Women are evil; alcohol is more reliable. Resign yourself to the whims of your wannabee gf or find another, meanwhile, keep drinking.

She told you she has a boy friend and "boy dosent give up".
She sees you as a friend. Save her and yourself a lot problems and move on. There are a lot of other women out there who do not have boyfriends and want a relationship.

Have you "consummated" your relationship yet? If so she might be looking for something from you. like take the next step? move in together?
If not then I'm out of ideas
yea, and you might be her safety school. you know the one you tell "Yea I'm going to attend as soon as I get my paperwork straightened out" while you are secretly waiting for the acceptance package or rejection letter from schools you'd rather go to.

tell her how you feel, how you're uncomfortable with the whole situation...lay your cards out on the table...be open with her...if she accepts u, then great...if she dodges the question, reword your questions into yes or no answers...
your:
"you still interested in him?"
"is it possible you and he will get back together?"
her:
"well, blah blah blah blah"
you:
"it's a yes or no question and you still haven't answered it"
be straight up and forward, life's too short to deal with such BS...if it doesn't work out in your favor...as much as you care for her...drop her...ppl come and go in our lives, that's a fact...and majority of ppl will choose love/relationships over friends...yet another sad but true fact...i'm goin thru a semi-similar situation, so i'm preparing for the worst, negativity filling up your every emotional vein is something you don't deserve to deal with...no one does...
so if you feel things won't work out, squash it and carry on...if this happen, your most difficult task will be goin thru the motions of emotionally detaching yourself from her, even totally cutting her out of your life if necessary...stick to your guns, maintain your integrity and make sure your civil about it all by giving her the respect that she deserves as a friend by telling her that you have to cut her off and why....
good luck...

If she hasn't gotten over her ex, then no amount of waiting/acting from you is going to make it happen. That's just how it is. You now have to decide if it's worth being "number two" for a while until she figures out what she wants (knowing full well the entire time that said want might not be you), or if you would rather move on.
You could be the world's most perfect guy, God's true gift to women, and she STILL wouldn't see you for what you are until she deals with her feelings for her ex. And there's absolutely nothing you can do to change that. It's something that she has to work out on her own.

good idea...lay it all on the table, establish where you stand and what level she views you at...this way you can get closure on the issue and will know if you're wasting your time (in which case it's time to let her go) or if she truly has feelings for you...
remember...don't let her dodge your questions, reword to yes or no if necessary, but make sure you get your closure (very important!)...
good luck
