Dear Smiley,

She has to sort herself out. Tell her you'd like to be together with her, and that you'd be happy to if she broke up with her boyfriend. Then take a month off from each other, let stuff cool down.

She may not be interested in you. Give her time to figure it out.

This is solid (as always). I was recently in this situation, but on the other side (I was the bf in Europe). Things ended up working out, but I can see how they could go the other way just as easily. Time is key here.
