Should Married Folks Make New Friends of the Opposite Sex?
I saw a guy on the train and I noticed that he was noticing me. After a few tentative glances (from my side) and a few tentative glances and smiles (from his side) I smiled at him. Nothing was said, we just smiled. He got off the train two stops before me. [...]
