Close family friend - would you?

I’m separated after a long, lonely marriage. I’ve recently been spending more time with a close friend of the family (really close - he’s my brothers best friend, his dad is my godfather, my dad is his, our families spend Christmas together).

Anyway, it’s increasingly apparent that we both fancy the pants off each other but nothing has been said/ happened so far. I don’t want a relationship at all, if anything just a friends with benefits situation and from chatting to him about it (we’re both on Tinder and have been regaling each other with the horror of it all) I think he wants similar.

But I’ve never even thought about him romantically even though I’ve known him my entire life. Also it could make things really awkward as we’re always going to be in each other’s lives. But he really is attractive and lovely and I haven’t had a shag in 3 years. Would you?

Well I shagged him so it’s a bit late for regrets now 😂. Totally worth it.
Good work! 👍

Go for it life's to short he could be your soul mate. X

Oh God, I’ve had enough soul mates for one lifetime. A nice bloke who is a good shag suits me perfectly and I seem to have found that.

Although I’ll probably be back on here in a couple of months crying because I’ve fallen in love with him and he doesn’t want commitment or vice versa. So please don’t say ‘I told you so’ when that happens. Just tell me that he’s a bastard and I’m completely in the right.

Op, it's more likely that he's been in love with you forever and this time next year you'll be planning your big day! X

HandsomeMaid · 31/07/2020 07:35

Ha, I hope not blinkyblinky. There’s been plenty of time over the years when we’ve both been single at the same time but nothing has ever happened. When we talked about it yesterday he said that it’s probably only happened now as the dating pool is so stagnant when you get into your 30’s that we’ve both had to lower our expectations Grin
