writes: One of my best male friends is currently in a long-distance relationship, and has been for about two months now. He has a history of infidelity but he insists that this time around, he has changed for good and will remain faithful. I tend to overlook his relationship habits because we've been friends for a long time and he is really a great guy in other aspects. The problem is, lately he's become much more physical and flirtatious with me (I'm a girl, by the way) and whenever I ask him about his girlfriend, he becomes irritated and changes the subject. We've never been anything more than friends in the past, although I know that he has been attracted to me before but nothing came of it.This time around, I'm finding myself attracted to him as well but I don't want to become the "other woman" and also I have issues with his past infidelity and the fact that he currently is in a relationship that he doesn't seem happy to be in. The answer seems obviously to remain simply friends but I'm not sure how we can still be friends when there is an obvious attraction but all this baggage along with it?

Lazy Guy actually couldn't have put it better. You know this guy will hurt you. Why bother?

There once was a mouse, it was sitting on the kitching counter and could see the WHOLE kitchen and all the other mice.
One mouse was sitting on the floor. A cat walked in, it ate the mouse.
Another mouse sat on the chair, the cat jumped up and ate the mouse.
A third mouse was on the table, the cat climbed on and at it.
Then the cat leaped on the kitchen counter, and the first mouse thought "I wonder if we can be friends".
