Should you ever be a stalker?

So I know this post has nothing to do with God, but it does have to do with morals and relationships.

So here’s the thing, I really like this guy and he has a girlfriend and he was totally flirting with me. So I flirted back. And we would make an awesome couple. But my moral standards say, don’t steal someone’s man because it means that he can be stolen and you are causing harm to someone who doesn’t deserve it. All this to say that knowing all this hasn’t stopped me from Google stalking. And I found his Facebook page, I shouldn’t become his friend right? I don’t think I can become his friend in person or on Facebook. But what if we connected on Linked-in? Is that a problem?

Meanwhile, another man who doesn’t quite interest me as much based on the lack of conversational abilities is single and he calls and he’s cute. So maybe I should spend my energy on someone who actually has expressed interest that can be acted upon.

I feel like I am having one of those moments in a cartoon where you have a devil and angel on either shoulder offering different versions of advice and really I have no interest in listening to either of them. I think the spirit is far more complex than that…no? Things aren’t as simple as this choice is good and this choice is bad, they are merely choices. All choices have consequences. Some of those consequences are going to yield results some of which will make your life easier and others that may make your life more complicated. But really is there a “good” or “bad” here? I am starting to think not. But I will take your advice anyway, even though I think I know what the right answer is. Ok, I know what the right thing to do is… But the fire seems so warm just before it scorches your skin off.
