So I met this girl about two and a half weeks ago at a college social club and we hit it off well. While we would talk in person while at the club, we began to converse primarily through email and text for the majority of these two weeks due to both of us being busy with classes. At first, the majority f our conversation revolved around music, but soon grew to include psychology and philosophy. We met for the first time outside of club last Thursday to prepare and share dinner at my place. We ate, we danced, and we talked for hours after we finessed eating. The problem occurred when we kissed. This was about thirty minutes into the evening, and about 15-30 minutes later she brought up that she has a boyfriend for the first time. This is what prompted us to talk for several hours after dinner and really delve deep into our personal histories. Initially, she mentioned that she felt bad about unknowingly leading me on and that this was the first time that she ever cheated since she holds trust and loyalty to relationships as highly important. Later on, she stated that she may have been willing to come over and kiss me rather than have me cook at her place because of the emotionlessness and passivity of her current boyfriend. We almost made out 3 other times and ended up making out once before I drove her home. It is clear that we like each other. In fact, she mentioned that she would have no problem dating me if she was single. Based on my morals, I presented that possibility that we remain friends, due to what we have in common, but with the understanding that I would like more should she become single. She agreed to this. Since then, we have continued to talk and text almost daily, although now our conversations are even more personal that they were before Thursday. In addition, I have seen her boyfriend she he came to the club on Friday and he really reamed like a serious, quite, and emotionless person. Like a 1 or 2 on a scale where 10 is extremely emotional. I have been thinking about her for a while. I smile when I think about her. I have dreamt about her every night since Thursday. I feel at ease around her, never having to lie or watch my words when talking to her. I am sad that she is in a relationship, but I am happy that she talks to me. What I know about her through our conversations: Her life goal is to help people, possibly by becoming a psychiatrist and opening a clinic in China She believes in gender equality, but not feminism She is extremely open to Anarcho-Capitalism Her skeptisims of any of my views comes from curiosity instead of biased opinions She has a love for some of her Chinese culture, but is not weighed down or overly biased by it when it comes to objective reasoning She is quick to raise questions about cultural biases and contradictions that she sees She is not religious although she said that she was spiritual, which seems to put her around agnosticism She is emotionally present and expresses them freely with me She lives her virtues, as evidenced by taking a semester of school off to help her family when her mother broke her leg and could not properly take care of their household She is passionate about the same types of music and films as me She has had therapy and sees the value in it She laughs at most of my jokes We have talked about our dating histories, though not in too specific terms yet She began therapy after she had problems with her first boyfriend, who was absusive Her other boyfriends since then (3-4 total) were not abusive, though she has been the dominant one in these relationships She has agreed to the definition that love is our involuntary response to virtue She genuinely listens to me She is a foreign student from Shanghai, China She is not like my mom, and this is a good thing She is the most comfortable girl that I have ever been around She does not do drugs nor smokes and rarely drinks What I guess I'm trying to get at is this: Would entering a romantic relationship with this girl be a good or bad idea, considering what I know, should she become single? Is my continued friendship with her inherently manipulative considering our agreement and her current relationship? Are there any questions that I should ask her that would help answer my questions? Is she really a good girl, or am I projecting virtue? Am I not thinking about something? Please help me if you can
