That you don't trust yourself or others to have oposite sex friendships?
Time to learn.
I have at least 5 very close male friends who guess what?
They are friends! They even stay at the big house and guess what there is no risk of bone leaping or any other such boundary infringement.
I am very sure that I can compartmentalise the friend from the lover.
It is sensible if you feel a pull to an EA to stop of course it is.
Mu, please understand that you have become a man only a fool would leave, you have tackled many difficult areas of your life, learned, grown and developed.
That is very very attractive.
Jellyb, since you came here you have grown into you, enormous growth.
That is very very attractive.
Realise that you have just both given each other the most important complement of all, one of the most important things that one friend gives to another acknowledgement of them as capable of true connection and recognition that you are both very attractive as people.
Otherwise why would that concern you?
I think it's wonderful.
