In need of relationship advice please?

There is this girl, we are great friends and we have been wanting to go out for a few months now. But she lives in a different state than me. She says she wont date me now because of the distance, and her wanting to be able to see me, face to face. Which I understand. Also there is a guy she kind of has a thing for, who lives close to her. She told me that she is waiting for me for when I visit her this winter. But last night she said that she is going to go ahead and date him, then in winter we will see what happens. Its confusing, she says she loves me, and I know I love her.





What should I do? Please and thanks for any help.In need of relationship advice please?
She's taking advantage of you. Or rather, letting you take advantage of yourself.





It sounds like you are very interested in her, and that you are going to be waiting for an opportunity with her, while she plans on seeing other people because of the distance.





Distance is not an actual reason to end or postpone a relationship. If the two of you are GENUINELY interested in one another, neither of you would care about the distance. The fact that she's making it an issue means she's not as interested in you as she would let on (if she's saying she loves you).





Do not wait for this person or pass up any opportunity on her account. And certainly don't make any kind of decision based on her. See other people, and do what you want. IF you both happen to be single when you're ';geographically compatible'; again, then you can possibly pick things up from there.





Don't try to get her to wait for you either. She'll just assume that you're hopelessly interested in her and do what she wants anyway.





I know it's a tough situation, but good luck!In need of relationship advice please?
You love her more than she loves you. It's that simple. She is going to keep you on in case this new guy doesn't work out. This is what I would have done in her place. The fact that she is being honest with you could be because she is subtly giving you a chance to call it off and save her the guilt. I would cool things with her but that's easy for me to say. I am not the one madly in love here. Good luck.
you are right if she dates him then she might really like you other wise she will never no.
