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

Medication tells us more.

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. :]

the bright side is you can become friends with benefits. it's not the end of the world, you will be fine. Good luck.

Your "one thing led to another" mustn't have been very good. Most guys get shuffled off to the Friend Zone without getting an audition. You had your shot and blew it.

This may just be the most logical and honest response thus far...

my best friend and I have been friends for almost 10 years...we're about to celebrate our 2 year anniversary as a couple :) hang in there op she'll come to her senses.

Dude! Seriously. Op, its wat it is. Deal with it

@ #72, would you have sex with someone you weren't interested in?

Damn, aint that a feeling. Just start acting you don't give a shit about her anymore! But stick to it, in the end it will be worth it whether you two get together or part ways, guaranteed.

friend zone is a place made up by so called nice guys when they get rejected after using a girl for friendship when they only wanted sex.

Not just sex. Usually it's because the guy has a romantic interest. Often the friend-zone complaints stem from the concept that someone "owes" you romantic attraction if you're a nice person who respects her, which is a pretty shitty way of thinking. I mean, it makes a good impression, but not necessarily in the attraction sense. You can't make someone like you if she clearly doesn't.

#86, thank you for saying what I meant to say, far more eloquently than I managed!

it's funny how girls keep saying friends zone when they are the ones doing it.
