I met a woman online who I liked. We started talking and the feelings were mutual. I then found out she was still in contact with her ex, and she said it was complicated. I told her to figure things out with him before we'd continue and she ghosted me.
She messages me 20 days later and we catch up before she ghosts me again.
I reach out to her a month later and she tells me she got back together with her ex. She also mentions she'd would've loved to be in a relationship with me instead, if things were different. We talk more, exchange pictures and everything goes to 110%. We're spending days texting each other every day and we're both on cloud 9, wondering how this can be real.
Her loyalty begins to break as we become closer and closer. Suddenly there are no longer "if things were different", now she's telling me she likes me more, loves me even.
Her boyfriend is a childhood friend she grew up with that doesn't live near her. He is visiting his family, and therefor her too, at the end of the month. She's conflicted because she has feelings for him too.
She wants to see how things go when they meet again and maybe break up with him.
I really like her, and said I'd be willing to wait for her decision, but it's been so long, I feel like she should know already. I don't want to be her second choice or back-up option, but she's too perfect to give up on. Talking to her makes it incredibly hard knowing I can lose her soon, but if I stop talking to her, I will risk pushing her into his arms (again). What should I do?
