So there's this guy i've met, he's showing interest, and I really like him, but there's another woman on the scene and I can't work out whats going on between them!
Apparently they've been friends for some time, (a couple of years at least) and he's been honest and told me they've had a FWB thing going on. She's a bit older than him and lives a couple of hours away, so they dont see each other often, but we all share a hobby/interest and go to get togethers, i've liked him for a while, but been on the periphery of their social group until the last month.
She's part of the group, and in ALL his social media groups...etc, so part of the furniture and everyone really seems to like her.
I feel like I ought to hate her, but annoyingly she's actually really lovely, genuinely nice, and good company, and even I really like her! Despite new guys assurances (and hers, I asked) that they aren't together and never will be, she's quite clearly VERY into him.
They talk constantly over social media, like, all day, there's a message back and forth every few hours from what i've seen, he was looking for a picture she sent him and I could see the amount of messages they send to each other, its mad! They spend a good couple of hours talking on the phone once they start too, and they're very flirty with each other... it's honestly like they've got all the hallmarks of being a couple, without actually being one.
Should I go on their word that he's free to pursue something with me and hope she backs off... or should I just swerve this one?
Ugh, I dont know what to doooo. Help!
