It's good that you are concerned. I would suggest not getting three bottles of wine in with someone who is spilling their guts about a personal issue. It may have been a time to make clear that you really can't offer therapy but are willing to listen as a friend.
I did my best. We both acknowledged when I fell into therapy mode and laughed about it. I have no designs upon this women in a romantic sense. We did not hop in the sack or anything of that nature. Sure, she is attractive, and I am not spectacularly ugly either. But that was in no way any influence on either of us.
It simply is not about that kind of thing. She is a saint, a solid friend and so on. I am not seeking to explore her panties. Nor vice versa.
I made the cardinal sin. I told her what she ought to do. I do not know how that will turn out, or whether I was right or wrong.
Sometime, I hope she will find her Prince Charming. Whoever that might be. But it ain't me. I will always remain her close friend. But there it ends. We both know that if we shacked up somehow, murder would occur. Not happening.
I guess if she follows my advice, we will find out tomorrow. She will either follow it or not. I just do not know if it was right.
