I have a crush, she's in some kind of relationship with another guy, but I've heard from other friends that they are not 'together.' They're apparently not boyfriend and girlfriend, but I haven't directly asked my crush this because it would give away the fact that I'm interested in her, and I would look like an a-hole if that situationship is more than a situationship.
She and I have spent a fair amount of time together both in a group setting and one-on-one, and recently I have been feeling more towards her to the point where I don't really feel comfortable not knowing where she stands. The more I learn about her the more compatible we seem, and the more I like her.
So I need to ask her where she stands with this other guy so that I can shut my feelings for her down, with the knowledge that she's in a real relationship.
I do like her as just a friend, as well, so I hope that we can keep that going.
Any advice? Thanks
