Alright so I met this girl online (who is 31 I'm 26) started off just texting then moved on to meeting up and hooking up. This goes on for quite a while we are both very lovey dovy she says she loves me I say that I love her basic boy meets girl scenario. Anyway after not being able to come over when she wants me to once she stops talking to me. I try talking to her but nothing. When I do get a hold of her she just says that she has been busy. Finally get invited over again after quite a bit of wondering on my part we hang out with some of her friends from her apartment building. She goes silent again then I ask since i'm getting paid if I can come over and hang out since I will have the money she somewhat agrees. When I show up she is surprised to see me but lets me stay. Her and I drink and watch videos online till a friend of hers shows up. Towards the end of the night he leaves and I end up staying with her cause I don't feel well. Anyway after sleeping a bit I get woken up to her taking care of herself she asks me to help to which I do. I leave then come back the next day to find my wallet, we end up talking she explains that she has had a much older and pretty much rich boyfriend this entire time that is taking care of her and her family financially. She says she still has strong feelings to me and makes romantic gestures saying she is still attracted to me mentally and physically. She doesn't want to stop seeing me though she wants me and her to be friends but she wants to focus on being loyal to him. The 50-60 year old rich white guy that is living thousands of miles away and hasn't been there since I've known her which was back in late Feburary.
So what I'm asking is what would cause someone to do this? Is there any hope for me beyond just being her friend? Cause for a reason I really don't know I still have strong feelings for her, and she has shown (at least I think) that she still has strong feelings for me
Better??
