| To Chase or not to Chase
Story: So I went on a Humanitarian Trip to Africa to Help at an orphanage, sick kids etc.. anyways.. I was put in a group of people that I didn’t know. So that was all fine, meet new people stuff like that. In this group there is the Chick, she was pretty hot, caught my eye right away. From the start of the trip we made eye contact a lot, it would linger sometimes, anyways,
We spent the next 3 weeks living/work together in Africa. Got to know each other, and the 8 other people that were were there with. I got o see more of her personality, got to see all the sides of her pretty much, and I do like this chick for sure.. lot of similar interests (Hell we are both in Africa) Personality that I find attractive. Etc, etc, etc.
However she has a Boyfriend, they been dating for about 5 months. Seems serious, the “Love” word was tossed around a bit.. however there are they long lingering gazes, and other things which feel like hints of something.. So we are now both back. I know where she works, im friends with her boss actually.. So I have a nice excuse to visit, I went a visited the other day, got a nice hug from her “I miss you” etc.
So now, im debating what to do..
Should I tell her I have feelings for her and see how she responds. (I didn’t tell her on the trip because well that might have made things awkward)
Do I not tell her, however continue to drop by her work, and chat her up, while suggesting we go out for coffee, to catch up and talk about things. In the hope that her and her BF will not work out.
Do I not do anything, just leave it cause theres not future.
More Details:
Me 25, Live with buddies, have Motorbike, Skyline, 4X4, Good job, work a lot, nice guy,
Her 20, just moved out of her parents, receptionist at a medium sized company, hasn’t gone to school yet, not sure what she wants to do

Just wait and see if the relationship fails. Don't tell her how you feel if she is seeing someone and she is happy.

Be a good friend to her, but keep enough distance so it doesnt appear that you're trying to get too close. If she feels the same way as you do, then eventually it will all work out.

Keep her at arms length for now.
Little signs of interest doesn't necessarily mean she'll act on it. So unless you're that sure that she'll reciprocate, you'll most likely be burning a bridge for good; considering that you're status with her is that of a "casual friend" at best it seems.

and i keep saying this... its fair game even if two are married because feelings change, and between different people there's a different type of attraction
in a love triangle at least one person will always end up unhappy... be it you or the boyfriend in this situation... why not be more selfish... get the girl and let the other guy be unhappy? because we as humans are all selfish anyways right... we do a lot and i mean a lot of things for our own self benefits (polution, $$$$$, and depletion of natural resources)...
by pursuing you may lose a good friend but not pursuing will lose you an opportunity...

Maybe homewrecking was the wrong word, but I wouldnt be down with some guy trying to hang around my gf all the time, hoping that we break up

Don't be a douche and wait your turn.
I mean, if you're perfectly fine if what you're planning happened to you, then by all means go for it. But don't dare try to justify your actions because no matter what the situation, you're just being a dick.

How do you know you're not misinterpreting her signals? You know, reading something that's not necessarily there because that's what your mind wants to see & think.

Do it, and watch karma bite you in the ass, as the table turns on you.

its like if i'm going for a job i really want but the employer has hinted that they're looking at some other candidates who has a pretty good chance or hasn't shown interest in me doesn't mean I shouldn't try to get the job

people only get home wrecked if they can't keep the girl anyways. do what you gotta do.
you really have nothing to lose other than the feeling of hope, which is really just something in your mind.
go for it. btw you shoulda made your move in africa.

karma is a bitch.
The answer to your question is, "Are you willing to put up with a girl who is willing to leave her current boyfriend for a man she finds a bit more interesting?"
You may the most interesting man on Earth right now, but with time, your qualities diminsh in her eyes.

a real relationship is always being tested at all times and is always exposed to the elements be it parents, religion, race, other men other women, distance and so forth etc etc etc.. if she decides to choose the OP, she does it by her own choice. she did hug him by her own volition didn't she? you can't label the OP a homewrecker by saying he will break up the relationship. he can't break anything. she is the one that will autonomously break the relationship if she chooses to.

You may the most interesting man on Earth right now, but with time, your qualities diminsh in her eyes. | If she drops her boyfriend and goes with you, what's to say she won't do it to you?
Is that what kind of person you really want?
Anywho, you may be seeing things that aren't there like people have said, reevaluate her actions carefully before pursing if you're going to. It may just be her being 'nice'.
