No not romantic at all, none of the senarios I have described invole any kind of romances. The interesting this is that in most places where we could potentially meet (i.e. the supermarket, the mall, ect.) my opinion on boundaries is probably the same as the Therapist (i.e. a brief chat at most) but I guess it is my insistance that there are a very very few number of places where boundaries are completly put aside.
