Should I give up hope on my crush because of his girlfriend?

There's this guy that I have a slight crush on. He's sweet, honest, funny and we have fun together. We talk a good amount on the phone and we've become pretty good friends.

However, there's one person that stands in the way: his girlfriend. From what he's told me, she's the type of girl that gets REALLY jealous when he talks to other girls. She is not the paranoid type, from my own understanding. She's more laidback, but still very jealous. And one time, I got her on his phone and she accused me of hanging up on her, giving her attitude and that I liked her boyfriend as "more than a friend." (which is slightly true). She was just overall very nasty to me.

He has told her about me and he said that she seemed a bit jealous. Even through his girlfriend's jealousy, he still considers me his good friend. He likes to be trusted and he likes to be honest with people, so that's why he told her about me and why he's honest about their relationship.

I know I should move on and go find some other guy, but I don't know if I should keep my hopes up or not. I really like him and I want him to see that I might be a better catch than his girlfriend. He's also going off to college and he probably won't see her very much. What should I do?

I agree with deathlydelights!

I dont want to sound harsh, but I totally understand how people can have crushes on someone who is either married, or has a girlfriend/boyfriend, but what I dont understand is, how you can act on those feelings knowing they are in a commited relationship!! Theres just certain boundaries you just DONT cross! It also involves respect! Respect for yourself, your crush, and the poor innocent girlfriend!

He only wants your friendship, and right away you think he wants you. Hun>a friendship will NOT work if one party has emotional feelings for the other. Keep in mind, he has a girlfriend. If he wanted you, dont you think he would be with you, and not her? Hes already discussed you to his girlfriend, which to me indicates his feelings for his girlfriend. Show some respect, and dont interfere on his gfs territory because you want him to see that you would be a much better catch than what he has. Besides, that really is just your opinion! Thats being a bit selfish on your part. You need to move on, and find someone who isnt attached! If some guy says youre his friend, dont mistake that for "he wants to date you"!

hmmz...well, I would find a very good time to talk to him...
and tell him the TRUTH about you liking him...and see what he says after that, tell him that you would be better then her...and give him da resons.
I know it may be hard to TELL him...but its the TRUTH.

Ever heard of cutting someone else's grass?
I think you should let things take their course...
im sure if you were in her shoes...you wouldnt like someone trying to take your man

I'm in the same situation as you!
be honest with him,and if he doesn't feel the same way,it really is time to move on.
