If love isn't involved, then I don't understand the question.


I think she means shes fallen in "like" with someone, who she shouldn't, perhaps....?


If it's just like, then I don't have any suggestions. I've never had a problem in this department.


One time I started liking a friend's girlfriend, and the feeling was reciprocated, but I knew I would never do that to him so I did not pursue it. Perhaps OSB is in a similar pickle

I'm glad this cleared it all up for you, as it did I, long ago

Thank you, b9, for your careful answer to my question. I feel that I have intruded in some way by asking what I did and apologise if you or the OP feel that I have.

you did not intrude in any way as far as i am concerned. i appreciate that you took the time to ask me those questions and i answered them in as brief a way as i could. i have trouble with summarizing, and i usually go into arduous detail and fill in every gap in the mind of the questioner, and i did not want to do that in this thread because this thread is not about me.

Thank you for reassurance and for clarifying your hesitance. I thought you succeeded in answering complex questions succinctly but completely. I too have to be on guard against the tendency you describe. My NY resolution is shorter WP posts. Here, for once, I may have succeeded.

How to unfall for WP [and thereby reclaim one's life]? Now, THERE's a question! :D
