thank you for sharing.
what a love triangle for your friend.
your strong, independent, something different form his partner, and than to top it off the two of you have a lot in common.
he must of had these feelings for you for a long time and took the opportunity to kiss you.
he's just as confussed as you are, he wants a relationship with you, but doesn't want to hurt his partner.
i think it's good that you left for home, just to take the time to think things thru.
my gut feeling is telling me that soon he will contact you.
it's best the two of you are not friends, but it would be better if the two of you were a couple.
