I don't know what to do, practical advice please?

I like a guy who has a girlfriend, we liked eachother before they got together, both not having the guts to say anything about it, then drifted apart due to friendship circles. Recently we've become even better friends again and I've started to like him even more, I told him how I felt & he says its mutual but he still has feelings for his girlfriend, I can't even see why because she treats him like crap most of the time.. always shouting and swearing at him. What should I do?

you can either and see if he finishes with the girl or move on.

other than that there is nothing you can do.

if he feels the same then he should end it with his girlfriend and make a go of things with you. If he doesnt then because of your feelings you should walk away from the situation, and the fact that he hasny already would suggest that he wants to be with her more than you sorry.

Well with the feeling being mutual, you have a chance, but not just yet. I recommend you wait it out because if this guy's girlfriend treats him like crap, then he's sure to move on to someone else if he had the mind to.

If he does, don't go straight into it, just wait it out a week or so - he needs to recover. During that time, just keep talking to each other, keep communication up. And give him some sort of signal after say a week to show you are still interested.

If he doesn't ditch her, then just keep talking to him as friends and he might gather more interest into you with the interest in his current girlfriend diminishing.

Either way, things could happen. Good luck with it all :)

How do you know that she treats him like crap? Do you her very well ? Do you know what their relationship is like behind close doors ? Do you know how he treats her ? Remember dont assume things, there are always two sides to ever story, sounds like you are a little jealous because he has not dropped his current girlfriend for you yet. I dont think their relationship can be as bad as you think otherwise I think he would have left by now. I would move on and find a boyfriend of your own.

I agree with Redrum. If his relationship with her was so bad, he would move on. He clearly has feelings for her and until such time as he possibly chooses you, you should step back from the situation. It is the decent thing to do.
