He’s married and you’re in a relationship (you both know each other’s status).

You’ve known each other for about a year and he calls you for lunch sparingly. He often invites you to social networking events (you’re allowed to bring whoever), invites you to concerts, invites you to the country club to play golf, and he’s always willing to connect you to his social network.

The time you spend together is your time and no additional people are invited. The one thing you love boating, he loves as well.

You go on his boat. You converse and spend separate time alone. You both do work. You prepare lunch. You both take naps in separate resting areas on the boat. You both take turns steering/driving the boat. Besides the occasional, you’re beautiful comments…you sometimes catch him staring at you, but he never tries to touch you or even suggest anything of that nature.

So what do you do? Is this man a life long friend or a major mistake waiting to happen?

Help a sistah out!!!

well you and him both took vows to be faithful to your partners, if you and him feel like you both want to take it a step further i advice you to really think this through it is just not your feelings or his feelings to consider but your spouses also. maybe you need to cut out the alone time from what i gather from this it is only a matter of time before it goes further.

That's a difficult one... but I'm with Siren, the signs are there. You can ignore them if you'd like, but eventually....

IMO, just keep taking it slow and have a good time, and be ready to WALK AWAY when the time comes.

Good luck!

Wish I could follow my own damn advice (the walking away part....)

This is the litmus test I use....would you be hurt if your man was doing what you are doing with this guy with another woman? If you would feel no type of way about it then no problem... if so then you have a decision to make.

Sounds like a much older man! I'd say mid 40's? I could be wrong. But most older men love to have younger beautiful women in their company most times w/o intimacy! At least longer than the younger ones.

Because he's married I'd have to say it is a mistake that has already happened, but you've known him for a while now. Older men I don't feel comfortable around because they give you worms, but if your enjoying yourself, especially on his boat and it's summertime, HAVE FUN! Invite your girls and go cruising! Use all the networking to your advantage if you can.

What do you want to happen? Would you like him to make a physical pass at you? If so, just go for it! Are you the hold up or is he?

I really don't think there is an obvious “don’t do it” answer here because sex is not a part of the equation and he's connecting you to his resources.

So, is it true men and women can't be friends?

@ Savannah, Chica how'd you know???? 10 years older. I was going to add that but decided to take it out.

We CAN be friends, but if one of the parties is not interested in a platonic relationship, then disaster strikes....

Normally not married ones, unless the wife knows about you!

@ Siren My boyfriend has tons of female friends.

And, I personally go by the notion that it's all fair game when you are dating. We're not married so I'm not going to cheat myself by acting like it.

If most of these men cheat anyway then why are we wasting our time here? If I can't just go with the flow when I'm with someone rather serious or not then I don't need to be with him. Relationships are hard enough so I don't think I should have t...

IDK what's wrong with these people and their beliefs this is just crazy. Reminds me of them thinking that having sex with young girls cures them of aids. That mentality is definitely from the dark ages. SMMFH

Great post OG! I especially love the last paragraph. That's not just when you're trying to get to the next level with a baller, but with any men. If you are reaching just to get him to be exclusive to you, you are failing.
