If a woman had a boyfriend, but really wanted to be friends, would you do it?

Chances are she wants you as more than a friend so I would say no. She probably already feels some amazing connection with you and in little time you will be the OM.

Everyone is saying I should bail on her. Is that an ego thing? Mabye it is best if I not see her, I dont know. I dont want to discredit other posters here. They make valid points although it may not be what I wish to hear.

 

I suggested you befriend her so long as you DATE others. If you don't your physical attraction will only grow and you are going to be in a lose/lose situation.

 

I got the impression from your first post, that you didn't make friends easily or connect with people easy. For that reason and that reason alone, I support you being her FRIEND. Those, male or female, are HARD to find, keep and trust.

 

Now, when you mentioned the attraction, that's a slippery slope, others have pointed out how wrong it can go. However, if you DATE others and maintain your emotions with her and continue to be FRIENDS. I don't see the problem. And like you said if you do like her and she ends things with her SO (you play no part in making that happen) then if you are both free at the same time, that is an option to pursue something more. But for the here and now, if you can truly keep it platonic and date and she is faithful to her guy, two mature adults should be able to be friends.
