Here's the situation: There's this guy I like in one of my classes. He has a girlfriend, but since they both started college, she seems to have changed and he's not happy with the way she's become. They've been together a year and a half.
Now, the thing is, this guy and I are friends, and he flirts with me. We get along great, and he's the only guy I've ever really been able to be myself around. I'm wondering what I should do, aside from trying to break he and his girlfriend up. I'd never do that, I'm not that kind of person.
Any advice?
Don't hit it. If you are gonna hit it, hit it with a baseball bat.
Guys are dogs. Don't let him have any unless you're officially going out; otherwise he'll never leave her.
>she seems to have changed and he's not happy with the way she's become
subtly drop hints and get him to open up / talk about it.
>>3 Like s/he says.
Your main concern is your relationship to him, not his relationship to her. So it's him who has to decide whether he breaks up with her girlfriend or not.
Just don't let yourself get into a weird situation. If he really shows interest in you, and you feel like investing in him, then clear that out with him.
OP here

He has opened up some and talked about it.

Yes, I know his relationship with his girlfriend is not my concern. All I want is for him to be happy, and I would never try to split he and his girlfriend up.
Thankfully there is no weird situation at this point. He knows I like him, and he doesn't act any differently around me because of it.
OP again. It's blatantly obvious he's flirting with me (he holds my hand sometimes, compliments my eyes, that kind of thing) and I can't help but enjoy it, lol. I'd never hook up with him or anything, but again, I'll enjoy the attention, and hopefully things will work out.
HE KNOWS I LIKE HIM AND HE DOESN'T ACT ANY DIFFERENTLY AROUND ME BECAUSE OF IT
I think he likes the attention too. If he knows you like him and hasn't asked you out, then he is just leading you on. I used to be a jerk like that too. Since his girl friend isn't around, he won't cheat but he'll use you to boost his confidence.

I had a friend who did that a lot, and not just to me, but to EVERYONE WITH A VAGINA. Does he just flirt you, or is that his 'personality'? Just support him and stuff without being a pushover, listen to him and hope you don't get friend zoned.

OP here. He's only done it to me, and we've talked about how I feel about him. I like him, but as long as he is my friend, I'm happy. Of course, if he were single, I'd be the first one to ask him out, lol. He's said before he's half tempted to break up with his girlfriend to date me, but I'm not going to take that seriously.
Op again. He asked me today "if it killed me to have him right there and not be able to be with him". I know he wasn't asking it in a mean, taunting way, just kinda reminded me how it hurts sometimes.
