| A few years ago, I was a Master's student at my current medical school and I was recently removed from a three relationship and just starting to date again. A friend of mine, who worked at the school, wanted to hook me with one her friends who also worked there, and I had seen her once before and she was gorgeous (let's call her Mickey) so I was cool with it. Eventually too many people found out about it and began to meddle before I even had the chance to approach the girl, which made me hesitate and I began to pursue someone else because the other girl and I appeared to have more natural chemistry. Eventually I did ask Mickey out, and while the date went well things never progressed. Another friend told me it was because I waited too long and was not aggressive enough in my pursuit. As it turned out, we both applied to medical school that year and were both accepted into the same class. When our first year of school started, and we began to inter act, I kept my distance and pursued someone else in another program at school thinking that Mickey wasn't interested, but because we knew a lot of the same people we inadvertently started hanging around each other a lot, slowly becoming friends. Eventually, I started a serious relationship with someone else and Mickey suddenly seemed to be paying me more attention, appearing to flirt by randomly coming up and touching me and things of that nature. My girlfriend also noticed it because when Mickey we see us together she would come up and start talking to me but wouldn't acknowledge my girlfriend's presence. As the year went on, I was asked to join a study group with Mickey and a mutual friend. I agreed, and in order to appease my girlfriend I invited a male friend of mine to join as well. As we all studied together, I slowly to get to know Mickey and noticed that she and I had more in common than me and my girlfriend and unknowingly, I began to develop feelings for her. Becau se I was committed to girlfriend, I would try to avoid Mickey subtle advances or being alone with Mickey for too long seeing as it made my girlfriend uncomfortable and caused problems between us. As the year began to wind down, my study group and I agreed to go out for drinks after our test. The night before the exam, the other two group members dropped out. Mickey then asked me if I was still interested in going, which I initially replied yes thinking nothing of it, but after I ran it by my girlfriend an argument ensued and I had to turn down the invitation. Now we are in our second year and my girlfriend and I have recently broken up. (SN: I lost my car in an accident and my girlfriend was my primary mode of transportation. When Mickey found out that we broke up she offered to go 20 mins out of her to pick me up whenever I needed a ride to school.) I still have strong feelings for Mickey but I am wary that any feelings she may have or had for me might have dissipated after denying her advances time and time again while in my now previous relationship. The school player has also been "sniffing" around Mickey lately and for the moment at least, she appears to be receptive to his advances. Should I tell Mickey about my feelings for her and risk losing the friendship, or should I keep my mouth shut and let someone else take her? |
