You sound like you are NOTHING but on the right track though find someone who is a friend.

That sounds right. I do have to maneuver through some minefields set up by various romantic attachments of others which look like a soap opera of sorts. My Philosophy major friend at the University of Nevada, Reno-- Tom-- was quite the playboy and the like and a really good student and fluent in Spanish. He was quite the character often trying to get me in trouble but I would usually just pass on his offered trouble. He tried picking up a married woman with her husband close by in a bar not too far from a brothel. The married woman's husband knifed Tom six times in the back near the heart. Some of these were not all that deep, I gather. Some were.
Tom died from these wounds but was brought back after about six minutes by the paramedics. NOTHING but lucky.
The jury in the resulting attempted murder case found for the jealous husband and Tom lost his fluency in Spanish among other mental abilities.
Anyway, this history makes me very nervous around jealous boyfriends and especially around women who play their romantic rivals off against one another for kicks.
Tom was off chasing and catching a married woman the last I saw him after he asked me to leave when probably one of the most beautiful women I have ever met showed up at his doorstep and came in his apartment while I was checking up on how his recovery was going. I did notice that she had a wedding ring on and was not there for just friendly purposes.
According to my Reno based Facebook friends Tom is still the playboy.
