Stop over thinking it. She's 18, so she's obviously going with the flow. Enjoy it until the negatives show up.
oh come now. it can always be worst. take my instance for example. the chick on my mind is best friends with me. not only that, but we love each other, like, it's no one's business. not just friend zone, but there's nothing that I, or she, can do to change it or wouldn't do for eachother. it's almost impossible to move further with her b/c I lost my V (12 years ago) to her best friend, and, I've slept with her sister. on the opposite end, she's pretty promiscuous herself. this chick has caused me to become a semi-alcoholic and even go to suicide counseling. same situation, but different on the opposite end. and it's all for crap, because we both know when we look into each others eyes, how it should be. but life doesn't care because life is not simple. the fact of the matter is you're gonna make a choice which way or not, and it may work out, it may not. none of it is in our control. life has a funny way of giving you what you want when you don't expect it, and taking it all away when you need it most. it sucks. just be lucky if it works out, and feel loved if it doesn't, because there's a lot of people out there who will never experience anything at all plus. this place, other than reddit, is probably the worst to get advice from when it comes to dating. just tell her how you feel and take it from there, because sometimes that's even not enough. you're focusing too much on step 1 out of 100. hope it works out for ya.
Love ain't a waiting game. When you feel it, you feel it - you can each see it in the other's eyes. If you don't do it and make your move, you are not going to like yourself later on when that feeling has passed.
Korean drama status right there My unsolicited advice? Get drunk together hook up if possible then move on from there. You're faced with a lose lose situation here. Do nothing regret not taking a chance with possible soul mate. Do something and your circle might go t*** up on you two. The thing here though is that you do give a shot. She does mean something. Eliminate all doubt, do your best and go for it. Then you won't have to cut yourself when she finds the next best thing and marry him. The way those dramas end is a flash forward you're both older and you both wonder what if. Might be married.Might be miserable. But so committed to circumstance that you both do jack sit. I know you risk losing your best friends, but think about how much it will kill you when you see her with another who is worthy. Life ain't easy breh. Get yours with less regrets.
