When flirting becomes dangerous

“It was harmless, at least that is what I thought,” says 28-year-old Mary Jane Arinaitwe. “We met at a friend’s party and my boyfriend was out of town. My friend introduced us and we really hit it off. At the end of the night, he asked for my number and honestly, I didn’t see the harm in giving it to him because I assumed he wouldn’t even call. I was wrong. He did. And two weeks later, we were in a hotel room, cheating on my boyfriend. He eventually found texts in my phone and broke up with me. And now, I miss him like crazy and I know it’s all my fault.”
