Today, I went home after work with my best friend who I am also secretly in love with. We had a few drinks, were getting touchy, and one thing led to another. Before leaving, I got the courage to ask her out on a real date. Her only reply was, "I don't want to lose such a good friend." FML

I didn't have an account when I posted this, but I'm the OP, and honestly, during our drunken state, I mustered up enough sobriety to prevent things from going too far. I as well, didn't want to ruin things between us by having sex because I respected her too much, and wanted more than that. Was it the right thing to do, or was I just being a dumbass? One commenter was correct in stating that she was confused as to what she really wanted. Either way, we've talked it out, and moved over that. It's better anyways maybe, considering we both work together and I have to go on months long deployments with this girl, haha. :]

I know how that feels OP. Was put through that situation for a year before I decided **** it. I was tired of being played and she wasn't worth the effort anymore.

you deserved it, why wait till you have been drinking to ask such a serious question or even to get touchy and feely, if someone goes out with a friend, they are expecting that if they get high and their judgement is clouded, you are there to look out for them, just the same way they would you, not that when s/he has clouded judgement you drop such a bombshell and take advantage so that they wake up the next day wondering 'what the hell happened' and ud have slept with them - if you are a friend, you should ask them when they arent high, you on the other hand can be high if thats what gives you courage

One thing led to another? So you had sex and she didnt want you to spend money taking her out on a date? WHY ARE YOU UPSET?! That is called friends with benefits! KUDOS!

He's upset because he wants to be more than just her **** buddy. It's pretty obvious from the "in love with" part.

don't give up, OP. I also fell in love with my best friend. Took a while after I began to have feelings for her, but now she's in love with me too.

Well... You could ask about being friends with benefits... That way you get in there, and she keeps her great friend.

That could make things more awkward and complicated than they already are. It's clear he wants something more than just a physical relationship.

And what if you are wrong?

I could be, but that's the way I see it. Considering she doesn't want to lose a good friend.

Just convey to her that you guys current friendship would make a stronger more intimate relationship.If that doesn't work then at least you would still have that close friend.if her position stays the same that is.

Try telling her that you like her too much and it bothers you too much to hang out with her as just friends.
