Best Friend.

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, but this is where it shall start. It could be long, just a warning. :) Thanks for reading though.

To start off, I dated a girl for 4 years, and we broke up 2 months ago. I have been a complete wreck up until just recently. There is a girl I work with that has become my BEST friend over these two months. I mean we were friends before hand, but nothing like our relationship now.

Our relationship has grown immensely and I love it. I find myself smiling when I see her. She is the only person that has gotten me through this whole 2 months. When I wake up and see that I have a 'good morning' text message from her my day is already better. The thing is, I work with her boyfriend as well. We are friends, but nothing too special. They are on the rocks right now, and she is really really angry with him at this point. And I'm there to comfort her. And she says that I am all she has left.

We tell each other we love one another, every day. That we miss each other. She tells me I am the best and probably the only great guy left in the world. And that I always know just what to say. I really think I am falling for her. But at the same time, I love my ex with all of my heart but know that there is probably no chance for us. The only problems with my friend is that I am 20 and she is 25 and she has a daughter. Not that either of those things bother me. I just don't know if she is interested the same way I am finding myself to be.

Any ideas? Anyone had a situation like this? I would love to hear some similar stories. Thank you everyone!

Its ok to love more than one person at a time. How are you falling for her?

You're using each other for very specific purposes. I don't mean to imply any destructiveness on either of your parts, but remember that you are using each other as crutches to ride out the emotional tumult of broken relationships. Your feelings for each other are thus strengthened, but that doesn't mean they're not genuine. However, you ought to consider the consequences of continuing uninhibited, like work policies, and conflicts with her boyfriend as well.

I just find myself wanting to be around her or talking to her all the time. She just makes me happy. I guess I will just continue to be there for her and see how things go. Who knows..
