give them an excuse to flirting shamelessly
Actually, I can flirt sharelessly without falling in love.

I'm not really saying that an "emotional affair" is not a form of "cheating," but I'm just a little perplexed as to how it is to be controlled.

I mean, any other "affair" seems to require a consious, physical behavior (booking a motel room, ordering champaign, or, in some cases, Ice House longnecks, unzipping, unhooking, unrolling.....well, you get the idea).

But an emotional affair is more...instictual. I suppose we simply run away, and stay away from others, or build restrictive walls around ourselves to guard against having any deep emotional feeling for anyone but our significant other. To me at least, this behavior is more unnatural than "flirting shamelessly."

But, this behavior can probably be excused as some sort of syndrom or disorder with root causes from my lonely childhood, so I suppose I'll take no responsibility for it until I can be properly medicated! :P :roll:
