Really intense physical attraction

7 replies

To a man I really have no other connection with, often don't even like very much.

He's a friend I've known for years but while I was married barely noticed him. He was just someone who was often at the same events as me, a friend of a friend type thing.

He's nice enough to chat to, but hasn't always treated "his" women very well. And there have been a lot of them.

Since I became single (and he's been single at the same time) we've had a few "moments" and all of a sudden I find myself spending far too much time thinking about him. This hasn't happened to me in about 30 years 😆

I know it would be madness, but also, I'm kind of up for a bit of an adventure!

I'm going out dancing with him (and others) tonight. Talk me out of (or into?) doing something stupid!

Just be careful, and listen to your gut

I personally would probably go for the "something stupid" route. But if you do, make sure it's a one time thing. And if he is the least bit disrespectful to you, abort mission.

If he doesn't usually treat women well don't you think he'll probably be the same with you?

Interested in this thread?

It depends really, if you did act on it would you be happy with potentially losing them as a friend? Any chance you'll be hurt by it as in develop feelings?

I've had similar, we weren't close friends but saw eachother now and again and once we were both single at the same time we slept together; it was bloody amazing as there was an undeniable physical attraction, but did make things weird afterwards.

Absolutely, but I'm really not looking for "the one", that's the last thing I want.

He'll probably be quite fun to mess around with then!
