[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. With all of this talk about age, are you saying that perhaps a man in his 40's may actually have a platonic relationship with a woman? I ask because [b]I am trying to figure out if my 40-something friend sees me as a platonic friend or an emotional affair.[/b] No, we do not go places together much but see each other several times a week in the course of events and talk every day.[/quote]

43 DH here.  If you're not going places together or even making overt attempts to see him, I don't think it qualifies.  However, if you're calling each other a couple times a day to chat, it may be headed down that path.  I don't think its cheating [b]yet[/b] but it can be a slippery slope, depending on what kind of emotional relationship the two of you develop.  Does that make any sense?  If this 40ish guy is married, he may be getting a bit of a thrill hanging out and chatting with a younger, attractive woman.  And that in and of itself is not necessarily bad, especially if you work together and have other "office friends" around.

But in the OP's case, she has a BF who lives out of town and she is considering developing a non-sexual relationship to meet emotional needs her BF cannot provide because he's not around.  Maybe I'm splitting hairs but there's a difference between the two for me.[/quote]

Who said the guy was 40?! He's definitely in his 20s. [/quote]

Read much?[/quote]
