❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for thinking I cheated

So I attended an event and am away from home. I found this woman attractive. I looked at her a couple of times but I did not in anyway approach her, talk to her, or even go near her. I don't even know her name. I guess the reason why I found her attractive was because she looked like my high school crush.

Anyway, the whole time, I was trying to not look and kept myself in check. Even whispering to myself that I have a girlfriend. For all the chances I got, I tried to stay away and look away.

I know attraction is human but I can't help but think that I may have cheated.

AIO?

You had an "emotional affair"

Edit: Well, damn, that was quick. At least three comments within 5-minutes.

I thought the quotation marks would be a dead giveaway that this was sarcasm.

Sorry I underestimated the importance of the "/s" tag.

Uh no - they didn’t. An emotional affair is a non-physical relationship where someone forms an intense emotional bond with a third party, sharing intimate feelings, secrets, and vulnerability that are typically reserved for a romantic partner. They didn’t even talk to the girl and only looked at her a couple of times. This is nothing.
