- I would say that if what you really want is a relationship -- that having
- non-commital (is that a word?) "fun" is not enough -- then you have to
- deal with her directly. Tell her that the most important part of your
- relationship is your friendship (assuming it is) but that you are interested
- in more. But also let her know that if she is not interested in at least
- working towards a relationship, then the "more than friends" interaction
- should pretty much cease. There is no reason for you to be jerked around
- by someone who "just wants to have fun" at the expense of your feelings.
-
- It sounds like to me that, since she just broke up with a boyfriend, her
- self-esteem is probably hurting and she wants to find lots of guys who
- will like her. The mo' guys, the mo' better. :) You'll get hurt if you
- keep doing (physical) things with her in hopes of a relationship if that's
- not at all what she's interested in. If you back off and put your *own*
- feeling first, not only will you be a little less vulnerable, but you'll
- probably impress her. More than, say, if you let her have total control
- over where your "relationship" was going. After all, that was a pretty
- blatant disregard for your feelings to make out with you one night and
- sleep with somebody the next ...
-
- Just my opinion.
