Hello Guys.

This is my first time posting over here and I am in dire need of help with this situation. Here's what it is.
I haven fallen for this girl in my team at work. She is really a gem of a person and thats what really makes me love her more and more each day. We walk everyday to the station as she lives in a different city and she travels 3 hours everyday to and fro. I have been indirectly telling her my feelings everyday as to how much I like her a person and how much I love to spend time with her without any time restriction. She does see me as her best friend, We lunch together, Play some games together, and as mentioned above even walk together. I can tell that I am deeply in love with her and I am planning to tell her next year after I am back from vacations. I guess she probably knows it but I dont think she completely realizes it that I have strong feelings for her.

Now the current situation is that there is a guy in my team who happened to study with her in college and he joined the co. a year before me. Basically he is her buddy but however from all the conversations I have had with her and him. They are not into each other and I can tell that by their communication. However since they are buddies, and his nature is a bit cocky and childish. He tends to get a bit physical with her as he goes to her desk. rests his hand on her shoulders. Massage her etc. (all that in a friendly way) and she seems to be completely fine with it. And he always interrupts my conversation with her as he tends to always do this awkward interruption. And that is really bothering me as my anxiety levels are going high each day they interact.

My question is that how do I handle his behavior as he is also my colleague and we tend to work with each other on a day to day basis. I really cant stand him going to her and being physical as she in a way responds back to him since they are college buddies/friends. I am afraid that if she rejects me there is a strong chance he might capitalize on that situation and as much as I am fine with letting her go, I am not at all fine with her being in a relationship with him.

I am really confused as I am stuck between these 2 dire situation.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS ?

I really didn't understand what you are asking.
