One hug later, he has not shown any interest in me!
One hug later, he has not shown any interest in me!
Dear Diana,
He joined our office a year ago and showed an interest in me. I like him too but would always tell him that we're both married (to other people) and that we should not have these kind of feelings. He told me there was nothing wrong and that we wouldn't be cheating on our partners. But he only wanted to hug me once and after much ado, I let him. After that, he has not shown any interest in me but I like him nevertheless and am unable to forget him. I want to have a good relationship with him (though, not physical). Why doesn't he understand this?

Dear Friend,
You seem to be confused about your feelings for this colleague. You're clearly enjoying the attention, but don't want it to turn into anything lasting. Also, since the two of you are married (to others), it would only complicate things were this relationship to go any further. If one hug was all it took for him to get over you, what does that say about him or his 'feelings' for you? If you are unable to forget him, it's only because he's playing hard to get. You might be clear about wanting a platonic though emotional relationship with this guy. He might not want the same thing. Have you given thought to that?
Is watching porn and masturbating, a sin?
Dear Diana,
I am a bit confused. Is watching porn and masturbating a sin? Please let me know.
