Dear Sarah:

Thank you, Happy New Year to you too. I think that what you should not do at this point is to tell your boyfriend about any of this. You may feel like confessing to him so to feel less guilty, but at the most, confessing to him will make you feel better for a short time, but what you tell your boyfriend will stay with him for a long time,  worrying him and maybe planting in him a seed of distrust in you.

So, don’t tell your  boyfriend anything more than you already told him about this man, about him flirting with you, about what he told you, what you told him back, and tell him nothing about liking this man.

If I understand correctly, you are not intimidated by him at this point? The only problem is that you like him too much, am I correct?
