Okay, so I read it. I would say that Sophie isn’t a bad person for trying to figure herself out (I know you never said that, but still, I wanted to say so). I would also say not to rush into a relationship right after Sophie. You should wait a while and then see if you still like him, and he might show behaviors that he likes you, too!
I think it would be simpler if you just stayed friends, yes. She also might perceive it as cheating if you go after Eric. You never know, so you guys should just be friends first.
