Honestly my goal is not to have sex with her

My primary attraction is prepubscents. The only thing that attracts me to her is she still has that lively playful girly charm. She hasn't developed that emotional callus that most adults have which make them seem dead inside.

I did hug her today. It wasn't a romantic hug though. She was sad about something and crying so I hugged her. I wasn't sure about it at first but then she hugged me back.

I'll heed your warning though and tread lightly.
