I need some advice, or several pieces of advice.
I have a close friend, whom I only see as a friend since he has a girlfriend (who currently lives about three or four states away), and I respect his relationship. After all, I know how difficult it is to have a long-distance relationship and be someone who needs physical contact. The thing is, a little slip-up happened between us a few days ago. Basically, he just rubbed against me a little, but now I feel somewhat anxious and guilty because I don't know how to act around him now, and I'm really not good at pretending in front of others that nothing happened. The problem is that I think he wants to continue having these "little slips" and I'm not sure because I feel like a bitch for participating in the indirect betrayal of his relationship. Also, it makes me anxious to interact with him without feeling uncomfortable, since we technically crossed a line of friendship and I don't know how to act now. I don't know whether to ask him to talk and sort things out, or pretend everything is fine and keep having these flings…
