> Dinah is pretty wise- no use in speculating what might have happened. It didn't happen, so don't be so hard on yourself. Plus, being attracted to someone, even if it's just a passionate kind of lust, is in no way perverted! It's human and natural to feel that way from time to time.
Thanks ll. I know somewhere inside my rational self that attraction is natural and not perverted. But this seems excessive. Though, as you say, nothing happened.
Maybe lots of people feel intense attraction from time to time. Maybe lots of people occasionally think “F*ck the consequences; I so would do him [or her].” But I hardly ever hear women talk that way unless they’re talking about Brad Pitt or George Clooney. I don’t often hear women say they’d be prepared to throw caution to the wind for a fifty-something father of three… It feels socially unacceptable to be so attracted to a real man. Sigh.
