I have number of male and female friends who I am close to. The majority are fellow cyclists through the club. One or two in particular are very close friends. These friendships have developed through cycling together and chatting about many different subjects. As you will guess one is a lady. My wife has met them all at different times

Currently I'm off my bike for perhaps six months. Lots of club buddies have visited but this one several times. I thoroughly enjoy her company. We have been walking, out to a pub lunch etc.

Part of me feels a touch guilty about this friendship developing more. I do feel close to this person.

Any views or thoughts?
You can't have too many friends :hugs: but maybe this one feels something for you :wub: dangerous grounds :thumbsdown:

I wouldn't feel guilty about having a friend who is a lady as long as that is all it is going to be, a friendship. As Numbnuts says, you can't have too many friends.

The problem with a friend of the opposite sex is keeping it just as a friendship, if you get too close then it develops into something more and causes grief to those around you, it's a situation that needs careful management.

Maybe she has/knows someone in a similar situation to yourself, but is afraid to ask outright questions for fear of offending you.

Just potted out my Chilli seedlings; a mix of hot and sweet ones.
Hoping for a good crop this year. :sweat:
