There is no *typical* male or female, and my experience has not been that at
all. You remind me of those people that have those internet things going on,
spending a lot of time flirting, emailing, sending pics, sharing personal
information etc., but don't consider it to be disrespectful to their
spouses. Sorry, you should save all that energy improving your relationship
at home. Also, you said "she is interested in me, but I don't want to get
involved." That is not a friendship, it's a flirtation and you know it. Save
us from old men/women with visions of grandeur. LOL
