Are you pulling my leg or what? And stop jumping. I can track if you want.. it's just strange leaping across forums.

And.. Do you want to just talk, or should I leave you be?
I like hearing from people, but I don't want to twist your arm either.

I don't know about bi-polar, I've never actually been diagnosed... My mom knows I'd be too affended to get medication or anything...

Question: Do you think it's ok to just casually sleep with a friend as long as you both agree that it won't change anything between the two of you?

"Ok".. is up to the one who decides. Even if it feels right to you, it won't be, to the world at large. Forget about being ok with popular opinion. (That is what you're asking, if you're unsure.)
Second, a friend of mine is attempting to do that very thing, and I understand that. We pick our paths as adults and reap what happens. Good or bad. And.. in my case, I let a friend go, in which we Did have that type of relationship, but one that needed to evolve, and didn't.

Oh him? he's just one of the few guys who is smart enough to be self directed and know his own mind. And he's got money, and he's going to be extremely successful in life, he won't stop until he get's that. And he's funny... And he knows how to treat his girl friend, like actually be nice and buy gifts and pay attention and all those lovely things... And we can't forget he has such a yummy body.

But mostly he's one of the few people I just feel really comfortable around. I can talk and he just smiles and listens, and than actually responds to my prompts instead of there being a strange sort of awkwards silence or something. I feels good to get along with someone that easily.

Short version? Enjoy it while you can, because eventually, some one's going to fall in or out of the agreement. Break the rules, get attached, etc. Things will change eventually. Which still does not mean you shouldn't do it, only that be aware, it has to change.

I was just wondering if it would cause further emotional damage, that's all... A lot of people say they can handle it and it's ok, but then they really can't.

You're right. The one who cares the least, controls the relationship. Who is (generally speaking) this other person you're considering? Or is this just hypothetical?

Let me toss you another bone, concerning my friend.. who's abit further in her mindset than you are (but not by much). She thinks this is going to soothe the itch and all will be well. Apparently until she stumbles over the "right guy". At that point, assuming causual relationship is still in effect, someone's going to be hurt.. despite being told, continually.. "don't get attached to me".

yes, I tend to get emotionally attatched, but the good thing is that there's a time limit. Can't happen when we move to different colleges.

Ok. Popular poll for anyone reading this after you and I get offline for the night: Is it an itch or not?

Morgan, if you're asking for contact with a mental connection, it's doing it halfway. Not nearly as satifying.
You're getting the contact alright, but no connection.

well, I'm not getting too much conection now, so that won't make a difference. I'll settle for the contact. Although I kinda think that the person I was thinking of really needs to open up more and admit people care about him... Which kinda makes me think that there might be more connection... I don't know, but I have a spychic feeling about it.

"Yeah... I guess it needs to be discussed. I hate discussing it though... I'd like my "partner" to be somewhat sychic. Damn."

Sounds like two peas in a pod to me. This person, is the one you're contemplating? Not the taken guy?

As B**A** as you sound on the boards, I have trouble believing you'd have difficulty expressing yourself to the opposite sex.

lol, But they always think I'm joking, I have a hard timing being serious, too embarressing to actually admit that someone could have that much control over your emotions. I like to be in control.

Just to get me straight, the taken one..really is out of bounds, yes? He will never know. (maintain friendship though, because with time.. things could change.)

This other guy, that's "ok".. you'd still have trouble speaking to? Even though you may think Even he.. might have more of a connection potential (likes you more than you him?)
