Title: The Title of Girlfriend

By: blazed

I have been dating this woman for 3 months now. She has said in the past the "she really likes me." We have already slept together and admitted she enjoys my company, as well as, having "relations" with me. However, 2 days ago she admitted that she still has "love" for her ex. They have been broken up for more than 1 year now and he does not want to do anything with her. I should point out that the relationship with her ex was with her best friend whom she pretty much grew up with. This is the first time she has dated outside her circle of friends. She treats our relationship as a friendship. After talking about it she said she will not "give me the title of boyfriend/girlfreind" despite the fact that we do things that normally boyfriends & girlfriends do. At age 26 she has that issue "the girlfriend title" which is one reason why she is not with her ex. He did not want the freindship with benefits thing and the last time we hung out she admitted that she has had suicidal thoughts, but admits she could never hurt herself. I know this type of thinking is not normal and she has also admitted that she will seek professional help. We have not spoken in a few days now; as if she was distancing herself. My question is what do i do? I mean yes i really like her, but i am at a lost. Any advice on this would greatly shine some light.
