What I meant was that I have a very close friend who is gay, and also close male friends who aren’t gay ! Is that better ? Whether a person is single is more important. I would say there are many more single people today, than decades ago. I had a short relationship with a woman, she didnt really want a relationship, she is single and will probably remain so. She still messages me, but I am not always comfortable with that, because it plays on my heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’d be inclined to cut off contact completely, you know in a situation where one person is hankering (is that a word?) for more intimacy than the other, it’s really not good for the person doing the hankering.
