writes:I am a happily married middle aged man of 47 but I have developed a very enjoyable and good friendship with a 30 year old single woman who lives at home with her parents. She and her Mum and my wife and I have been out together to the cinema and had a nice meal afterwards. I am really attracted to the young woman and often send her text messages and private emails that demonstrate my affection for her. She rareley replies but seems to enjoy the attention and falttery. She openly admits that she thinks my wife would be upset if she knew I was flirting with her but she seems happy to let me carry on texting her - nothing rude , if anything quite romantic but not getting anywhere for me. Is there any future for this relationship to go further or should I be content with just the friendship?

Uncle Andrew is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you for your prompt and sensible answers QuirkLady, Laura1318 and Carrot2000. You have given me the answers I expected to be honest. I love my wife and we have a generally very good and loving and intimate relationship so it must just be me being silly behaving just like a school boy all over again. I guess if I can keep the good friendship that my wife and I have with the mother and daughter then that would be a good result so I should stop teasing the daughter and keep it plutonic.
Thanks again for your wisdom - maybe its time for me to grow up a bit too! AC.xxx

 Not only do you need to respect your marriage, you need to respect this woman by not putting her in a position where she might compromise her relationship with her Mum and your wife.
If she doesn't reply to your texts and emails, she's not interested in what you're proposing. She respects herself and your marriage even if you don't.
