So, i'm down with dating multiple partners and so is my current girlfriend. Well, a little less than a year ago I told a girl I'd met at camp that I was interested in dating her, and she said she wasn't really into dating at the time. OK, cool. We're still friends and talk some to this day.
It gets complicated when she tells me she actually was interested in me starting around two months after I'd talked to her about it, but she'd tried to get over it when I told her I was dating someone else, and neglected to mention the whole dating multiple people thing, because I'm an idiot.
Well, here I am now, knowing she's been interested in me, and still might be in the future, and it feels just super weird sitting on my hands. I mean, she's a state away, but we've talked six or seven hours a night for the past few days, and she said I'm the closest person to her besides her other best friend.
Do I just wait around and see if she decides to get into dating and hope she's still interested? Or do I, like, let her know it's something I'd like to pursue? Or just scrap it all together and stay solidly as friends?

Unless you/she is willing to move together, there is no point in dating. Find real gf from your location first and just keep her as boring friend for now.
And no, you wont be first, nor last guy/girl who played the dating game with multiple cards at once.

That's fair. I've done the long distance thing before for about six months, and I could probably do it again. And she comes down to where I am fairly frequently for, like, conventions and stuff.
But distance does tend to... complicate things.
Also, the fact that the 'backup guy' graph exists is pretty great.
