		<description>Rae: I don&#039;t normally comment in my own comments, but I have to reply here after such an epic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember that you are a passionate, intense Scorpio. Also modest, actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid absolutism therefore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds like you need hugs and kisses and love declarations right now. Why should you not have them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends: I don&#039;t have a problem with that. Friendships move through phases. Why not physical/emotional intimacy? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are allowed to find out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should you initiate something romantic/sexual with THIS ONE? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It depends on whether you think he is &quot;the one&quot;. Is it immoral or wrong to enter a relationship knowing it may not be forever? No, but just don&#039;t kid anyone. If you know that he probably isn&#039;t &quot;the one&quot; but you still think him deserving of your love and attention, and fancy his, what is wrong with that? Just don&#039;t project and make out he is who he isn&#039;t, and you may not then be disappointed when the love affair runs it&#039;s course. But you probably will be, in which case, accept it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And does that mean you shouldn&#039;t get involved? Not at all. Just be careful. I am glad that I had relationships that were serious that were not for life, they taught me an awful lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK here&#039;s the anti-advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I visited my (male) friend in intensive care after he fell for a (female) friend, and it didn&#039;t work out, and then smashed himself up in his car, getting away from it all too fast in the rain at night. The tubes emerging from his punctured lung I shall not forget. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the woman could have come from anywhere in his life... I think it was more about HIS NEED to love and be loved. He would have loved a paint can if nothing else was around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look after yourself, I&#039;ve missed you!</description>
