[QUOTE]Originally posted by techie: [QB] A very close male friend of mine recently admitted he has feelings for me. I told him how I honestly feel, which is that for me, I find him physically attractive, and we're good friends, but there's nothing fond/romantic there, so I'd never be able to be in a traditional relationship with him, because a traditional relationship is the only context within he'd want to be physical. So this isn't a case of I-like-someone-else-but-I'm-taken. Boyfriend aside, we both know it couldn't work between us. Not-boyfriend aside, I have a boyfriend. I love him dearly. Considering that neither of us are choosing to act on our mutual physical attraction and his deeper feeling, there's no risk of infidelity here or anything. Need I tell my boyfriend? I feel like if I didn't,it would be a lie of omission, but on the other hand, I can't really see where it would benefit him to know that one of my friends likes me, he knows I'm in a relationship and am not interested, and we will pursue it no further. Is this the sort of thing I ought to tell or is it irrelevant? [/QB][/QUOTE]
