Hillman Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I have been living in a university hall for a week, and have been gradually falling in love with the girl who lives in the room below me. We started out as friends but gradually its been developing further - especially under the influence of alcohol at parties etc. I also care about her in as much that I keep trying to protect her - such as when she went out to visit a friend one evening I waited up to make sure that she got home safely. Things are still at an early age - i wouldnt consider her to be my girlfriend yet... we haven't even kissed properly. However, we get on really well together, have the same likes and dislikes and the same sense of humour. We both seem to feel comfortable in each others presence. Today we decided to watch a film in her bedroom, and soon enough we were sitting close together on the bed. As the film progressed she moved gradually towards me, ending up sitting with her head on my shoulder, and with my arm around her. However, I happened to notice lots of pictures in the room of her with a guy, who I now know to be her boyfriend, who lives in her home town over 100 miles away. I found this very surprising from the way she's been acting, and am not sure what to do for the best. Should I pretend not to have noticed and carry on, should i back off (perhaps it would be best just to be friends), or should i broach the subject? I really like her, and value her friendship.. and of course I have to live with her for a year at least. I'm not sure whether it would be easy to back off now and "keep my hands off" - but would that be best. Link to post Share on other sites
