Girls, have you ever had a guy "on the back burner" who admired you despite you being in a relationship?

[scooogy]

How did you manage him admiring you and did you encourage him, just to keep him around?

[SleepingHazard]

No, but I have had guys hoping I would be their back burner, while they were dating someone else. It happens quite a lot.

[scooogy]

how long did you stick around for?

[SleepingHazard]

Once I learn someone is dating, I am gone.

[scooogy]

I seem to hope I could convince her that I've improved in my life, but the thing was that back when she urged me to find a job, I was in true need for money and felt disoriented. Now that she seems to date someone else but doesn't seem happy, I have earned some money and now she finally gives me helpful advice. But I know her for too long now to just let her go, especially if she seems happier around me than with her boyfriend.

No, I wouldn't keep a backup just in case.

[scooogy]

where's the difference to a back burner though?

[Abbycado]

There is not a difference between backup or back burner. Either term, I wouldn't do that as I already said.
