Well helloooo handsome! So you have a flirt buddy at work, or a cute new guy moves in next door. What happens if the friendship turns into something more?
It happens to the best of us. We have a guy, or we break up, we see another guy, yadda yadda yadda. You know the story. If you’ve learned from your mistakes like most of us have, you know the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Cheating can be a temptation, and also the cowardly way out of ending your current relationship. If you’ve met a new guy and you can’t decide on letting him go, ask yourself the following:
Are you willing to give up this friendship? If the answer is no, then he has obviously become emotionally important to you which threatens the emotional and physical bond between you and your partner.
Would you confront him about your mixed feelings? Knowing this could end your “flirtation”, are you brave enough to ask about the boundary lines and risk losing them?
Would you miss the emotional tie? Have the elements of flirtation or the emotional tie developed into something you look forward to and you would miss them if they ended?
How would your partner perceive this relationship? If receiving a phone call from your mate while with your flirt makes you uncomfortable, there are definitely inappropriate feelings. Are you reluctant for your partner to know about the interactions with your flirt, even if they are non sexual?
This is a dangerous path to be on so tread lightly. The best way to keep yourself out of this situation is to not be in inappropriate settings together, set boundaries and make them crystal clear, do not discuss personal issues that push your friendship to another level, and do not keep interactions like this from your partner.
Reduce your vulnerability from outsiders who may wish to pursue an affair or who are receptive to the idea. If you think a friendship is morphing into a relationship, you need to step back and take a good look at the situation. Decide if you are willing to give up your partner for a little fun on the side that will probably end up in heartache anyway.
