My crush is torn between me and another guy. A friend recently told me that she chose the other guy out of pity, be she clearly still have feelings for me. I have asked her on her decision, but she told me she hasn’t made up her mind yet. Why is she not telling me?

We can’t read her mind, but we sense you’re not very happy with the current state of affairs. Therefore …

  1. Are you looking for a exclusive, monogamous commitment?
  2. Is this a polyamorous arrangement?
  3. Are you unsure what you want?

In any scenario, you’ve gotten an “I don’t know,” which is not a “Yes.” Had you gotten an affirmative response, you would clearly know that via her actions and words. You should take her response as a “No,” date elsewhere intentionally in environments where it’s clear to everyone involved you’re dating romantically, see who professes interest in you in that way, and, if the feeling is mutual, partner openly, honestly, and without confusion.

People who want you won’t have any problem letting you know. Wish her well, let go of any bitterness, revenge, or regret, and be worth wanting for your future partner or partners. Good luck out there.

P.S.: Third party reports from others about your crush aren’t as reliable as the non-affirmative response you got directly from her.
