I'm very monogamous and could never cheat on anyone, nor have I ever done so.He's had to go away for a few weeks, and I've really missed him.I went out last night with my girl friends, and ended up meeting up with an old friend - a male friend. We've always gotten on very well and he's helped me out of a fair few scrapes, he's a very decent friend, and quite an affectionate, touchy feeling kind of guy. We always have a bit of harmless banter/flirting whenever we're together, I'd be the same if my boyfriend was there (we have a very trusting relationship, neither of us is jealous or possessive).Last night my friend, as always, was quite flirty, with me but also my friends. I hadn't been drinking but everyone else had been. At the end of the night waiting for my friends to get their coats etc, he cuddled me to keep me warm. Although I don't find him attractive, I did feel attracted to him and a little part of me wanted more.I feel so ashamed and disgusted with myself, why would I feel like this if I love my boyfriend very much, I'm not bored with the relationship at all, nor do I want anyone else. My friends said I was just missing my boyfriend and enjoyed the physical contact of the hug - I do very much miss that with my boyfriend away.Why did I feel that way?

I would have to agree with your friends. Being apart from the one you love most to extremely hard, and its clear that you love your boyfriend. Innocent flirting is not a bad thing, just as long as you know where to draw the line. Nothing can be compared to the touch of your love partner. Just when he gets back you show him how much you have been missing him .

 I think your friends were right. Even though you are in a relationship, even a happy, fulfilled one, your body will still react physically to particular situations once in a while. This doesn't mean that you don't love your boyfriend enough, it just means that you are a healthy young woman.
The important thing is that you did not ACT on your (very small) impulse.
