Have you discussed your feelings with her? I read a study not so long ago that claimed people tend to like people more when they're not afraid to say "I like you". As far as wanting to spend the rest of your life with her... slow down. I assume, due to where you posted, you're still in high school. You've got time to become her best friend in the whole world before you get serious. Don't get serious yet - get to know her. Let her know you like her, yes, but... take it easy. You don't want to scare her off by being too quick to jump in feet first. Finally, I assume she's in high school. Let's face it - most teenage relationships don't last long. Oh, yes, there's the rare few who find their true love in high school, but for the most part... yeah, her current boyfriend probably won't be around forever. Get to be her friend, be there to be her shoulder to cry on when it ends, and you'll be next-up when this relationship comes to an end. Listen to her - find out what she likes. It'll pay off in the end.

Of course moving on is an option. she has a boyfriend, theres nothing you can do. how do you know this is the girl you want to spend the rest of your life with? do you know what its like to live with her? doubt it, i'm guessing you're about 16? because i went through the same thing when i was 16 about 3 years ago. its not worth it at all. Move on! theres gonna be soooo many more girls

moving on is ALWAYS an option, even if it doesn't seem like it. So, unfortunately, i'd say moving on is also your ONLY option at this point.

Well, thanks for the comments. But I was told there are 2 feelings you get when you're in a dilemma like this: 1.) "Love". I am young, in high school, and have never actually experienced "love" before. But I got that feeling inside me the first time I laid on eyes on her. The feeling that I'd do anything to get her and anything to protect her, like a Goddess. The reason I said I can't move on or moving on is not an option is because my "love" is preventing me from doing so. I cannot let her get away, I just can't. And 2.) "Desperation". Like I've said, I've never experienced love. I've never had a girlfriend or even kissed one. I even thought, very deeply, about what it might be like if me and this girl went our seperate ways. I've come to the conclusion that, since the world is so big, we'd more than likely never meet each other again in life. And that feeling really hurt. I do plan on moving to Europe as soon as I can (I currently live in NYC). If I did get her to be my girlfriend, there's no way I'd ever leave then, unless she wanted to, as well. My parents are telling me this "obsession", if you will, is probably my desperation to fit in or to finally have a girlfriend, but I am positive this girl is "the one", even if I'm too young to understand what that is. You're all right when you say I don't know what it's like to live with her or even if we have anything in common. But that is the exact reason why I want her so bad. To find the answer, so if we don't have anything in common or if I don't really like her as much as I first thought, at least I'll know and THEN I can finally move on. If I don't, I know I will be kicking myself the rest of my life and I might be depressed about it for, practically, the rest of my life. But she's in a relationship. You're also right when you say teenage relationships don't last long, but no one knows just exactly how long they'll last. I am just really scared.

your not even involved with this girl. Have you told her how you feel? That might be the first place to start. Secondly, you are far too young to know what you want right now. In 10 years from now you will be a different person. What you want right now is not necessarily what you will want in a few years. Give yourself some breathing room. Their are other fish in the sea. Why tie yourself up at such a young age? Wait till you get to college. Ohhhhhhhh man!!!! You will be be around such hot young tjhings that you'll find at least 100 new girls to fall in love with. Dont get caught up with one girl right now. You have your whole life ahead of you to be driven creazy by women.

Take some time to think about things and consider that she might not be the one. I know thats not what you want to hear, but you might understnad later that its for the best. Maybe you should talk to her about it, but if she has a boyfriend then theres not a great chance of it working.

Wow, being in love is great.. but when that person don't even know how u feel.. well.. then it is not so great.. U need to be honest.. with u're self.. I have 2 young adult sons.. one 19 one 18 both fathers and with the "loves of their lives" You should of been there when reality hit.. Now they wished they took more time.. not that they dont love their g/f's (yes they are taking time before they say "I do's) And of course they love their newborns.. But being a teenage is over .. there was and is not a need to rush.. maybe this girl is in the cards for you but just maybe it might be a year or two from now.. Be friends first is the first step to a meaningful relationship.. make sure you know who are first before u try to be someone elses everything...

I've got four guesses. One is that you aren't actually in high school yet. Two is that you're low on confidence which is fine man I was too in my teen years. Third, she's gorgeous isn't she? Possibly the most beautiful human you've ever seen? Well, I'm not going to tell you that you don't love her because I don't know you, and I'll give you respect for your passion. Here's what we have to work with. Sure she's in a relationship, but if we're lucky he'll cheat or she'll decide she doesn't like how he treats her. Either way, chances of them staying together are slim. Trying to break them up will only bring them closer together. Your best bet? Let her be who she is and if she comes around to you then live happily ever after. I'm not saying do nothing. By any means. This is going to be tough because I know your desire for her is overwhelming but you've got to be content with friendship until you can guide the relationship where you want it but this will be a several year process at least, which, if you love her like you say you do will be nothing if the end result is you two together. Your first step is to pay attention to her. The fact that she's willing to talk with you online tells me she's at least a decent person so work with that. Get to know her through simple questions. She's probably going to realize you're probing but keep it relatively impersonal. Don't ask her what her favorite color is, pay attention to what colors she wears to school most and learn that yourself. Ask her how her soccer game went, or how she thought she did on that spanish test yesterday. Make yourself a part of her life and stay involved without coming on too strong and sounding creepy. Avoid asking her things you heard from other people unless it's in casual conversation otherwise she might wonder how does he know that? is he stalking me? Ok your next step which is a ways off, get yourself invited to an event she'll be at with a bunch of her friends. don't gravitate to her but be watchful. Make mental notes of what she likes and doesn't like and make a few attempts at conversation. Keep the topic on her. People love to talk about themselves more than anything else, and you can learn more about them in 5 minutes of monologue than an hour of normal conversation. As she gets used to you being around her friends she'll start to associate you with her friends this is also a lengthy process. And at this point you'll want to move away from online talk and focus more on personal conversation in passing at school or on weekends and so on. Eventually you'll want to invite her to something with a group while her boyfriend is on vacation or something. Use those mental notes of what she likes to make sure it's something she'll really enjoy so when she thinks back she'll be like yeah that guy is really fun. And from there you're on your own. Once a girl thinks you're fun, it's up to her whether she is going to like you more than a friend. My fourth guess? This is a crush that you'll grow out of, but if it's not I hope you guys make it together. Good luck my friend. Let me know if you have any other questions.
