...Humor me.

Let's say I have this Scorpio friend...and she has been dating this male Scorpio for a bit over a year now. And they live together. And my Scorp friend is practically best friends with this Cancer male who does not live in this country anymore...and this Cancer friend of hers, like 9 years ago she briefly dated him. But it ended, he moved away, blah blah blah.

So, the Cancer friend is coming to visit in the States, and my Scorpio friend isn't sure what to do because clearly her Scorpio S.O. is not a fan of the Cancer because technically the Cancer is an ex...and the male Scorp doesn't know that the Cancer suggested that he and my Scorpio friend...um....connect on a deeper level since there has always been an attraction there...

My Scorpio friend feels like the most important thing is honesty, but at the same time, she's still pretty young and doesn't want to miss out on the person who, after all, just might be the one for her...but she's not some cheating slut, either....aaaaagh!!!!!!!!! Clearly, she is very torn, and feels like she'll almost be damned either way.

Anyone have any advice? She uh, really really needs the help. 🙂

I am not trying to find a way to end things. No. I just don't want to miss out on something that could theoretically be amazing.

It's like this...if I didn't give in to the Cancer, I would stay, fairly happily, with the Scorp. But if I do give in to the crab, and it's amazing...well, shit, he'll still live a zillion miles away so maybe nothing could really take off anyway.

😢

I have always really liked the crab. Always.

A 12-string neck is just like a 6-string neck, but there are tiny string next to the regular ones. A 7-string guitar has a wider neck because it has 7 separate strings. It's a cool and not so hard adjustment so far.

My stare makes people uncomfortable sometimes, but i don't look people in the eye very often, just people i know and like, otherwise i feel dirty. Thanks.

Man i hate people.

lol, yeah, I'm not a huge fan of people in general myself. I come here, of course, to avoid all this "connecting" out in the "real world". Don't like it out there as much. Far less free to opine. Much more pressure to smile and nod.

Thanks for clearing up the guitar confusion. I'm such the novice. (With the 12 string thing...I was thinking of a double-neck. Ha)

Your stare would make me uncomfortable except for the fact that it's too sexy for me to feel much of anything other than the desire to ... experience it for as long as possible. (lol, I'm really not trying to hit on you, I just wanted to mention that you have the best stare)

Dirty, ha. Well, it is a cool and dirty stare 😛

The best way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. That was what Oscar Wilde said and I agree with him (even if he did die of a venereal disease in prison!). If your - sorry your friend's - scorpio BF, would not tolerate the idea of you 3 hooking up together then you may well have to do it covertly. And whatever way your heart goes you should follow but try to tell the other parties involved quickly instead of leading them on down the garden path cos that'll piss them off BIG time.

PR,
Don't be silly, it's you admit it! Anyways, in reference to your situation, if you feel like you'll be missing out on something wonderful, then you aren't where you're supposed to be anyway. Sounds to me like you've been haboring feelings for said cancer for quite sometime. If you don't act on it, it won't go away. And if you were truly happy in the situation you're in with the scorp, then you wouldn't have a wondering eye. I've been in a similar situation, so I know how you feel. You won't be able to give your scorp 100% and that's not fair to him. Your hearts desire can't be elsewhere than your relationship, otherwise neither of you will be happy.

Take care and good luck!

Alright. Here's the update (a very brief one, it's all still too fresh to get into it too much)

...

I saw him, it was amazing, we talked for hours and kissed for a long time after deciding that since we're both otherwise involved, anything too crazy would be wrong and cause even more longing for each other and weirdness to the friendship etc.

It was amazing, though. I think I want him even more, now. 🙂 😢 🙂

Sigh...

It is. Wonderful and painful. I'm beginning to think there is no bliss without intense pain.

I wonder what things will be like between us now.

We discussed the silliness of calling each other "friends" when we both know what it's really all about. And of course we really had our first foray into crossing the line, officially...so it's not even a hypothetical anymore, clearly the desire is there, so it will be harder to pretend mere friendship is all there is. Hmmm, this could become really interesting. I just hope nothing's been ruined.

By the way, I've decided Cancer men are the best kissers in the entire Zodiac. I can't even describe how good it was. Wow... 🙂

Haha, thanks you guys.

Yeah, I've most definitely got it bad. Really bad.

It's just...I can't help knowing that we would be so good together. It's just going to take a firm decision from both of us that we want to try it enough that one/both of us could make a huge decision like moving to another continent. And we're both frightened of such a big change-around. I mean, one of us would have to leave our lives and families. That's hard, especially for water signs. Ugh. But then when I think about it, it's not really *that* far away, in terms of a plane ride.

🙂 😢 🙂

He's being all tight-lipped right now...about everything. So I will give him space and time. And we will just see what happens.

I just do not believe that two people can share such a connection and let it slip away...it can't happen! (Meaning, I don't want that to happen!)

Thanks for chiming in, it's nice to not feel completely alone in the way I feel.
