BINGO!! Thats the exact problem that I have right now. I have a friend who moved in with me three months ago. We have known each other for many years and have always been touching. Its also been just short of sex. This seems to be just fine for her, but I have gotten rather attached to her and find that I do have sexual feelings for her. I know that we have some kind of committment, because we have been talking about moving lately and she tells me that she'll move just about anywhere in the world with me. Sometimes I feel like she would be receptive and sometimes I feel like she wouldn't, but I know that if I tried to make a sexual relationship out of what we have I could ruin a GREAT friendship. So, yeah, we touch and have back and foot rub sessions and hug and do lots of things together, but I've gotten to the point where I want more and right now I feel frusterated. -- Robert A.
