Dear Sassy,
I have really enjoyed our meetings, our email, and our joint fantasies.
Over the past couple of days I have been agonizing about where this could lead. Many many attractive paths ahead. But also, for me at least, some scary or dangerous ones as well.
I hate to say this — it is really painful — but I cannot see how I can continue to explore our relationship. I cannot see how this could work.
The “too close” issue is a really major one for me. During the past week I have been looking over my shoulder and around corners to see if we are in proximity. I cannot imagine how I could handle that if we were fully having an affair. With both of us working at the same place, it seems as if the chances of discovery increase enormously, and the consequences of discovery are elevated accordingly.
I really apologize, but I can’t see any way clear ahead. I wish it were otherwise, but my gut tells me don’t go there!
With foregone hugs, kisses, snuggles, gropes, and . . .
T

Re: Apologies
Dear T,
Thank you for your message. I so appreciate you taking the time to explain. You are a class act!
Sadly, your reasoning makes a lot of sense. I mourn the possibilities, while accepting your assessment of the risk. I am so sorry to have caused you any pain. The last thing I want to do is complicate your life in that way. Please relax – you have not seen me in all my years at work, and you won’t run in to me now. It’s tempting to tell you more about where I am to ease your mind, but I value my anonymity too much.
It has been a great pleasure getting to know you! Thank you T. You are such a special, sexy man. Don’t ever forget that. I wish you all the best!
One last hug with groping. *sniff

so let me see if I get this. You are having an anonymous affair with someone you work with. You know him obviously but he has no idea who you are? That's hot and wild
Pretty much… it seemed especially naughty! We didn't get to the sex part. He sent me away just as I was deciding it was okay.
My guess is that he was a “dabbler”….same reason he didn't consummate the AM relationship he had previously….
I wondered about that! I call those charming fellows “chasers” who adore the chase but not catching anyone. Often those guys won't meet at all… the first AM guy (whom I prosaically called #1) talked a great game, then set and blew off a bunch of meetings. I wish they'd mark themselves “cyber only” and roll with it!
Did you ever hear from him again?
Yes.
