I've been in kind of a confusing situation over the past year that just got worse the other day. Basically, I've been the third wheel between one of my good friends and his girlfriend. There are other people that hang out with us but she has always cared the most for me out of her boyfriend's group (as she has told me). I'm not going to go into detail but both of them went through a few complicated situations with each other. My friend's girlfriend brought them up to me and, like an idiot, I got way too involved for my own good. I was in denial about being into her at the time and we became close friends.
The problem is that she has always been very flirtatious with me and dropped numerous hints of romantic interest. I never took her too seriously and figured she was just expressing affection for me as a close friend. Then she told me she loved me the other night *awkward pause* "as a friend."
I'm not really asking for advice here because I know what I have to do. The truth is that I was subconsciously hanging around hoping she would come around and lose interest in my friend. They're now moving out of state together. Talk about bad timing to be dropping the L bomb. As much as it sucks to admit, I need to cut her out.
