In love with a friend

In love with a friend ----- From: Desperate - Date: 15 Oct 1997

I met a guy several months ago in real life and we have become very good friends. We have chatted on the chat lines, sent e-mail to each other regularly, talk face-to face, and on the phone. He is married (unhappily) and I was married (unhappily) when we first met but am now seperated. When we chatted on the chat line we would both flirt back and forth and make suggestive remarks but never came right out and said anything about "getting together" romantically until the other day. Then it all came out. We are both interested in "getting together."The problem is however that neither one of us wants to destroy our friendship. He is afraid that if we do get together that it will eventually end our friendship. I however do not think that it will. I think that it could only make it stronger. Would like some feedback on how I can convince him that no matter what happens he will never lose my friendship. Also some feedback on how to get him to agree to "getting together."
