Not sure what to do

Hi everyone.

So next weekend I am going over to see my best friend. I am 45 male and she is 32 female.

We are stopping in a hotel and sharing a bed as we have shared before and really comfy with each other.

I have been through depression, low self esteem and anxiety but coming out of it and she has been a massive help. I am a virgin and she knows about it.

We have always been close and over Xmas she dumped her bf as he slapped her and held a knife to her throat etc. She is sort of in a better place now and says she has blocked him on all form of contacts and not thought about him.

She calls me special and thankful I have always been in her life and have her back. When I last saw her in Dec she offered to take my virginity but I just blushed and said thanks.

Yeh, I do fancy her and wonder if the offer is still on the table. She has been through a lot and I dont want to lose her. She told me she will give me the best valentines ever, but havent asked to what that means.

Any advise?

Thanks.

Buy some condoms and see how things go on the night.

Hope all goes well for you.

Do you think a potential relationship could be on the cards? If no and would just be a one night thing I would say don't do it as would ruin your friendship. Sounds like you are very close so I hope it works out if indeed you do have romantic feelings to each other .

I have a massive crush on her and when I saw her for the first time 6 years ago thought she was the most beautiful lady I have ever seen.

I dont think a relationship would be for the best, but I have never had one or thought about it.

Maybe my love for her as a friend is confusing me.

Hi @mrmr1 sorry i havent been using the pc. we have shared a bed a few times and she called me her best friend and family so decided it wasnt worth it.

Besides she is still fragile after her ex abused her over xmas and not really over it mentally and physically so i will put my feelings to the side to make sure she recovers fully and gets her amazing personality back.

I have not lost anything and feel happier that we have this amazing friendship and bond.

Yes don't go there, you tried but this woman is too far ahead in the game of life.

She's your friend, but personally I would distance yourself from her, she will use you as a support forever if you let her.
Put effort into finding a person you can have an equal relationship with, a love, not just an emotional crutch for this woman.

This isnt a friendship. You're infatuated with her and she loves the attention, that's all I see.
