love

Hi everyone how are you all doing. well this week i am in a very confused state. I profess myself to be ignorant of love. you know i never that love and I mean true love to be so pure yet so painful. honestly I am ready to give up. I do not think I can take anymore heartache in my life. so here is the story. I have known this girl for about a year. but I never had the courage to ask her out on a date but we have been great friends since i meet her and i know she has the same feelings as me because has hinted at it for 10 months out of the past year. well 2 months ago we started going out and it has been pretty great well 2 days ago we have been a lot closer than we have ever been before. well today she went off and told me that she is confused about her feelings and she loves me and all but she thinks she the other guy more. so as a person what am I supposed to back off and say oh you guys should get back together i won't stand in the way or should i fight for her because in the i think she will end up choosing the other guy, and all i will get in the is more pain and suffering then i would have gotten if i just went silently into the night and pretend i never met her. but basically i have no hope that there is a future with her anymore. don't get me wrong I have never felt so much joy in all my life and it is great to finally have someone love me for I am and not what is or isn't in my bank account, but in all honesty, I am at the brink where I just can't take anymore pain in  my heart without becoming emotionally cold and bitter. so if anyone has any advice i would really like some please I am drowning out here and land seems like it will never come again.
