This was my favorite part of the post, too.

Also, seriously? They talked about how they're attracted to each other but they love their SOs soooooo much. You know what that was? A veiled admission of, "if you make the first move I won't stop you."
Exactly.
All of this plus an eye twitch.

I had it come up one time. A guy in college approached me with something like this. That got shut down with a simple line along the lines of, "This is not a conversation I will be having with you." What I did not say, and what I suspect this poster DID was, *giggle* "Oh my gawd like, I totally think you're cute too but sssshhhhhhh" *giggle* "We shouldn't let them find out."
I've told you guys about my old friend Fred, right?
NO!
All of my male friends look like walruses, so it's all easy for me. Not really, but I don't think I'm friends with anyone I'd date if I were single. Not that there's anything wrong with them (okay, there's something wrong with a few of them, but still), but there's just not that indefinable something there, you know?
Oh yeah. I definitely get that and have some male friends who are very much like that.
But I have been where this chick is, while I was married to XH. My "old friend Fred" was a co-worker at a previous job. When we realized we were on thin ice with the way we were talking to each other (similar thing - attracted to each other but both otherwise committed and knew it was wrong) we cut off all contact.
He now goes by Mr. Bang, but at the time, we had the good sense to realize we were in trouble, step away, cut off contact and genuinely work on our respective situations, neither of which worked out. It wasn't until several years later, and after all the dust had settled, though, that we began talking again even as friends.
Scandal! But seriously, good for you.
