[quote=Anonymous]We are in our late 30s, both divorced with elementary aged kids. We have been friends for over 15 years, and after our respective divorces (his 5 years ago; mine 3 years ago), became closer friends about two years ago. He lives a 10 hour trip away now (northern British Columbia, I’m in DC). Over the past 6-7 months, we have seen each other 3 times when he has been here for work and the last two times we hooked up. He’s the lid to my pot in bed in every way, easily the best sex of my life. And we have a lot in common as friends, but I can’t see either of us uprooting our kids just to see if there’s more to it.

Here’s the kicker: despite both of us having told each other we don’t want anything more serious, he texts me daily, or at least every other day. Occasionally, like after talking about the fact we don’t want anything more, he withdraws for a week but is then back. I know him well as a friend and we mostly talk about work and life with kids and only flirt a little by text (I discourage it because it makes me more emotionally involved and I don’t want to get attached). My question is: why is he in touch so frequently if he doesn’t actually want anything more? I guess some people just like texting that much? Can I assume he’s texting 5 other women just as frequently? I am being very guarded with him because I think I could really fall for him and don’t want to get burned. I am interested in everyone’s opinion but especially if there’s a guy on this board who has been in a similar situation.
