Should I be avoiding her like the plague right now? I have really strong feelings for her which have also made me incredibly depressed and forced me to attend therapy. I want to believe she's a negative part of my life that I should avoid. I want to believe that I only have feelings for her because she takes away my feelings of loneliness. But dudes I'm terrified of feeling alone again and I still see her as a really ideal girl for me. How can I get off this ride?
>open relationship
Stay the fuck away from these people.

Well... you could try going out with her for real.

yeah i was skeptical too when she came to me with that. i just can't make myself see reason because of my feelings for her.
I don't know about you OP but I think you could try actally dating her. I'd stress to her that it's not an open relationship though.

she wants to remain single for a while after her breakup. she says she doesn't feel the same towards her bf anymore and that she wants to be single to allow herself space to grow.

see my post above. i would try otherwise but i'm not sure if she's worth waiting around for or worth all the stress that i've experienced because of this situation.

Women utter all manner of nonsense.
Ask her out anyway.

i wish it was that simple sometimes. her and i have previously spoken about dating each other and neither of us are 100% sure. i feel like i would struggle to trust her since she was able to develop feelings for me whilst dating her boyfriend still.
