We're not here to piss you off.
I cannot rephrase what he said more perfectly, especially the part about the pent up emotion.
It really seems like you have more that you aren't saying, or that it's really bothering you, or SOMETHING, because you're being very intense about all this.

Well that's nice of you to say. I don't think we're being pricks, we're trying to help, honestly.
The same way Vincoid was a prick to me before.
He was also helpful.
You guys think that because some poor 15 year old saps come in here looking for advice that you're the oh-so-wise GOD and that you know what's right.
Nobody ever said that, but just because you don't hear what you want, doesn't mean you have to pin who's doing what wrong on US. You're dealing with your stress via projection and displacement, two unhealthy coping methods. If you're just some 17 year old guy, according to your userpage, then you're not really any more special than some 15 year old sap.
We're both basically in the same boat, you've just been in it longer. Not that it helps, apparently. I never said I was a god at this or anything, but you asked for advice/input, and that's what you're receiving.
That's shown especially in you, when you say that "if you had done things right, it would have been different". That pisses me off, because it has nothing to do with what I did. It's not as if I had made the "right" move she would have fallen for me. There was no "right move" there was only: Find out or Don't find out. I chose to make a move and find out.
Alright fine, but this is where I'd bring in Knorpfdog's "Like I said, she's with her current boyfriend for a reason. You didn't have to make a move to find out if she'd "go for it" or not, you should've been able to pick up on that just from the situation she's already in :P."
It's not that hard to figure out what's going on.
It's been 2 years, there's no "waiting" to be done
So you think she's obviously unhappy after being seemingly happy in a long term relationship? What made you think she liked you instead of her boyfriend? Is it because you hung out together? Well whoopee, I've hung out with taken girls before. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying, it's not like it makes you a "thing" or a possible "thing" really.
It seems like you might be one of those types of people, who does the sort of thing where they're like "Oh, that girl is smiling at me! She must really like me!".
Not obviously that same thought process or to the same blunt extremity, but something similar, if you catch my drift.
Just because you think it would have been a better idea to do nothing instead and just sit on your hands, doesn't mean I agree. I didn't come here asking "What did I do wrong? Ok now tell me I'm a failure"
You said "Well, what do you think? What should I say?"
I told you what I thought about it and what I thought you should say. I answered your questions. And I never called you a failure, I'm saying that maybe your decisions weren't the best overall. And that's my entitled opinion.
But you guys didn't reply for 2 days (and yet "teenhut.com" replied faster) and things already developed. I don't expect you to be on time, I expect you to not be assholes. But I guess I expected too much.
Oh waah, be a drama queen about it. Because the first thing I do when I log on to my computer every day is to go to Newgrounds.com and see if I can perfectly time a reply to a post in a thread that gets updated every few days. Sorry for not instantly replying to every post in here.
And I admit that I may be a bit harsher on you than Knorpfdog, because he can put my advice to you in a more clear well thought out and well, nicer way than I can. But overall, we're both just trying to help..
Again, I encourage you to read Knorpfdog's posts again once over, and then read Vincoids.
Have a tea.
Watch some sunday afternoon television.
Chill out.
