Would you concider it cheating if you boyfriend was doing the same thing? If you are unable to tell the current boyfriend about the other relationship/friendship, it cheating.
Good Luck!

I define it like this: if you don't want to tell your boyfriend about it, and you don't feel you can be honest about it, then it is most definitely not right. If it is cheating or not, most people would say "no it isnt". Going behind his back... maybe. Innocent - probably. But if you feel the need to hide it you should probably stop because something in you is already telling you it is wrong.
The relationship cops might not be out to get you, but you can end up with a really bad consciousness.

I think you have to ask yourself why it is that you feel the need to ask this question.
If you really are intent on not meeting up with your friend of 18 months then that is all well and good, but you are still flirting with him!!
Flirting isn't always cheating, but there is a very fine line.
I would consider nipping this in the bud now, before it has further chance to bloom, and concentrate on your boyfriend.
Good luck!
