- I see physical and emotional involvement differently. I have had
- both, and to me they have always been different, although either can
- sometimes lead to the other.

- That would, I suppose, depend on the relationships. If you tell them
- that they are not the only ones, then you shouldn't have to chose. I
- think it also depends on what you are looking for.

- >If one relationship is meant to be, can another develop?
-
- You could also look at it that perhaps the relationship is meant to
- be, but:
- do you know when it is meant to be?
- do you know what it is meant to be?
-
- Having just gotten out of an exclusive relationship after realizing
- that it wasn't what I wanted in a relationship, I have to say:
-
- What's the point in having a cake if you can't eat it?
