When I have strong feelings for a woman I want to tear her clothes off, throw her to the ground, and have my wicked way until we were both spent. Would that be constituted as having too strong-er feelings? Being friends with someone whom you carry such feelings for and being unable to express it to her, feels like unfinished business! Twenty something years ago I had such an encounter with a lady I had fancied for months, she was in a relationship with a straight decent guy, this particular evening he was seeing his ex whilst I shared the back seat of someones car with her. I gave her a kiss and then stopped. I felt that to go any further I would have to make a take over bid and take her home and be prepared to marry her. I believed at that time her guy would have made a better life partner for her, than myself so I let her go. In retrospect I regretted my decision, so the moral of this story don't be like me, grab it with both hands and give it a go, before you turn round you will have 'if only's' cluttering up your old age.
