Wow, what a great thread - thanks! This definitely is giving me a pragmatic perspective as to how I objectively manage my brewing and unclassified feelings for a certain provider. As someone who has not been in any romantic relationship with a man, I might have been too optimistic that I could find someone through these avenues as others (Grindr, Scruff, Tinder) have not been all that helpful. Perhaps I am looking into the wrong places for other things that I need (love, passion, friendship) in life, but I guess at some point, I would want to have those relationships so I can start building my emotional resilience for the impending heartaches that come with them.
I guess hot, naughty, NSA sex will do for now.
