No, she's hot and i'm no closet homosexual. If anything I think I have more control than most guys.
Ok I was half joking but what you call control is what people call timid and unassertive -- and we know how girls hate those qualities.

We Have a winnar !
No More Calls, please!!!


good post! Yes, I s'pose i'm a little timid. Years of a comfortable relationship will do this to a man.

ok, I believe she'll spend the night again tonight. We'll see how goes, but now i'm armed with a tad more firepower.

How about another tidbit?

we've done the stripclub thing before and have shared lapdances sitting next to each other. now that was hard

OMFG.
You've watched pron together, gone to stripclubs together, talked about sex, held hands, and slept in the same bed on multiple occasions?????
There are only two possibilities here:
1. She thinks you are gay so she treats you like a girlfriend.
2. She wants you

If she knows you as well as you claim, it sounds like #2 is the correct answer.

lol I have a close female friend, her and one of my best guy friends are also as close. We actually have a very tight knit group of six people (two girls, four guys... eventually to be four girls, four guys, once I get a frickin girlfriend) that's pretty much that open with each other.
 
I sleep with my friends (male and female) in the same bed all the time. It's just practical. It's not awkward or anything, and it's sure as hell better than paying for twice the number of hotel rooms when we go on trips.
 
in the OP's situation, though, it seems a little weird. If it's a choice between either the bed or the floor, then sleeping in the same bed is fine, but if there's a couch, the male should give up his bed to the female and sleep on the couch.

it's just the polite thing to do.
 
Why in the name of God would someone take advice from the people on these forums?

Yeah, but we're a more open minded people. Although the self control is... arguable.

You are adorable.
 
I have to give you props for actually speaking out and not posting "OMFG I SLEPT WITH MY BEST FRIEND WHO WAS MY EX BUT REMAINED A REALLY GOOD FRIEND AND NOW SHE HATES ME"

Honestly, cherish this close friendship... and if you ever get hitched with another gf, sleep with the gf and not with the best friend :beer:
 
its fine..

i've slept on beds with chicks and guys.. but only when there arent any other alternatives... occurs often on trips with my friends. we're all to cheap to get more the one hotel room ;-)

not sure of your situation... you guys are over 25+ there must be some sexual tension between you two.
 
Here's an idea, ask HER how she feels instead of a bunch of clueless nerds.

Life really is that simple, folks

best advice given. sit down with her, talk to her...but without dropping too many hints on how u like her...try to find out if she likes u back. good luck.


one question....how far apart do u 2 sleep when sleeping in the same bed? cuddling? spoon? or on opposite edges of the bed?
 
Wow, this thread has made my day. The only thing that's more funny than the OP is the first page of responses. But I guess that's what you should expect from people who spend hours online.(hours that could be spent in..um.. other ways)

It's a bit weird. Unless you lost your manhood in a freak snapping turtle accident, you're going to have hormones flowing. The only times I have fallen asleep with a female friend in the same bed is after alcohol, and lots of it. Needless to say even if I(or her) wanted to do anything it wouldn't work because we'd have the motor skills of a one legged penguin. :beer:

Here's hoping you haven't fallen into the "friend-trap", but if so welcome to the party. The fact that she's had a lap dance sheds some light on her personality being very outgoing. Some women don't even realize that their actions could be taken for flurtation.

Then again why should I give advice? I'm sitting at a computer and you're sleeping with a hot chick. 😉
