- Bail. If it's not vital for you and Debbie to become/remain
- intimate *right* *now*, it's not that much trouble to back down and
- wait for things to settle. Sex with friends isn't usually
- something that you have to do right now, it's perfectly reasonable
- to wait. Of course, David will know that the two of you fancy each
- other to death, but it's somewhat reassuring to know that ones
- fears are being paid attention to. (This is also assuming that she
- wishes to keep the relationship going as well. If she doesn't,
- welcome to emotional mayhem, and I'd suggest that you run like a
- rabbit so you won't get caught in the disaster.)
