I'm going to a show with my LO's bff tonight. I think there's a decent chance that if I asked them honestly whether my LO would ever get involved with me, that they'd tell me. Signals about any future romantic possibilities have been mostly negative in the six months I've known my LO, but for that time I've had an SO with whom I've now broken up. I'm expecting to start dating casually in the next couple of months.

LO and I have definitely grown closer and we see each other a couple of times a week as friends (as in, get together for a meal or other high-interaction situation). My general thought has been to just let that continue and see if it ever goes anywhere a few more months down the line. But it occurred to me yesterday that if I knew for sure (more or less) that I'd never have a chance at a relationship with them, it might help me move past the limerence. Does that idea make sense to you?
