dude what the fuck man, i just realized how absolutely weird it is of me to continuously flirt with my own friend even as a joke. Ive got this massive platonic admiration to this person Ive met, and we're pretty good so far, till they mentioned they have a RS. All this time ive been flirting with them unknowingly of the fact that THEY have a RELATIONSHIP. Ive told them i'd stop flirting 'specially since its not my place to do so, yes why would you flirt with somebody who has a partner jokingly? though for whatever reason, that friend of mine said its perfectly fine? they werent bothered, yet how could you say that when your own partner is unaware of the fact we've been flirting PLATONICALLY as friends, as a joke? Pretty sure there has to be some boundaries spoken here. My friend's alright, but what if his partner isnt? Their partner doesnt even know I exist? And ive come to realize i unfortunately have a massive squish on this friend or ive mistaken it for extreme platonic feeelings???
