So... How close should I be?

Abby (not her real name) is the girl I love. I knew I had to be stay far from her because of what I feel for her but for some reason, we became closer than ever since my recent tiff with Jane.

Given her problems at home, her boyfriend and her new schedule, I felt I had to set aside my feelings for her and be that friend who's shoulder she can lean on. And that's what I did. Ever since then, we've been meeting up, texting like hell, and planning to go out with her kid (yeah, she has a child).

So now what's the real score? I'm cool now. I just don't want to get into another one after that messy thing with Jane, and after still having so much feelings for Jane. Abby is the type of person whom I can rely on whenever I have personal problems that I can't seem to share with other people.

Too many things also are happening right now in her life so I don't want to be another problem by forcing myself to her. Instead, I try to help her out, no matter how little help I can be.

Yes, I like Abby a lot. But... Nah that's enough...

I'll just say right now, I'm satisfied with where I am in Abby's life. If something deeper develops in the future, I'd more than welcome it. Wishful thinking again haha. But still, this is better than not having her even as a friend...
