Yes. Not "I'm in luuuuurve", but stronger than attraction. It was basically a friendship that turned flirty that turned deeper. We had many things to share, from very shallow fun to very deep discussions. He told me things he had never told anyone else, I told him things on that level too. Physical attraction too as dumbly (?) we traded pics. But I wasn't interested in allowing it to develop because I had someone and for various reasons. He wanted more. Sigh. And we were close enough for him to travel to my country, which he basically suggested. Ironically I did meet (real, no more than) friends I met online but I guess he was right, I was kinda frightened of where it would go. From then on I have been more guarded.
Passing it on.
