Hi everyone, I’m a 28-year-old man living in Hyderabad. I’m average-looking, introverted, and I’ve been working at a well-known organization for the past three years. When I joined, our group at work included three girls and two boys. After a few days, the other two boys left the company, so it eventually became three girls and me. Out of the three girls, I was closest to one of them let’s call her A. She was popular, and many guys in our team and other teams had a crush on her. We became good friends, and I never had any wrong intentions. After about two years, she went on Eid holidays for a week, and I suddenly realized I was missing her a lot. Before that, during a team lunch, the girls took a picture while holding my hands. I didn’t feel anything when the others held my hand, but when A held my hand, I felt something different. During her Eid holidays, I confessed that I miss her. She didn’t respond clearly at the time, but from there, our journey started. We began talking daily and texting regularly earlier we mostly spoke only at the office. Over time, she also developed feelings for me. She’s Muslim and I’m Hindu, so we both know marriage isn’t really possible. We never directly said “I love you,” but we started dating, and a few days later we became physical. Things have been going smoothly overall. However, last year a junior let’s call her M (23F) joined our company. At first, we were just friends. Later, I found out she had feelings for one of my colleagues. He’s the type who doesn’t talk much with girls, so I helped him, and they started dating. Everything was fine until a few days ago when our team was teasing each other, and M said she likes me. I’m not sure if she was serious or joking. She also told me she misses me and stays up to meet me during different shifts. But at the same time, she still talks to that colleague and seems close to him as well. Now I’m confused about what’s happening. A is a good person, and I care about her. We both know marriage won’t happen, but we still have feelings for each other. At the same time, M’s actions are confusing me and even with M, there’s a 5 year age gap, and I don’t see it leading to marriage either. I need advice on what I should do next.
