Question
I am in love with a women who
is a friend( for 2 years ), but she has a jealous bf
she is going to marry--what should I do?
I don't want to lose this friendship--if I tell her
I am in love with her, she will end
the friendship. What should I do ?

Answer
Hey, Jack.  

If a woman is about to marry and she loves that other man, telling her how you feel about her is pointless. If it's hard for you to be around her as a friend, then distance yourself from her pursue other women until you meet someone else who you like and you are comfortable being friends with this woman without feeling any discomfort.
Sticking around now and torturing yourself will hurt you, your self-esteem and confidence so... you might need a short break from this friendship for your own sake.

Of course, if you have any suspicion that she might be liking you and she settles with that other guy for the wrong reasons, then you should make a move but not by confiding in her in you feelings but rather flirting and showing to her through your actions that you are interested.

Thanks, and I hope this helps. If not, please follow up.
