Once you cross the line from friendship to a physical relationship with your BFF, you may find yourself in uncharted territory. It’s essential to communicate openly and honestly with your friend about your feelings and expectations moving forward. Here are some common scenarios that may occur after sleeping with your BFF:
### Awkwardness:
– Difficulty returning to a platonic friendship
– Uncertainty about how to act around each other
### Feelings of Confusion:
– Mixed emotions about the experience
– Questioning the nature of the relationship
### Relationship Dynamics:
– Shift in the dynamics of the friendship
– Potential jealousy or betrayal from other friends
## How to Navigate Sleeping with Your BFF
If you find yourself in a situation where you’ve slept with your best friend and are unsure how to proceed, here are some tips to help navigate the aftermath:
1. Have an Honest Conversation:
– Discuss your feelings and expectations with your friend

3. Seek Outside Support:

## Conclusion
Sleeping with your best friend can be a complicated and emotional experience. It’s essential to communicate openly with your friend and set clear boundaries to navigate the aftermath successfully.

We were vacationing outside the city for Christmas, there were about 15 of us, and after a lot of drinking a friend kissed me, I liked it and we continued, in the morning we woke up and the first thing I thought was how we would continue to be friends, but we turned it into a joke , now I understand that when I have a boyfriend, I won’t be able to be friends with this friend, it turns out that night made our friendship limited
It was incredibly awkward. He and I both found each other attractive – he’s a hot guy, that’s for sure lol. But getting naked in front of each other and doing those “intimate” things, we just realized we don’t have any chemistry. We didn’t even finish. And we laid in bed together after, totally naked, just talking and laughing about other things. Eventually I got up and got dressed and left and we hugged and agreed we would just be friends and not let that experience change anything.
It brought us closer temporarily but then we both got into relationships and we started considering each other exes, almost. We aren’t close at all anymore. Kinda sad.
Mine was my best friend from work. He had moved departments during the year but our manager invited him to our Christmas outing. He was reluctant to go and it took a lot of persuasion, but he eventually agreed to go and afterwards we hung out just the two of us and I gave him a lift home. After that he was keen to hang out more so every Friday after work we would go grab some food and hang out and then sit in my car talking. Not sure how it happened but on about our 6th outing his hand made its way down my trousers and he told me I couldn’t wear my lacy pants so I obliged and we had sex lol. Ngl I was very nervous that I had ruined the friendship by crossing the boundary but we continued to hang out and eventually we became a couple and have now been together for 6years.
I initially went on one date with my best friend. I ruled him out immediately – a walking red flag. He got out of a relationship like 3-5 days before meeting me. However, our date started at 10am and lasted until 8pm. I didn’t want to date someone who just got out of a relationship and I made that clear and he was fine with it. Somehow we ended up texting regularly and became really, really close. He met my family, I met his etc. This went on for two years. Then we went to a wedding together and ended up sleeping together after. We started dating shortly after and dated for another 2 years. It was clear we made better friends but we both wanted it to work. I eventually broke up with him last year around this time. Funny enough, I bumped into him on the train this morning while I was running late to work. I turned my head and he was on the opposite end of the cart and we both immediately made eye contact and smiled. We got out on the same stop and he said “I know we haven’t dated for almost 10 months but I still remember your morning routine and it looks like you’re running late” 😅 So we kept it short and sweet and went our separate ways. In the end, friends turned into lovers, turned into acquaintances.
Been together for 5 years+ now. And mind you, we talked about feelings and consent first, it wasn’t like heat of the moment. The best thing about us was/is we can talk about anything and everything with each other.
Mid. We are still best friends and don’t really talk about it. We were in both low spots and just needed to scratch an itch plus it was COVID. Never changed a thing between us which I appreciate.
She and I fooled around over the years. Mutual love for each other that was more platonic. But we also both like sex. Every time was hella fun, and we’d spend half the time trying to out-compliment each other (yours tits are amazing! But your ass is perfect!)
It was absolutely mind blowing. Neither of us really saw it coming, we had a few too many and ended up in bed. We have been together ever since and are now happily married. Best drunken decision I’ve ever made.
We didn’t sleep together but we hooked up.. it was awkward and felt like I was hooking up with my brother. I honestly was turned off completely by it. He’s still in love with me and I wish I felt a sexual connect because he truly is my best friend and I love him. Super unfortunate I feel this way.
We could not stop laughing at first.
We’d known each other for years and did basically everything together.
To see each other’s “sexy” faces really tickled us.
The sex itself was fantastic. We already had really good communication skills with each other and there was minimal awkwardness.
We dated for 6 years after that. It was a really great relationship, he was a great guy and the sex never lost its spark. We just weren’t compatible romantically, but we’re still good friends.
Well it was fine, didn’t change our relationship, but unfortunately I told my husband about it when we started dating, thinking he would think it was hot- and he did, but jealousy came hot on its heels and I regret everything.
Ahhh man. It was the best sex I’d ever had. We’d been best friends for 6+ years and always had chemistry. He needed a place to live and moved in and we started sleeping together immediately. We were together a year before he moved away and I ended the relationship. Our friendship had been mostly long distance due to university beforehand, and it’s much easier staying friends long distance but it sucks. It’s hard being friends now that I have a boyfriend. Our friendship is forever changed and it really sucks. I wish we’d never dated. It will always be a bit strange now that he’s an ex and not just my friend. Ugh.
It was mindblowing, I am still with him. He’s my person.
Met mine 30 yrs ago. I was married at the time. We became close as friends but soon parted ways. 28 trs later he found me on FB. We’ve been hanging out a lot and it just happened. I was not moved by it. I think he was really nervous. We are still spending time together but gave not slept together since. We just talked about what we need for the future so we will see.
Been happily married to him for 18 years.
Different in a good way. It was more like satisfying a need in a friendly way. Despite the act itself it wasn’t romantic it was more like an activity or grabbing a bite at lunch. I found many positive aspects like knowing them well and being patient enough for them in their own time. Also he was very inexperienced so it was a good confidence boost.
We dated for four years but ultimately we weren’t compatible in a relationship, and would have worked better staying friends. We haven’t spoken in years. I don’t miss my ex but I miss my friend.
We are married now started as good friends through playing darts for the same pub and used to hang out and chat.My marriage was already on the rocks when we met but it wasn’t until one night my birthday when he handed me a rose shaped napkin that I knew I wanted more.I decided to finally end my marriage Id given my ex so many chances over the last 5 years plus my youngest was 15 and even he was fed up with us fighting constantly.I talked to my friend one night soon after and then we slept together it was amazing and then after a year he moved in my ex husband didn’t want the house.We have been together ten years now he’s still my best friend.He treats me so well never had that before he’s great with my now adult kids.My ex has been through six women since and agrees we should have split up earlier.My life is so much better now am glad I spoke up about how I felt.
He always wanted me for 10 years. In 2020 right before the pandemic we hooked up then did long distance for a bit(he moved to a diff province and I was there visiting). In July 2023 he moved back and instantly came to see me, only lasted about 4-5 months. He gave the bare minimum and that’s being nice, I had enough. Didn’t work out at all and a friendship was ruined from it.
It was great, I fell in love with her. Worst experience ever. She was The best friend anyone ever could have, but just the worst girlfriend
