The general rule is, as far as I'm aware, if you wouldn't tell your husband that you're doing it, it's cheating.
You probably have to ask yourself if the friendship can last WITHOUT a relationship. What's going to happen if you end up resenting any future boyfriends she has or worse you find yourself thinking about her when you enter a new relationship?
At the moment you sound like each other's back-up plan. If you enter a relationship with her, all of a sudden you have no backup plan - no safety net to catch you if it all turns to crap. I could get lost in metaphors referring to spare wheels but i'm pretty sure get the idea.
I can't really offer anything similar that's involved me but I know people with very successful relationships that have come from long term friendships. What I would say though is that these relationships tend to be with people aged 40+ and usually a second or third marriage. I have no idea what your individual circumstances are.
A quick search for bi-sexual females aged 18-21 gives 44 pages of results. A search for all females gives 2619 pages of results
This would suggest the total number of men pretending to be women on here is closer to 2%
Outline. Without it, it's hard to imagine what you're producing is actually a story and not just a sequence of events.
Of course you shouldn't be a slave to your original outline - the writing process might introduce better ideas and options - but without the framework to hang it off it just seems to me you're asking for trouble tying it all together at the end.
I'm probably more inclined to support Outline because often I don't write my stories from start to finish - I'll often work on later parts or the end before completing the start
So a guy comes on here and asks, purely for academic purposes, women's rating of cyber sex, denying any wish to attract more cyber partners. Two women , including his real world wife come on and start to say how great he is at it.
Excuse me while I adopt "the skunk eye"
I actually find those soft white downy hairs on the small of a girl's back really cute.
Ok, you've found my weird, well done.
Have you ever seen kids blowing out candles? It usually looks like they're trying to douse the flames in spit
It doesn't make me want to have a slice.
I've really enjoyed Elementary. Miller and Liu's interpretation of the characters provides an enjoyable twist to what would otherwise be Yet Another Police Procedural Drama
Of course comparisons with BBC's Sherlock are going to be made. That show's co-creator Mark Gatiss is a proper Holmes fan* and that is clearly evident in the level of detail and reference; borrowing heavily from the original stories. Great for fans of Holmes but somehow I think it's held back by a need to remain true to the original character. This is where Elementary, for me, allows more people to the party.
Both of them are far more in spirit with Holmes than Guy Ritchie's film version.

If men WANT to be deadbeats and they're not told it's unacceptable, they WILL be deadbeats. If men WANT to be slobs and you let them, they WILL be slobs. Of course, as freakycactus points out, the same is true of women too.
good grief, Charlie Brown
