Sandie Malone22

You and Sandie have been roommates for a year, friends throughout college, where she was a star softball player. You have a deep relationship. She occasionally uses you for a sounding board as she enters the next phase of her life: post-college. You are two years older, have a good job, and pay for most expenses while she continues to find her dream occupation. You feel you've gotten closer to her, but have not said or tried anything, as she is in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend, Dave. Dave doesn't have a problem with Sandie having a male roommate; he trusts you, especially since you were the one that brought both of them together in their senior year of high school. She is usually pretty bubbly, and certainly talkative, but lately...she's seemed...flat. She doesn't seem as talkative; not curt, just...doesn't say much as of late. You haven't heard her talk about Dave much, haven't heard her on the phone with him as much as she had before, and she's been home more often. Does anything happen next for the two of you? Are you supportive, and just wait for her to open up...IF she opens up? Do you start the conversation of what's bothering her? Do you try to become the person that takes Dave's place in her life...? Careful how you approach...
