i know how you feel as long as your both happy being mates and he doesnt want more than you want to give or vice versa

If you want to be more than friends then you need to talk to him about it, otherwise (unless he says anything) it's probably best just to leave it. Are you happy with the way things are or would you rather not be doing stuff like this if you aren't a couple?

we talk all the time about everything + right now we both SEEM to feel the same, when we were kissing last night i was tihnking hmm ke v as my bf would be gr8, but in reality i dunno because if things did mess up then we'd never be the same again, plus i'm going to uni next year (notts - so not v.far away)... :smile:

... then ther's the issue that we have the same friends + bset m8s and they wouldn't liek us 2geva liek that at all, i'm also not over my x (lol gets more complicated) n nor is he so i just don't know! :confused: :confused:

It's jsut liek thae last time we made out was valentines day (oronic i know) + since then nothing had happene duntil last night... :eek:

What are other people;s experiences of thiskinda thing> + how'd it all end?

xxxthnx 4 hlep/advice/comments

I've been in a similar situation and we decided to go out.
A week later it ended. We are in the same classes at college and share the same friends and so it would be very awkward to be together and not annoy our friends. We also have fears of messing up our exams. I don't want to get too attached to somebody before big exams.
We are still really good friends and do sometimes act like we are together but we both know that we aren't together and won't be.
You need to talk about it with him really to be sure on both of your feelings.

Ok I've had experience of it not ending too well, I didn't want a relationship and my friend did. After a while we were ok but we are nowhere near as good friends as we used to be.

The other thing I did which was really stupid was go out with my best friend but keep it a secret from all our other friends. We thought that would make it easier if it didn't work out but actually it had just left neither of us really knowing where we stand with each other and made things really hard work. I definitely don't recommend that route.

thnx i know i do! but theres the thing if we were to get 2gether next year it'd be fine cuz the major issue is our m8s who constantli tease us about being perfect 4 ech other etc!
:confused:

We have talked about it loads, but that's when things between us had stopped happening, (till last night)

he said the other day if we'd gotten 2gever when he 1st kisse dem then we'sd still be together now + he's right, but it would freak out our parents as well,his mums like adopted him n his mum n dad have done the same with me!

It's all F***ED UP! :frown:

This sort of thing always seems like a better idea at the time than on reflection. If you think you're going to run into 'where is this going?' problems then I wouldn't bother.

But if you're just doing what makes you happy, nobody can really argue with that! As long as everyone involved knows the score.

Oh, and re: your friends not "liking" this - bugger them


How is that going to help?!!
Hi! I read this thread and it was just like Oh my god that was me four months ago.

I had been best friends with a guy for absolutely ages, I told him everything and loved him to bits yet couldn't decide whether to go further and be boyfriend/girlfriend or whether this would ruin things.

Obviously I could never say yes you should definitely go for it but I would say that we decided to go for it and have been together now for four months and everything is perfect. I now have the best of both worlds too cos he's still my best friend.

Also you said his parents had adopted you and vice versa. Again this was totally the same with me ... so much so that I have a room in his house now that his parents refer to as mine :tongue:. It really hasn't been a problem and if anything theyre happy cos they kno im with someone I can trust and someone I'm happy and comfortable with


My advice would be go for it but of course it's your decision

What's the problem?

Do you want to be more than friends? Do you want to go all the way with him?

Pretty ambigious post, I don't see much wrong with what's going on...
What do you want from the relationship?
Some people say that the best relationship are better if ya'll are friends before you go out.

"everything except having sex...". Is it just me or does this always sound
"dirtier" than saying you've had sex, or slept with someone? Every time a girl has ever used that expression, sometimes to prove she wasn't being promiscuous, it sounds even worse... It's probably just me.

Yep, you should sort things out with him before letting things get out of control.

Here comes my usual bitter part:
The thing is that these days, us guys can get away with sleeping with a girl and not committing, which of course we do... You need to get a good hold of him and not let yourself get overcome by the whole situation.
what is it with the TSR and sleeping with best mates?!
I must say, i'm starting to get concerned.

sam - how do u mean outter contol???

i'm not "overcome" by the situation at all its jsut werid n i wante dpeople's opinons!
The same kinda of situation happened to me a few years ago. Well kinda~my best friend was a guy and we went to the movies one night and we started cuddiling together and holding hands, well later on I went to kiss him and he was like I can't... A few days later he told me that he wished that he had kissed me and that he wanted a relationship.
Well from my experience I really really say go for it. If you're really good mates and it doesn't work out then u'll just realised thats cos ur only meant 2 b friends and go back to that!

Please let us know how it all goes... I'm really optimistic for u
