There is a virgo man in my life that I've known for over a decade. In all truth I've always been attracted to him, but he was married to a friend of mine and I never would have acted on it as it would have been totally inappropriate and a betrayal to my friend. That was a line I would not cross! They divorced about six years ago and he was in the military and deployed several states away. I was so disappointed because I adored him - his personality, his intellect, his kind and gentle nature. I have such admiration for him. Always have. I was happy just to have him as a friend and thought that was all it would ever be, but thought I'd never see him again since he was up north and I felt awkward about trying to contact him.

I felt like he had brought me flowers! I later told myself that I was being ridiculous and I was just starved for attention (current bad relationship) and making too much of it. He's such a kind and generous person to everyone in his circle and I told myself that's all it was. we stayed in touch via text messages mostly, but recently I was frustrated due to the verbal and emotional abuse of my current partner. Since most of my friends have been run off by my current man I no longer have anyone to turn to for emotional support, so In frustration I reached out to him and then instantly regretted it, thinking 'well, that's it. He won't want to hear my drama and will probably never talk to me again.' I was wrong, not only did he text back but he real
