I think she is serious because she wears a ring that he 'lent' her before he went away. And shouldn't she be serious, esp cuz she said she is nearing readiness to be 'official' with him (despite having rejected him 3 times already).
Well. We are in college, but I just graduated. He has been away on Co-op but is coming back to college in a week (he and her are not graduated yet). I myself will be moving far away to the mid-west for graduate school in a month.
Assuming that she does like me, either then I am looking at: 1) Long-distance or 2) quick fling.
2) is ruled out because she told me she is the save-it-for-marriage type. And she also said she's not romantic. She's also the shy type that doesn't call (she doesn't call guy #1 either).
But since I am most likely a friend, I should probably just lay my cards on the table and see what happens (most likely blows up in my face). Such is life.
However, I don't really get the feeling that she is *that* into guy #1. I think she is just used to hanging out with him (for a year, once a week she told me). I mean, she's used to thinking of him as her unofficial bf, but i mean, if she really was that into him, she would have progressed much faster...??
