Leo and I have been having a cyber affair for several years ... but I don't consider it cheating when he flirts with all the ladies on CS.

Ok, you have probably figured out that I am talking about myself...

I met one man from another site about 2 months ago and another from this site 6 weeks ago. I really enjoy the time spent conversing with both of these men and feel a connection with each. I have spent time with both on the phone, IM, and email. I've told them both that all kinds of interaction are welcome with the exception of sexual and romantic conversation, I feel that those types of things are better left until you meet face to face.

In spite of this I have recently started feeling a little bit guilty... the subject of "seeing" other people had never been brought up but I felt I needed to be honest and have sent each of them a message telling one about the other, no details just the fact that I have been conversing with someone else on a level similar to what I share with them.

I'll be waiting nervously for their responses, I may have lost both of them... or not.

Moi ? Flirt ? I have never so much as even sent a flower to another lady on here. I'm still trying to convince you that the world is flat.

This scenario is different, I was talking about being in a face-to-face LTR (or agreed upon bona fide relationship) or marriage and then began conversing online with somebody whom there would be possibilities with. Hence, the intent was there. Being honest about your other dating activities with someone you just met online is also commendable. Where to go from here is your decision.

And yes I had it figured out that this "some person" was close all along laugh

Toss up is right! I'be been divorced for 25 years, have done a lot of short term dating, and one serious relationship when I was 30, and here I am at 48 still single.

I've lived here in Ibiza for 5 years and while I have made some of the most remarkable and loving friends, both male and female, I have not met a single man that I wanted to date. Meeting 2 with "potential" seems quite amazing to me!

Jacquie, u did the right thing. I bet a huge weight has been lifted and I think they'll leave it up to you if they've been sincere.
I wouldn't run from you, I'd just ask you to make a decision, one or the other.

A little off topic but; Assets, Mindfull, the two women, although being so different, hold a place in my heart. Assets I have spoken to for a long time by phone, and admire her for her wisdom, honesty and one of the most unique voices, (as in sexy)

Mindfull, never have spoken to her nor have mailed but a couple of times, yet she haunts me.

Ok, I should probably fill out the scenario a bit better... you have not met, while you find yourself really enjoying your conversations and opening up more, sharing information and admitting that you miss each other if a few days go by without conversation, you have made it clear that you will not consider love or commitment until after you have met.



I miss you JB......................We haven't had a conversation in a while you know..
