Q. I have been friends with Lacey for almost our whole lives. In the past five years, I developed a crush on her. She had been having problems with her boyfriend, so I told her I was interested in her. And she said she felt the same way and would end things with the guy she was with. Now it's a year later, and they're still together.
How can I talk to her about this without seeming pushy? I'd understand if she no longer feels the same way, but I don't want to continue to be strung along. I want her to make a decision once and for all. How can I bring this up with her? Why do you think she hasn't broken up with him yet?
