We met in college. She was attractive and I wanted to date, but she kept me at arm’s length. When she told me that she liked dating married men because it was “safer” I cooled to a friendship. Then I met my future wife. When I told my classmate about my serious relationship, she came on to me like I was the last man on earth.

Aftermath: I have been married for 32 years and this is the first time I have thought about her in a long time.
