unless she has cut all ties with you after the dinner date (oh and btw, next time, just take her to a pho place), every man has got a fair shot...you of course are first in line...do your thang. If I was you..i'd spin her on my dj table!

anyways, how do i respond to this? do i just let it be, do i text her and say "hey guess we're just friends now eh?" or do i say "congrats".. or like.. hm, i guess ill just let it go?
Maybe she's confused in a love triangle, and you're part of it.

If I were you, I'd probably move on...if she was more into you, she wouldn't be in her long distance relationship. Long distance relationships are a lot harder to work on then someone right in front of you, and if she decides to cheat on her current bf with you, what makes you think she's not able to cheat on you too? It's all a matter of what you're looking for in this relationship..
.if you're looking for someone with benefits and no emotional attachment...s
ure, why not, but if you're looking for someone in long terms, I'd let it go.
