I'll try to keep this brief. I recently saw a stage play and became instantly, overwhelmingly infatuated with one of the actors. Now I really want to shoot my shot, but I have no idea when or how.

The problem is that he's not based in my state, so for all I know it could be months or even years before he comes back. I also don't want to be weird about it. I can't go to one of his performances in another state and be like, "Hi, I drove six hours so I could see you."

My goal isn't for anything physical to happen. I'm in a relationship, my goal isn't to cheat. I just want to know whether there's any kind of vibe between me and this guy. Like, throw out some flirtatious energy and see if I get any back, or not.

I haven't been taken with someone like this since I was a teenager, so it's difficult to know how to approach it.

Please be a larp
>>
>>34596631
My goal is not to stick my tongue down this guy's throat. I just want to see if I can sense some kind of mutual interest. It's not a sexual thing.
>>
>>34596637
Throwing out some flirtatious energy for the sake of evaluating him as a potential romantic partner is cheating.
>>
>>34596637
Emotional cheating is still cheating. ESPECIALLY flirting with another man is cheating.

Instant dump and heartbreak if I found out my gf was obsessed with another man

Oh, come on. Saying something to someone in a playful or flirtatious tone of voice is not cheating. Yes, I know it's not great that I find someone other than my partner so attractive. I have mixed feelings about it.

>Saying something to someone in a playful or flirtatious tone of voice is not cheating.
Yes it is, that should be for your partner only
>I find someone other than my partner so attractive
This is only cheating if you act on it and in making this thread you clearly have the desire to. You have 3 options
>move on and pretend like this never happened and stay with your partner
>break up and chase the other dude
>cheat

This kind of behaviour is pathetic and the person in question is going to find you very annoying.

I have enough self-awareness not to ACT like someone who's pathetically infatuated.

>>34596706
Yes, I'm aware that I won't be receiving a medal for my pure-heartedness. I don't subscribe to your belief that speaking to someone in a playful or flirtatious tone is cheating.
>>
You got infatuated with this actor because you saw him play a role. You don't actually know what he is like.
>>
>>34596725
Yeah, I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground about that. Actually, when I finally saw what he looked like not covered in makeup, I was surprised by how dorky he looked. Nonetheless, it didn't really sway me. I'm smitten enough that I could probably accept just about anything.
>>
>>34596654
Then why do you want to meet him and see what the vibe is like between the two of you? Be honest with yourself; this is inappropriate.
>>
>>34596717
>I don't subscribe to your belief that speaking to someone in a playful or flirtatious tone is cheating.
Ask your husband what he thinks.
>I don't wanna
Gee, I wonder why.
>>
>>34596735
It's an end in itself. I know we're not going to fall in love and run away together, I'm not completely insane. But I would just like to shoot my shot somehow, to take action of SOME kind.

I suppose I'm also just thirsty for more contact with him, no matter what kind. I'd be rapturously excited if I just had the opportunity to sit and listen to him talk, even about trivial nonsense.

I know it's inappropriate. I don't deny it's inappropriate.
>>
>>34596637
>It's not a sexual thing.
Yes it is.

This is textbook emotional cheating. If you don't believe me, then ask yourself why you aren't willing to tell your boyfriend that you're considering doing this.
>>
>>34596744
Then keep it in the realm of fantasy. Keep it in your pants, anon.
I'd be extremely disappointed if I learned my girlfriend posted a thread like this. I'd consider dumping her over it.
>>
>>34596828
No, it isn't.

>>34596837
It would hurt my feelings if my wife started rhapsodizing to me about how ravishingly attractive she found someone else, regardless of whether or not she'd done anything about it. I think hearing about it would hurt her feelings, probably worse than it would mine if I were in her place.
>>
>>34596744
disgusting, never tell your boyfriend about this

think long and hard about your priorities
>>
>>34597083
Forgive me, I was unaware that you were all such paragons of virtue.
>>
>>34597266
Did you want our advice and opinions or not? This is shitty, anon.
>>
>>34597271
I'm aware that it's problematic. I have mixed feelings about it.

I'm glad to hear your advice (if any) and opinions. At the same time, I have to roll my eyes at anyone who falls into a seizure over the fact that I'm considering speaking to someone in a flirtatious tone.
>>
>>34596604
I’ve said this to enough guys lately to not be a misogynist, go fuck yourself and then rethink your entire decision making process
>>
>>34597278
You should get real with yourself and unmix those feelings. I cant imagine you're actually very attracted to your boyfriend at all if you're so wrapped up in this.
>>
>>34597328
Her boyfriend probably can't satisfy her. If he kept her satisfied this wouldn't be happening.
>>
>>34596744
To me, it's obvious that you want him to seduce and fuck you, but have him take responsibility for it. "It just happened" bro
>>34597351
If your boyfriend can't satisfy you, the right thing to do is to end the relationship rather than to prolong it.
>>
>>34597497
To me, it’s obvious this is written by a guy, maybe as the bf writing his account from the woman’s perspective as a coping mechanism. Women are too socially aware to write this, it’s a step more believable than a woman writing about how she loves big cock and jizz
>>
>>34597543
No, I'm a guy. Haven't claimed otherwise.
>>
>>34597554
That's gay.
>>
>>34597557
Yeah, I'm aware. This guy is something, though.
>>
>>34597558
What is some good gay media you like or media in general? I like Tim Dillon but I’m pretty sure his audience is all straight guys
>>
>>34597561
idk. I'm not gay, certainly not "culturally gay."
>>
>>34596604
>I just want to know whether there's any kind of vibe between me and this guy. Like, throw out some flirtatious energy and see if I get any back, or not.
Sure. Monkey branching. Very common.
>>
>>34597672
>Monkey branching.
I'm not going to run off with some guy just because I thought he looked good in Elizabethan dress. Why blow it out of proportion?
>>
>>34597758
Only because he'll reject you.
>>
>>34597650
You went to a play (gay) and fell in love with a man (gay) and now you’re getting catty with me
>>
Go for it. The fact you like someone else tells you that your current boyfriend is not enough for you.
