<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

After bumping into a girl I have known for 3 years through our hobby (cosplay) but never got the chance to hang out with, I asked for her number. A few days later I asked her out. She accepted. We then started to regularly hang out and have dinner every weekend for about a month, as well as text and chat every night.

I've grown to really like this girl so much, we have so much in common. I'm a sucker for girls who read and write (being a reader and frustrated writer myself) and love how much she respects her parents, brothers and sister. We also planned to cosplay together someday.

In one of our late-night texts, I found out that she liked someone in her workplace, and that guy also liked her. Just that despite being in the same workplace, they don't get to see much of each other and that this guy isn't really fond of communicating via text or chat.

Well I did confess to her that I like her. She told me she hopes she didn't hurt me by telling me that she liked another guy, and that she respected me for still being friends with her (yes here's the friendzone :<). The following Saturday, we hung out again, had dinner and went home. 

So my question is, should I continue on staying with her, hoping that she'd stop liking the guy so I can court her (yeahp, I'm old-fashioned)? Or should I just give up giving her my time?
<bot>: Attracted to amazing girl, girl likes someone else and that someone likes her too. Yet she still takes the time to hang out with me and communicate with me a lot.
