<human>: I've been working at this place. Met this co-worker. Nice gal. 

We hit it off pretty well. Invited her for a couple of drinks. Fun times were had. 

So down the line I asked her to be my girlfriend. Then I found out she's been sort of seeing this friend of 3 years, and while she likes me, she also likes him. So she said she needs time to make a choice.

My question is: do I back off? I know this friend of hers has been crushing on her, and he's biding his time. I don't want to cut his line, I've known her for only a year. Need advice on this.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Co-worker of mine likes me and her friend of 3 years. Can't make up her mind. Should I back off and give way to her friend?
