There is this girl I know. We've become very good friends. In fact, she is my best girl friend.

She just broke up with her boyfriend and is looking for some "male attention". I am single as well. I've been thinking about trying to put a move on her. It's weird though, up until a few days ago I never even looked at her in a sexual way because she's my buddy. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten laid in a month or so?

I could totally be down for a friends with benefits fling until either of us finds a significant other. But, I absolutely don't want to destroy our friendship. That would suck.

Not sure what to do here...

friends with benefits will ruin a friendship. Don't do it.

But I don't always think that making a move on a friend is a bad idea, if you were in love with her, it would be worth it to take the chance of ruining the friendship. But you aren't, so find another girl to get it on with.

Buy her a stick of that "mood lipstick" from the other thread. If her lips turn crimson when she's around you, make your move!

Do you think she has any interest in you outside of friendship? It's a tough call. On one hand you don't want to be the rebound guy and lose a friend in the process, but on the other hand it may just turn into something fun for the both of you.

I'm not in love with her at all and would never be. We just get along really well, she is decent looking, and we're both horny.

I truly don't know. She says I'm cute all of the time, but that could be just her giving me compliments as a friend. While drunk the other day she did ask, "Do you think I'm attractive" in a weird and shy kind of way. Not sure what that was all about.

Exactly. The whole thing is fraught with peril.

Well, take it one day at a time and if she gives you an opening, take it, but don't try to push it in that direction. I guess what I'm saying is, follow her lead on this one.

i think if you have serious sexual tension that exists between you and your "friends", then yes this tension is occasionally convertible into something more fun.

but if you don't, if y'all act like "buddies", then i don't feel so good about your odds.

I wouldn`t take a chance of ruining a good friendship!

You're not looking at her in any way other than possibly a "friends with benefits" fling and, when she was drunk, she gave you food for thought in that direction. Back off.

Good friends of the opposite sex are hard to find. Better to preserve and maintain that relationship than ruin it with a hormonal-induced fling which would, given the odds, ultimately end with both of you being very uncomfortable and losing the mutual friendship. Good luck!
