Do girls sleep with their best male friends to save the friendship?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I was just wondering - do girls sleep with their best male friends to save the friendship? I'm thinking of a scenario in which the male friend likes the girl and asks her out. When he gets rejected, he starts ignoring the girl. Then the girl starts sleeping with the male friend in order to save friendship? If you are a girl, would you do this? Or guys, do you have anyone that has actually experienced this? If so, has it ever turned into a relationship or was it just a casual thing?

I suppose it can happen. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't sleep with a guy to save a relationship. You either want to be my friend or you don't. Only a wack low self esteem girl would do this. I've had guys I thought were my friends ask me out and then when I rejected them they ignored me. All that tells me is sex was what they really wanted and since they couldn't get it they didn't like me as a person anyway. No I would not pity f*** anyone or sleep with a guy just to keep him in my life. That's not a real friend.

Some guys fine it hard to still be friends with a girl they truly like. Believe it or not, watching the girl you love date other guys hurts. it also becomes very awkward talking to the girl after getting rejected.

most guys don't befriend girls that they don't want to date or sleep with. that's why I don't think guys and girls can be true friends. I have male acquaintances, but not really a guy I would call a platonic true friend unless he is gay.

This sounds like some dude advice from another 'recent' question about bestie and relationships. This is stupid. No worthy girl would do that. Only sluts and men who think they can get a pity f*** actually think this is a viable scenario. In reality, the relationship would fracture even more because of jealously and other hurt emotions.

No.

If he wants to be immature and ignore me, then he wasn't a good friend to begin with. I'm certainly not going to try to"win" his friendship back if he wants to act that way, and I certainly wouldn't do it with sex.

Secondly, I see having sex with him as leading him on.

Sounds like you're trying to work up the courage to ask someone out or were recently rejected after doing so. If the former, do it already. If the latter, time to find a new gal to chase after.

But seriously, if this happens, I'm positive it's in a very very small percentage of cases (as in statistically negligible).

i agree, if anything you should show that your still friends... I think that once she knows your their after getting rejected it becomes more than sex. Girls think like this "If he doesn't stay friends with me than he only wanted me for my body... so once I told him I wouldn't date him he stopped being my friend'. Being in the friends zone is a terrible thing, most of the time it is impossible to leave it.

I wouldn't sleep with my best friend who's a guy.

That would ruin the friendship.

Even if he asked me out, he knows I look at him like my bro. There's no sexual attraction of any kind between us.

seriously?

thats so f***ed up

not every relationship has to end with sex...there is a reason a best friend is a friend and not a sex buddy!

i would never cross that line!

if the guy truly was a FRIEND he would understand.
