<human>: This is my first post on relationships so excuse anything against the rules.

So here's the story. Last month I got on well with a girl, one of my friend's mates, at a uni party, we kept in touch and my friend said that she took a bit of a liking to me. In the meantime I had developed a small degree of feelings towards one of my housemates. Last week however, I got together with this girl, nothing too serious but it confirmed my friend's suspicions that she likes me, so we went out for a drink, chatted a bit, and got on really well.  Over the past few days I've met with this girl a couple more times and I finally decided to ask if this is going anywhere serious, to which she replied "Well we're not really going out, we're more 'seeing each other'".  I asked my friends what this means and apparently it's more of a casual thing that we've got going. Not that she'll go sleeping around but that it's not anything too serious at the moment, but there's definitely the chance that it'll develop into that.

In the meantime the one I have feelings for has gone home for christmas, so I have a few weeks to decide on what to do. I'd love to ask her out, but I'm stuck as to what to do with the first one. I like her, but I'd be happier with the housemate. If it backfires I'm left with neither. What would be the best course of action to take on this?

Again, excuse me if I've left out any information or stuff like that, I'd appreciate any advice on the matter and if anyone needs more info I'll do my best to provide.

Thanks :-)

<bot>: Confused between "Seeing someone" and "Going out with someone", trying to decide between asking out a girl I like or "seeing" one I've just met.
