[color="#9932cc"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]If you were to continue to pursue her, you would need to be prepared for a LOT of heartache and heartbreak. While it's sweet of you to want to be the person to treat her right, if she can't kick these other problems, then she's just going to destroy herself, and anyone else she takes with her.
Trust me, I know [though admittedly, not from a romantic standpoint, but from a platonic/friendship standpoint]. Granted, most of them got better, but holy cow it's not something you want to take on if you're not prepared.[/font][/color]

I think going into any relationship means you need to be prepared for heartache and heartbreak, but I agree that this one has a much better chance of causing it. Really the Question isn't weather I would be willing to try or not... it is if she would let me. The only thing she wants from me is a quick fling (something I don't want at all) so even if I tried all that I could, it would end up failing.

[color="#556b2f"][font="Times New Roman"]That sounds exactly like my x-friend. But she was always in denial of it. Then she did something really stupid and messed around with her best friend's fiance. That screwed her up even more. And not to mention she is a drug addict and alcoholic. But asdgad, I digress. You have to be really willing to put up with her. But she doesn't sound as bad as my x-friend. I feel sorry for her current boyfriend.[/font][/color]

It makes you feel bad when you can't help them out. I know that she needs to help herself before I can do anything at all for her... but watching someone struggle is agonizing.
I really don't feel sorry for her current boyfriend though... most guys tend to enjoy purely physical relationships where you are free to date other people if you want.
