OK a few months ago I split up with my girlfriend, it just wasn't working out... I enjoyed the sex and things we did together but I didn't love her...

Well about 3 months ago I started a new job and there's a girl there that's a year older than me who I really like. I say I really like, i'm infatuated with her, she's beautiful (not ooh I wanna fuck her, but she's angelic and is just so gorgeous), she's kind, considerate and from what little I know about her I know we have alot in common. But the problem is that I am extremely shy (i'll explain in a minute) and find it so difficult to talk to her incase I either make a fool of myself or something, I also feel she wouldnt want to talk to me (dont ask me why)...

ok here's why I am really shy at the moment, last year I got really ill and got quite thin because of it, well people were putting the thought that I needed to put on weight so much that when I did I couldnt stop and now i'm quite big, because of it I have little or no self confidence and so feel stupid trying to talk to a girl who I have feelings for who barely knows I exist.

The other problem is that she has a boyfriend, a few years older than her... I personally dont like him, he's treated me like a complete wanker while i've known him, and I suppose im jealous.

Now i'm not saying I want to split them up and get together with her because for all I know he could be prince charming towards her but I just need an answer and I honestly dont know what i'm looking for by posting this..

But I am. purely for the fact that over the last 6 months i've gone through a bad patch, everyone I thought I knew apart from close family have turned on me, I now literally have no friends (despite me always being nice to everyone they treat me like shit in return) and I suppose i'm merely looking for someone to spend time with.
