If you would like to brave the cursed situation of hooking up with someone whose friendship you
value, then read on to look at the bright side of
hooking up with your best friend.
10. He/She Has Definitely Thought About It.
Chances are if you are best friends with a guy,
he has thought about sleeping with you, touching
you in an appropriate manner, and he has even
thought about dating you. There is not a chance
that something like this has not crossed his mind
especially if you are “his type”. Guys gravitate
towards the familiar, and they sure appreciate
the comfort-ability that goes along with having a
girl as a best friend who just might be down with
a friendly hookup. So next time you catch him
randomly looking at you; really think about what
he could be thinking about.
9. Who Knows You Better?
There is a deep bond between best friends, and
that deep bond is not lost when you call
someone of the opposite $ex your best friend.
They know you inside and out and chances are
your conversations have gotten deep over the
years; they may know who your first $exual
encounter was with and they may even know
what your favorite position is. This can translate
into the bedroom, they will know what you like,
what you don’t and why you do or don’t certain
things. This is where that best friend bond can
come in handy; so if you are going to take the
leap of faith, at least use the knowledge you
have of one another to make it unforgettable.
8. If It Back Fires, You Have Other Friends…
Right?
Just like everything else in life, there are high
risks involved when you choose to sleep with
your best friend. It could completely ruin your
friendship and you may never talk to that person
again. There is also the chance that you are
such good friends that if the “friend with benefits
situation” does not work out, you can bounce
back easily into that oh so comfortable friendship
zone. And if that does not work out, well, you
always have other friends, right? Granted it is not
the ideal situation and even if you think your
friendship is strong enough to surpa$$ this
possibility, think again. It happens more often
than not. You may miss each other, but
sometimes there is just no going back.
7. One And Done
There is a good chance that this situation could
be a simple one and done. Now, there are two
kinds of one and done; the first, one and done,
as in never talk to each other again because it is
too much to bare, or the second one and done,
as in it happened and it won’t happen again but
hey, we have managed to still stay cool.
Obviously the latter is what most people hope for
and if you work at it, it can be your outcome.
Just as long as you do not allow the
awkwardness to get too awkward.
6. You Could Be One Of The Few Couples Who
Defy The Odds
As you know, so many things could go wrong
when you hook up with your best friend, but do
not forget that so many things can go so right
(instead of regretting it for the rest if your life,
losing your friend and constantly having that pit
in your stomach that appears every time you
think of them). You can have those lovely
butterflies that make you happy and excited to
be around them, you can build even more
memories once you let your inhibitions fly and
best yet, you can have an even better friendship
as long as there are no hard feelings between
one another. It is not always a negative
outcome.
5. You Are Comfortable Mentally And Physically
Nothing is more awkward than having $ex with
someone for the first time, especially for women;
the whole taking your clothes off thing is one
hell of a nerve wrecker. With a friend it is slightly
different. Yes, there are nerves, but they are
different nerves more like “OMG is this a smart
idea?” as opposed to “will they be turned off by
my body?” They have seen you in a bikini and
chances are, they have seen you in your
underwear (because let’s be real all bets are off
when you are best friends with someone of the
opposite $ex). Mentally, he or she already thinks
you are the coolest person on the planet so that
shouldn’t be a problem for you.
4. If No One Makes It Weird, It’s Totally Cool
Refrain from acting any way out of the ordinary
after the deed is done; even when you start to
catch feels, don’t let them know until you are
100% ready to deal with the consequences. Test
the waters the next couple of days, if you can
hang out like nothing has happened and continue
on with your regular day to day activities, then
chances are this scenario can happen a couple
more times. After all, it is just $ex, right? What is
the worst that can happen if you both know what
you are getting yourselves into? Besides the
obvious, that is.
3. If Nothing Else You Have A Great Awkward
Story To Laugh About Later
As soon as you realize that this scenario is not
for you, it is better to bail and keep the tight
bond of friendship that was there before. The
best part about realizing that you have messed
up is the fun story you have to tell because you
caught your mistake early. If you are lucky to
keep that best friend for years to come, you will
always be able to look back and laugh at the
idea that you two could have been something
more than what you are now. There is a good
chance that both of you will see the situation
differently and laugh about how different you
both interpreted the memorable night.
2. They Already Love You
You do not have to fight, push or vie for their
love or attention because you already have it.
Years of friendship have built you guys up to this
point and it will defiantly be a hard bond to break
if something does not go as planned. However,
there is always that comfort of knowing that your
best friend is your best friend for a reason and
no matter what, they love you on a different level
than they love everyone else. So even if that
love is not a romantic love, it is a love
nonetheless, and it is unconditional.
1. It Could Turn Into A Relationship
If your bond is deep enough and you really want
it to work, this “friend with benefits” situation can
turn into the ultimate relationship. Now, every
relationship has its rough patches, but you are
more likely to get over those quickly due to the
pre-existing friendship that you once had. It may
sound corny but sometimes what you need really
is there right in front of your face, so do not be
so quick to shut your poor friend down if they
propose something that goes beyond the “friend
with benefits” scenario, as you may cut yourself
off from something phenomenal. Can you hear
those wedding bells? http://www.gltrends.com/10-reasons-why-its-okay-to-sleep-with-your-best-friend/ |
