I see an "emotional affair" as extremely easy to define to ones self...but very difficult to define externally. Do you find yourself physically attracted to this friend? Is there un underlying desire for intimacy within the relationship the two of you share?
Regardless of actually acting on the inpulses created by the interaction, if I feel a "Want", to taste a friends love, then it can be considered an emotional affair in my own mind. The label is somewhat misleading however, as affair carries negative connotations that I dont feel match such a natural reaction to attraction.
Likely everyone feels something of desire in a dual sex friendship...If they dont there is probably something wrong.
