I dated a woman I work with for four years. In both our minds we were soul mates. A year and a half ago she broke it off. I never found out the real reasons.

After we broke up she would still tell me she loved me and we were soul mates. Of course at the same time she was dating another man, a married man. But it's worse than that. In college this guy stalked her--her words Men's Nike Vandal High Supreme Obsidian Clearance , not mine. Now, of course, she'll claim he was "just observing me."

She is still dating him. He is still married. He lives a few hours drive away so it's easy for him to hide the fact he hasn't filed divorce papers yet. In fact, I know he and his wife just refinanced their house, yet my girlfriend is convinced he'll marry her one day.

But wait Men's Nike Air Force 270 Metallic Black Clearance , there's more. To this day she asks me to lunch every day, calls me "babe," touches me affectionately, and talks about vacations together.

If things were right, I would like to begin anew with her. I've tried the approach of moving on and seeing other women. She knows enough to be jealous of these women, but it has no effect. How do I approach it without blowing my chances?
