<human>: We get along great. We're very honest with each other. I told her I had feelings for her, and that was her reply.

She's my roommate's ex. They went out for about four months. The thing is, even my roommate admits me and her have a special connection he never had with her. He says he would never oppose me pursuing her and he's hoping one day she has feelings for me like I have for her.

I didn't even approach him about it. He brought it up to me.

"Do you have a crush on her?"

"Err... why?"

"So that's a yes. I've known for a while."

She tells me I'm a great guy and all that stuff but all I want is to be the person she curls up with to watch a movie.

Failing that... I won't do anything to risk losing her as a friend. If I'm permanently off her radar, I'm not sure what I should do. I can't keep talking to her every day without it being very unhealthy.

I would have to (temporarily) get away from the situation until I'm sure I can keep my emotions in check. I don't want to put undue pressure on her and I don't want to stress myself out.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I think we can have something special and I'm not the only one who thinks it. She doesn't now, but will she ever?
