I’m 26 years of age and live on my own.<\/p>\nI’m 26 years of age and live on my own.<\/p>\n
I have a boyfriend who I am madly in love with but recently I have been having feelings for a friend of mine I’ve known longer than my boyfriend.<\/p>\n
We have been going out and spending time with each other everyday for the past few months.<\/p>\n
We haven’t have anything intimate because I’m scared that it will jeopardize our friendship.<\/p>\n
I have had strong feeling for him but it disappeared when he went oversees a few years back. Now he’s back and i think we recreated the spark that was there between us!<\/p>\n
Worried<\/strong> Dear Worried,<\/p>\n In reading your letter, I paused on the word “spark”.<\/p>\n Have you ever seen a spark last for more than a moment?<\/p>\n You have been down the road with your friend and because of his travels the spark died.<\/p>\n Love has a more enduring nature.\u00a0 It is usually said that love does not die. What you are going through with this individual is temporary and you know that which is why you are\u00a0 so cautious in taking a step towards intimacy.<\/p>\n You are already in a relationship and you did not mention that your boyfriend is unkind.<\/p>\n If you are in search of this “great love”, chances are it is already right in your arms.<\/p>\n Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Have a problem?
