<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

To try and summarize, I became friends and found out there was mutual feelings between a close guy friend and I. I hesitated, and through him being away at school (1.5hrs away) and switch from daily talking he started dating another girl. They have been dating for a few months now, but I didn't find out about it until recently. Further, it is confusing because we are really good friends who talk about everything in life, and he tells me when things have "gone too far" with her physically or that he will have to cut it off with her due to religious differences.

I still have some feelings for him, but I don't want to be "that girl" who breaks up a couple. However it is confusing to try and go back to just thinking of him as a friend when we talk often again and I end up being his main confident for a lot of things. I had one friend say I need to just tell him that he needs to give me space to ditch my feelings for him, but I'm not sure that is the best plan.
<bot>: Guy liked me, I liked him but moved too slow. Now he is dating someone else while still talking to me a lot
