I slept with my best friend last night

[AVirginLitTheCandle]

and now I have no idea what to do

We haven't spoke to each other since last night as we've both been working today but I'm not sure if I should contact him first or should I wait for him to contact me?

I don't know what he thinks about it and whether he thinks it meant something or it was just a casual one night stand. I'm not even sure I know tbh

Should I mention this to him or just forget it ever happened and continue on as normal?

Was alcohol involved?

Being best friends is the best basis for a relationship. It could be awkward if you don't want that though?

Whoever said "So the spark was there?" is a comic genius .

Yes, send him a text - "Round or square?" and when he says, "What?" say "The wedding cake, of course!"

Tell him the truth don't hide it I think he may feel the same and if he doesnt you surely cannot stay friends now ? AWKS!

Don't play, don't text him, let him chase you games. Presumably you're both adults.

If it were me, I think I'd text something like, "Hey you. So... didn't see that one coming. Probably need to clear the air about it. or something. You up for a drink/chat later?"

Because, unless he's a complete dick, he'll be having similar thoughts to you. He'll be wondering how to broach it with you and whether you're regretting it etc.

That's what I'd do.

Disclaimer: but I am single and shit at relationships so you might not want to listen to me...

Go with Imperial's engaged message. It's funny and it leaves it open for him to say he wants more if he does.

How did you end up in bed?

Unless shagged outside by a tree /sofa etc 😂

Was there lots of booze? Were you bith sober?

Following for the love story. Not helpful I know

I think LittleTripToHeaven hits the right note with her suggestion, although I'm newly separated and haven't dated or slept with someone new for over 20 years so possibly not the best placed to advise either!

Sounds promising though...

Just drop him a line OP and ask the question

You'll never know otherwise

Life is far too short

How about something cute like texting hey, need to tell my best friend about something that happened last night - you around later to catch up?

Hope it works out how you want.

Don't text him. Let him chase you

^please don't do this.

How did it happen OP? We need details. Lots of lovely details.

Text or call him!

I'm dating my best friend. Early days but it's so much fun. The only problem is he knows me REALLY REALLY well so I can't bullshit,

We weren't drunk, no. Well perhaps I was a bit tipsy and giggly after my one glass of wine (complete lightweight ) but I certainly wasn't out of it and he wasn't drunk either.

He did say that he'd been waiting for this for a long time but still not sure if he just meant waiting for a long time just to shag me.

Off to text him now.

Another vote for one of Imperial's ideas. I think what LittleTripToHeaven suggested sounds quite negative somehow and might make him think you regret spending the night with him.

I really like what Jmangel wrote as well!

Ooh good luck sounds so exciting! I married my best friend a few years after a similar situation - best thing ever!

Oh my goodness I'm biting my nails. Well done on texting!

Ohh good luck op X

How long have you been best friends??? Being best friends is the best basis for a relationship however sometimes you don't always see them that way normally because you don't fancy them. So do you fancy him or see him in that way??

I'd just send him "Well that was new"

Good luck 🍀

Good luck OP.

He said he was waiting for a long time...

He really likes you - ah this is great !
