Talk to her.

Yes absolutely! Relationships are not magic--I would love for pragmatists of the world to take a class action suit against fairy tales and Disney (well, my big brother is a CPA for Disney, so don't want him to lose his job)

===========================================================

Be yourself. Communicate! If you want to be exclusive let her know. If she does not and wants to date other guys and you, that's cool! That means you can date other girls and her (not at the same time though!) [I mean not on the same date...........with her.........and the others.....I'll shut up now]

==========================================================

Lastly...and this is my mom part screaming....you're too young to be tied down to one person. Enjoy yourself, make lots of friends, assemble an emotional pit crew..your ride or die posse, and be positive, curious, mindful and grateful. Yep same speech I give my son 2 or 3 times a year. OMG when did I become my mother!!!!!!

That's an easy one: when i'm dating a girl and I think it's something to hold on to, I tell her: 'you're mine'. Case always solved

The other guy is nothing to fear if she said brotherly type. She is not into him and clearly, if she is hanging out with you in the wide open at work she is good with dating you and not on the down-low. Take her someplace romantic and try to move in on her. keep this in mind if you are young that people come and go out of your life. All you are doing here is finding out if you are compatible. Will you both like each other in 5? 10? 20? years? If you are not compatible you will be doomed to eventually fail. So you just need to find out what you have in common and what you like to do. I believe though from what little I do know is she wants you to come out and say it, that you like her and want to date but I would say take it slow and get to know her before asking her to be exclusive, that will be viewed as too fast unless shit gets real.

Agree. Women want a man to claim them. The entire down low and guess where dating. Yeah, she is just putting out bait to say it.

....I mean, I guess her and I are dating. Her and I just met and we’re into each other... but I’m scared she’s into this other guy who works where we work....she told me that I and the other guy were brother-type friends and those kind of friends are important to her... her and I did kind of go on a date where we work (at a theme park) and went on many rides and she was like “so are we low-key dating right now?” And I was like “yeah I think so”. Then I asked her on a real date and she said yes Now, I’m never a controlling type. I wouldn’t tell her who to talk to, who not to. But I don’t want her and that other guy becoming interested in each other How should I handle this? Lol

Enjoy her company without expectations, knowing that (statistically) romantic relationships are likely to fail. Usually, insecurity is a big turn-off. And if she did decide she prefers him to you, why would you want to keep her?

If she's a Church-Girl then she's definitely a Slut...

My son brought a girl to a dinner with us. I asked him later, "Is that your girlfriend?" He said, "She's my girlfriend-adjacent".

I have no idea what that means or if it helps. I just wanted to tell that story.

She is not yet a girlfriend but a good friend and it is possible they could move into the territory of girlfriend/boyfriend. They likely have flirted and harbor feelings for one another.

Does that mean she lives next door to his girlfriend?

Sounds like a good guess to me!

...Although, it's been my experience that good friends rarely end up moving into the territory of girlfriend/boyfriend. In order for that to happen, it seems to require a dramatic change (usually physical) in at least one of them.

Your guesses are as good as mine, although I think it's moot now because it looks like they're full-on boyfriend/girlfriend.
