I met this girl about 4 months ago when my friend, who was her girlfriend at the time, introduced us and we quickly became friends. Since then, she broke up with her girlfriend and very recently decided that she wanted to have another relationship. I decided that I liked her and took her on date since I knew that she was bisexual, but she told me at the end of the date that she was more interested in women than men. We talked for awhile after that and eventually decided that it would be okay to start casually dating. Immediately I knew that this probably wasn't going to last, but I went ahead with it because I might be a way to gain more experience.

Since then she has made it very clear to me and everyone around her that she is looking for another girlfriend. We're friends, I hang out with her every week, and she continues to show affection towards me (hugs, kisses, but not sex) but continues to make the distinction that she is looking for a girlfriend. Until recently I was not very socially active and this is my first pseudo-relationship. I understand that our terms were keeping it “open” but I can't help but feel like I'm just a stepping-stone.

So far she's been unsuccessful in finding a girlfriend and we're still dating but I don't know what I should do. She definitely has a lot more experience than I do and it seems like just a matter of time until another option comes around. It's very difficult for me to think rationally about what to do and I feel as though I made a mistake by becoming too emotionally invested. What should/could I do?
