**in this blog i use "you" as a general term/person.**

i agree with nkotb on the thought that it's not cheating unless you act on it. but, if you are going behind your bf/gf back doing this, while he/she doesn't know what's going on, i think that is the beginning stages of cheating, and has the potential to get worse. i also think that if you care about your bf/gf/(someone without the title, but everyone knows it's the same thing), and do have any romantic intention and think you might act on it, you should think about how your bf/gf would feel if this was happening, and maybe even tell him/her, so that everything is out in the open and nothing is hidden. i don't know the outcome of what would happen after that, but i don't think that that could be considered cheating.
