I think that if you give off manic/sexual vibes than your friend could definitely pick up on that and make a sexual move towards you. It does seem like waving alcohol in front of an alcoholic who is on a bender.

Can you avoid certain people or situations when you are manic? That way it won't be as tempting?

That is what I try to do when manic.Stay at home and not drink or go out to bars with friends.

Again I am single and there is no reason for me to do it, I just know I may be making decisions that aren't healthy for me. I think it is a combo of meds and behavior modification.
