4. I became close friends with a hobbiest - I became close friends with a hobbiest who is married, both in and out of the hobby. Our flirtatious banter and my frequent trips to his city left the impression on his Hobby SO that there is/was something more. He is a great friend and a pal. People, inclusive of his Hobby SO, think there is something more between us and that I visit just to see him, but in reality, we haven't seen each other bcd in a LONG, LONG time. Our friendship has only helped my busines though.
Gato, I'm going to answer your question with another question... could it be easier to blame the "friend" who has become close to the provider rather than just give credit where it was due?
In all scenarios above, I take full blame for my decisions to bolster the relationships with the people involved and if I lost any business, it was my fault for not keeping the fascade that it was always strictly business.

The impression you "think" you may have left is nothing short of how ignorant I think of you for posting "business" of others well known here.
Why you create this for yourself and others is unbeknownst to me.
Now, several know of my relationship with my Hobby SO.
I won't lie, because I do think it has affected my business somewhat when I travel ... south...but its okay...he makes up for it.
I am not worried if he hobbies from this day on.... because.....
"This is called the HOBBY, hobby's are supposed to be FUN...if you're not having FUN, find a new HOBBY!"
He and I have a special connection, so I know where I stand and am very, very confident in my place is with him.
No worries what so ever.
He understands me as well as I do him and we are cool like that.
He has a whole other life as well as myself but together "we" have a great hobby life together.
Where ever this path takes us will be interesting but I have a very good friend/man whom I am fortunate to have like no other does...
