Hello Firefly, how wonderful that you are offering all of us your help and guidance.
I have had strong feelings for a man all year; he says he has feelings for me too, but he can't seem to extricate himself from his ex-girlfriend, who he was with for four years. He is confused about whether they should now be friends or lovers - and needs time to work it out - and so he says he and I can only be friends for now, possibly forever. Will he and I ever be together - and if so, when? If we're only meant to be friends I would like to move on, but it's hard...
