The thing is, we are both in what are now very long distance relationships because weve both left home for college and we discuss them quite a bit to eachother, she knows i am looking to end my relationship soon (not for any reasons to do with her), and she says that if i break up with my girfriend that makes her want to end it with her boyfriend more, but she's still scared too.
this is quite obvious that she wants to be with you. but she needs to have a more secure feeling because you are still with your gf. BUT.. if she is into you good enough, her bf will not be a problem.
investment theory.. i bet she probably invested alot (emotion, time, money...etc) into her current bf.. so comparing to you whos a guy she just met in a colleague for a while.. she wouldn't want to risk it unless she is totally secure to be with you.
heres what you can do. play that hot n cold stuff. dont find her THAT often and do things like not replying phone call/sms in an instant. these action make her feel like a loss and she will work herself to try to get it back (investment). the more she invest the more shes into you.
personally letting your current gf off first isn't a good thing to do, from my experience, existing girlfriend can be very useful in setting up the hot n cold stuff. and by letting your girlfriend off first, you are telling her "im fully into you" and she's gonna hold the decision and she rules the game..
