- There's 'holding' and 'Holding'. Only you know what you mean by 'holding'.
- The holder may think something differently to the held, too! Strikes me
- that you are in some doubt as to whether it was holding or Holding -- bad
- sign; it sounds like you were Holding -- and probably being Held.
-
- (Confused yet folks? ;-))
-
- I really think you are on dodgy ground. It's natural, but it sounds like
- you really have to re-consider whether your current RP is gonna accept
- you playing around -- if you're lucky, she's into open relationships too
- and is having the time of her life as well. :-)
-
- What *would* you think if she was doing the same as you? Could you handle it?

-
- I couldn't handle it. I can only handle one serious relationship at a
- time. Many people might *say* they can handle more (we're excluding family
- relationships concurrent with partners here folks), but in Real Life there
- are problems -- you are always going to get *conflicts of interest*.
-
- That is the real problem.

-
- Of course they *can* develop (unless you're a hopeless romantic), but
- *should* they be alowed to? Surely only if they don't jeapordise the
- other relationships that are important to you?
-
- As for me, I'll just have one please. Zero has its moments though. :-)
