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. :]

Alcohol doesn't change your mind, it just lowers your inhibition. She did want you on some level, so there's hope. Tell her it's already moved past friendship for you and it's either give it a shot or not. Don't give her the option of being "just friends". You need to move on either way.

I did that, yeah i dont know what to think now of my friend.....

Friend zoned... with benefits. Not too bad. It happens to the best of us. However, getting some is better than none.

IRT the idea that a "nice guy" feels like the girl "owes" him the chance (like 85), in this particular situation, I feel like OP's love interest already crossed the friendship line. Alcohol doesn't free you from responsibilty for your actions. I think she's the one to blame in this situation for sending mixed signals, not him for feeling like he "deserves" her reciprocation.

Lets take a moment to pray for our friend in the friendzone

These feelings will fade, maybe not as soon as you'd like, but now that you know how she feels about you you can take the first few steps to moving on.

I wouldn't befriend someone anymore who got freaky with me but won't commit to anything else. Sounds like she'd use you until the -next best thing- comes along then leave you around to bitch about her new bfs issues. Too much hassle for someone who won't give you the time of day.

Well, ask another girl out and make her jealous. What a ******* Bitch. She'd lucky to have you
