YOU NAILED IT. I never came here for dating and honestly didn't think that would be a temptation, but damn, it was. And an emotional affair followed and then a friendship with a man that started to veer into sexual territory and...ended disastrously.

I've come to the conclusion that my initial instincts were correct: DO NOT DATE HERE. Do not date where you consistently share personal information. It makes people think they have fallen in love and really, everything they love about you is a projection. As you said, that's fine and normal, but it's not REAL and it's no way to start a relationship. Not one that I want, anyways.
