My friend says that this is more than likely but I think he's a retard and a cynic. Then again he has a wife and child. I don't My sister reckons I'm probably right her. I don't want to tell my other friends my plan because we all are in one big friend group.

I've been living with this girl for years. I fancied her years ago but I got over it and dated around since then.

Since Christmas for whatever reason, her attitude to me has changed. She's told me why she thought I'd be better suited to dating herself than my girlfriend at the time. She's also said stuff like I'm her best friend, that nobody knows her the way I do etc etc. She's also got very hands on with me while drunk.

I'm just going to ask her out because I won't want to date anyone else while this is in my head. I just want to make sure I have the right idea, that this kind of behaviour is more than likely indicating what I think it is?

Just to be sure. Are you absolutely sure she isn’t trying to rebound. Or she’s done something or done someone and she’s hiding it.
If you’re comfortable with your current gf why fuck it up?

When a feeling like that comes, act on it.
Usually you're more in tune with yourself than you think: you often know in advance if it's going to be a no or a yes. And for the most part, in my life at least, I knew the answer is going to be no. So I didn't try.
But I'll tell you what mate - try. Why try, you ask? Because your inner feeling matters. If you feel a compulsion to ask, it means that you feel there is a chance. So you ask. And you ask clearly, with intention to be romantic. Whatever way you do it - use the word date, ask if she's single, tell her you like her - whatever way you use is good, it just has to be clear that you're now shifting the conversation to romantic intent.
And because you already feel a no coming, you know to expect a disappointment, and you know that your chance is small, but you're not a doomer about it. You ask and you expect a refusal from her, and you know that that's a small chance she will answer positively, so you preemptively prepare yourself to NOT be disappointed with a no, and rather to be pleased with the fact that you asked and solved your own feeling like an adult. This has two effects:
1) you feel good that you asked, you "shot your shot", your confidence went up thanks to following on a feeling you had (I used to think feelings were gay, but actually there's so many factors in human communication that sometimes your feeling knows the truth before your brain does, and that's why I say follow and act on your feeling). You also avoided wasting time wondering and in pain, over someone who doesn't want you. You saved yourself from prolonged pain by inducing momentary pain.
2) if she DOES say some version of yes, you're going to be so happy that you asked.

That's it, feel free to ask more. Enjoy mate.

I can't believe I'm this gay faggot who tells you to follow your feeling but, I recently noticed that my feeling about a person and our dynamic is usually true. And I'm smart enough to know when I'll get a know, which works against me actually - I didn't tell me first crush that I loved her for 6 years all throughout middle school and highschool because I knew she would say no and I didn't want to bother her. Big mistake. Grand mistake. You SHOULD tell EVEN WHEN you know you're going to get a no - for yourself. Fuck the other girls feelings. If you are doing it respectfully and not being pushy, and backing off after a reasonable effort and getting a no - then you're fine. You've sent the handshake signal, if she didn't send it back - time out. If she sent it back, time for some steamy, hot pile o' diarrhea-y hot sodomy

>My friend is a retard for telling me not to be a cheat
>He's only married with a kid and outranks me in experience, what does he know?
>So anyway guys I really want to fuck someone. Behind my girlfriends back, will this backfire?

That's what you sound like.

Relationships grow. Propinquity is the best way to develop a bond with people. You've been living together for four years..
If you like her, date her, sounds like she's genuinely into you.

>my girlfriend at the time
OP hasn't given any indication that he's currently in a relationship. In fact, he said
>I won't want to date anyone else while this is in my head
So he's most likely single. Work on your reading comprehension, anon
