I'd say there is a line and that he's already crossed it. But that's just me. Looking at Craiglist for women is bad enough by itself if you are in a relationship. Contacting the women is even worse. I'd get out while I still could!
I have a friend who's gf just started to work a few nights a week, he works 9-5. So he told me that he's trolling craigslist at night just to "check it out." He communicates with the women as if he will get with them and then stops replying to emails after talk gets to meeting up. He says he would never meet up with any of them because he loves his girl, etc etc. Where's the line?
He's walking a fine line alright. His girlfriend may indeed feel cheated if she finds out.....sure not in a physical way...but she may be hurt that he seeks the company of other woman on the internet....Not only that ,..he's being a major jerk to the lonely hearts out there seeking someone they are truly hoping to meet up with.

Guys (or Gals) like this are headed for a serious crash and burn when to get the "wandering eye". They forget that all human bodies are built one of two ways...male or female...everthing else is just a fantasy in your head.
Trust is one of the most important building blocks in any relationship. Beach the trust then everything else is..........gone! It just ain't worth it.
So when you get 'the urge" tell your significant other so they can "take care of you" or visit mother thumb and her five daughters. You'll calm down.........

That's not "just thinking about" cheating. That's deliberately searching personal ads to find someone who wants to cheat, leading them on, backing out and then starting the whole process over again with a new person.
That's really not just thinking about it. It's an awful lot of actual doing.
I can imagine this person in three more months going, "I don't know how it happened! I never, never meant for things to go so far. All I did was hunt down the personals online, find women who seemed very attractive and who seemed attracted to me, and engaged in nightly conversation with them, duh. I did NOT mean for us to eventually f * ck. I mean, usually after it gets to that point I stop that association and just start another one."
Oy gavalt.
Now, if the question were really about someone just thinking about cheating -- for example, having a fleeting 30-second fantasy as a cute person walked by -- I'd say, no, you silly thing, that's not cheating.
