Help Me Out!!!!

I am faced with a bit of a conundrum and I am soliciting your advice - so get off your hands and give me some damned comments on this!

It has to do with A. I dropped him off at the airport today - he'll be gone for a week in Europe. I'm OK with that. In fact I'm hoping to learn a little something from it.

Here's the issue. A and I have been friends for a while and I know that last fall he met this girl - J. He and this girl (she's 34 - does that make her a woman?) really clicked and since then he has seen her as much as is probably possible (she lives in TN and has 4 kids). I pretty much know that she is in love with him. And I have a gut feeling that he may be in love with her - if not love he at least has some very strong feelings for her. A is homeless for August (don't ask) and will be spending nearly 10 days with J.

Perhaps I should be jealous. But I'm not. You see the thing is - I've checked out this girls blog and - I actually like her. I'm rooting for her. She is divorced. She had resigned herself to never finding someone she clicks with ever again (been there/am there...) and then A comes into her life and they click.

I know how special and wonderful it is to click with someone like that (S...) and part of me wants to just back out and say - "you know, I think you two have something special and I just don't want to get in the way of it."

I know that I'll never mean as much to him as she does, in the same way that I know that he'll never mean as much to me as S does.

A and I have fun together, we like and respect eachother but there is, realistically, no future there.

So, the question is: should I make way for true love or enjoy myself while it lasts?

Take care, dear readers I'll be eagerly awaiting your responses...

I think you need to talk to him. Don't make assumptions. He is a grown up and can make his own decisions.
