Hey Woman, just want to pop in & say Happy Thanksgiving here too ! When I joined here, I never imagined I'd make friends like you. I am sooooooo thankful that we met and have accompanied each other on our paths.
Doc told me something the other night that I want to share.
He reminded me that all people we meet in life have a certain role, and that role shouldn't change. For example: If I work in the same corporation as a man, he is a co-worker, supervisor, boss, etc.....he is not a flirt friend, potential date, partner, etc. I have trouble with boundaries a lot, so this helps me.
He reminds me about the 3 types of love.
1. friendship love 2. brother sister love 3. passionate love
I am learning to meet someone, determine if I even want to become friends with him. Then let the friendship grow & develop slowly, then assess if there is sexual tension, chemistry or desire. I know you already follow this pattern, but I wanted to remind you that it's something you are already good at.
Love ya
