Met a guy four months ago - it was the first time in years had felt this sort of affection for anyone. I was not sexually attracted to this guy but felt an enormous platonic crush.
He called every other day for months and we became friends. Two nights ago he dropped a bombshell when he said he had a lover of 12 years. They have an open relationship. I was so upset by the news that he was committed elsewhere that I suddenly realized I am infatuated/in love/ have a huge crush and seeing him as a friend isn't good as long as I have these feelings - not fair on me and not really honest of me either ....

He hasn't been making a play for me and has been simply friendly

Last night I sent him the following text:

"I have fallen for you and I have been struggling with this for a couple of weeks which maybe isn't a good thing. I would like to be your friend when this passes"

Haven't heard back.
