If the remark has hurt you and you can’t accept an apology, you have every right to end the friendship, but weigh the pros and cons of not having this person as a friend

I really like this guy a lot, but he is dating someone already so I know this can’t happen. I keep hoping they will break up but that doesn’t seem likely because they have been together for four years and will probably end up marrying. Someone I know recently told me he has feelings for me, and the only reason I haven’t gone on a date with him is because of this idea I have that I will one day manage to be with the guy I really like. Part of me wants to just get over it and move on, but even the idea of hoping for him makes me happy so I don’t know what to do. I can’t stay single forever, but isn’t it okay to just wait for someone you think is perfect for you?
The person you like is in a committed relationship, and you are aware that he may never break that. You also do not take into account the fact that you don’t really know him very well, certainly not as well as his girlfriend does. This idea of being together hinges upon the speculation that he will also feel the same way about you, and that you will like him even after you get to know what he’s really like. It’s okay to wait for someone, but you also have to be reasonable with yourself and consider the possibility that there may be other people who can be great to have in your life. You don’t have to get into a relationship with the person who has asked you out, but there’s nothing wrong with spending time with him and getting to know him better either.
