As an LBS we are vulnerable at this stage. Vulnerable to a kind word, a long glance, a hug, some normal conversation a nice dinner, a good time out. Do not let that vulnerablitiy drive any of your choices. Be strong Punkin - I know YOU know you are.
NO truer words have been spoken...it is so easy to "I would never..." but put in a situation with someone understanding you, caring about you, seeing you for who you are and yet still wanting to be your friend...can quickly change, I speak from experience...I had my lines drawn, moved them a few times...I didn't ever break my vows but I did end up hurting someone's feelings along with my own...at the time it seemed ok because I said "I just need a friend, nothing more. I would not be free to be anything more unless I was divorced." But that didn't change the feelings that weren't being spoken...
