the infatuation passed, and now I that I've gotten to know her I value every moment we spend together. Because we're always together people just assumed we're 'together'.
I know the first woman infinitely better than the second, I just had sort of given up on the first situation and thought I should move on and then these the dynamic sort of changed as I said. I'll just have to bit the bullet and see what happens. Sorry, just venting...genuinely thank you for the advice.
