Your instinct to send her a little sugar is a good one
[QUOTE=F Scott; 1375567]Gentlemen,
I hope you all remember the saga of me finding an old employee on SA, contacting her as my alter-ego, and indulging in sexy talk and ultimately getting some outstanding naked pictures from her. Well, yesterday I took it one step closer to the edge of the cliff, so to speak, and I'm kind of conflicted.
I contacted her and arranged a "meeting" in the city on the steps of the Art Institute. I told her that we could take a look around inside if she wanted, or go to a nearby Starbucks and talk. The weather here has been unseasonably warm, so I did not feel bad about asking her to stand outside to wait for me. The plan was to drive by until I saw that she was there, then take off and text later saying something had come up. My thinking here was to see if she still looked as hot in person as she did years ago, and maybe get a little thrill out of it in the bargain.
All went off as planned, and I got a visual confirmation that the hotness quotient is still as high as ever, contacted her later with my "excuse", and that was that. [B]except[/B]: I now feel really guilty that I jerked her chain and made her waste time waiting for me when I knew full well that I wasn't going to show up just to add to my personal fantasy script. I guess I am sharing this with the brotherhood with the intent of reminding us all, myself included, that many of these little babies are not masquerading pros, they are real people, with real lives and feelings, and we should do as Lit so wisely counseled,"do no harm" or something like that. I may try and figure out a way to send her a few grains of sugar to assuage my guilt. Or I could wait a few more days until it passes, which I know it will.
Scott[/QUOTE]Maybe a small gift card, if you can get it to her without any trail back to you. Have a random kid leave an envelope at the store with her name on it, then email her to go in.
Considering that she used to work for you, and knows your real name and business, I'd recommend not trying to take things any further.
Hanging up my cleats for a while
Gentlemen,
I truly appreciate all your helpful thoughts, observations and warnings. They have caused me to do a lot of thinking, and I have come to the conclusion that I [I]am[/I] in fact, becoming addicted to dangerous behavior.
Recent events, i.e. the baby walking in on me having dinner with the family, this obsession I have with my former employee, and hitting on the Trader Joe's artist when in all likelihood she lives in my town, show a growing pattern that I feel I just can't ignore. It's almost like I'm trying to get caught, and that would not be good.
Compound this with the reality that my ATF is gone, and I feel I need to take a big step back and recalibrate what I consider to be "normal". Thus I have cancelled my SA profile, and will turn off my burner phone and hide it until I regain a healthy desire to avoid putting myself in risky situations. If I can't resist playing with fire right now, at least I can get rid of all the matches, right?
I will keep an eye on this thread, and still welcome any pm's from my brothers, but I probably will not have much to add, unless an earlier baby story becomes relevant. Thank you all for your help on this. I'm a little sad, but I know I did the right thing.
More than ever, keep up the good work, and don't forget to write!

Scott[/QUOTE]I think this is an excellent idea and it proves that, even though you are physically attracted to other women, you are not going to play Russian Roulette with your families life! I must admit that I was getting concerned about how close things were getting to a potentially catastrophic event/confrontation. There will always be more opportunities once you regain your composure and control over your emotions and desires. I support you 100% and I have no doubt this is the right course for you!
