How much flirting is allowed when you are in a relationship?
When is it crossing the line?
When does it really just mean life and normal human interactions?
Can men and women really be friends?
Can 2 people that once dated, after a time, be friends? Talk regularly?
These things are on my mind today. And an ex that has resurfaced in my life....and on my phone.
I do believe that a friendship can happen without crossing the line. I think that when you have a history with someone, there will be some natural flirting because of the familarity, but it doesn't mean a line has to be crossed.
ReplyDeleteIve recently come on contact with one of my old boyfriends. I dated him twice- once when I was 15 (for close to two years) and then again when I was 22, for a few months.
I have no doubts that after several failed relationships he wonders 'what if', but he also knows that the line is drawn in the sand and he'd better not cross it.
We talk fairly often, and sometimes we do talk about old times. We know a lot of the same people so even though we haven't seen each other in 20 years, we have many of thes ame people in our circle of friends. I'm not interested in anything more than friendship, and in spite of his wondering 'what if' I don't think he is either.
Remember he was an ex for a reason, and just keep it casual and try not to let your emotions from what 'was' cloud your judgement.
*hugs* Hang in there. If you need to talk- drop me an email or a fb message.
You are asking because the question still exists in your mind.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it I catching you during a weak moment. If you can't handle it then run like hell...
Love,
