<human>: Well, it basically all started about 11 years ago (please keep reading =\ ).  I have known this girl since she was 13 and a I, 15.  I have *always* had a thing for her, and she has *always* had a thing for me.  

We were just always tied up in other relationships or didn't talk for a while here and there.  Fast forward to almost 3 years ago (her 22 and me 25), and she's always hanging out with me and having troubles with her abusive cop fiance.  They have had a kid together, he has PTSD, blah blah.  Present day, They have been separated for probably 5 months or so.  Me and her hang out a lot, she brings me food at work, I give her discounts on items, her kid loves (and knows) me, but it just seems like the gap can't be closed between us.  

My family loves her, I love her, her kid loves me, but I just don't know what to do.  I've asked her out recently and said she wasn't ready and I feel like she's seeing another guy, but I can't prove it.  I'm just keeping my cool for now and letting whatever float on, but I don't want to lose her again and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.  

Any advice?  Any insight?  Should I keep chasing her or just say fuck it and go for something else?  Any helpful advice is greatly appreciated!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: Long time girl of my dreams has probably friend-zoned me, but kind of treats me as a boyfriend.  Can't close the gap because she's somewhat fresh out of a relationship.
