in dire straits: hex 57>17

[eaza]

Hello everyone & bless ...Pls help me with interpreting this mess.
I'm in a long-term comfortable relationship but have recently met someone new ( he's single) who's quietly but powerfully caught my attention ... we move in the same circles are hang out together often as part of a group.
I haven't told a soul but detect that there's a mutual attraction here.
I have asked the I ching what I should do about this attraction I feel.
The answer I've received is 52 Keeping Still with all lines changing except for line 2, leading to hex 17 Following. Hex 52 makes sense but the changing lines and the resulting hexagram baffle me a bit.

Any thoughts or insight that might help?

many thanks.........

Don't allow your mind to go beyond actual facts.

your answer is almost as cryptic as the hexagram
or not ....
i think you're telling me to stop indulging my flights of fancy but stay grounded in reality...
well, you're right so thank you !

I agree with the idea that you need to 'keep your head where your feet are".The I Ching isn't saying much about you and he--because you probably don'tknow him that well yet--there could be many things that don't work for you, and of course, theres the relationship you're in now.Though with all those changing lines, I'd think that the situation is already changing.17 would mean to follow your heart and true beliefs, but not necessarily the whims of your heart--not yet anyway.LOL And, in 17, when you can do nothing--do nothing.I always found that following what I *most* believe will give me the right answer.So, for instance if I am living with my husband and meet someone really special--I might be tempted.I might even be tempted to end my marriage if he's really great -who knows?.
But if staying faithful is very important to me, if knowing and trusting someone is most important--than I can't indulge the idea of taking it further.Know what I mean?
