Known my very good friend for nearly 14 years, nothing has ever happened before but then we've never been single at the same time before...

We were pretty drunk but not steaming. I have just come out of a long term relationship (and have one dd) and my ex was verbally/emotionally abusive. I have been single for just a month. My friend didn't take advantage of me or anything, I feel anything but vulnerable, in fact I feel pretty good :)

Plus it was really good, passionate sex that I haven't experienced in quite some time!

I do fancy my friend quite a bit but it is a bit soon and he has a quite a history of relationships amongst our friends, as do I! So I am wary of moving too fast and I also don't want to scare him off. We both knew what we were doing was probably inappropriate but we did it anyway.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? We get on so well and I don't want to risk messing up our friendship but at the same time I think we would be a great couple if we actually got it together. I don't really know how he feels though....

Yeah I'm not going to text him now. For all I know he could have gone home with said other girl :/ she's not really his ex, more his FWB but she is in love with him and he doesn't want anything more. I actually feel a bit sorry for her cos he really has messed her about. I don't want to be the next person he does that to so I am backing well and truly off! If he texts me or anything I will just try and be the friend I always was I think. I think if anything does happen in the future I will just have to take it as it comes.

You have got a lovely memory to keep you warm. Also you have come out of an EA relationship and with that you have a whole new wealth of knowledge to take forward into new relationships (I speak from experience) that in itself is an amazing thing. I wish you all the very best.

Stupid fat fingers.. I meant the person who asked why you stayed in it so long.. stupid woman (or man)

Thanks Jupiter :) I know what you mean about coming out of an abusive relationship, its so liberating, I still feel great!

I have decided that my friend has rather too much baggage for me to get involved with as of yet. My hwad will be a much happier place without being messed around and not knowing where I stand. He did text me again today, checking I got back ok last night and stuff. I think we will be friends for a long time Grin
