Knowing someone for 10 years then deciding to see where things go. Is it a good idea?

[Anonymous]

So Iv known this guy for 10 years. We get on really well have a tiny bit of a flirt but we’ve always been very professional as we work together sometimes. We recently spent a week together on holiday with some friends and since we’ve come back things have really changed we are constantly text flirting, cute stuff and some sexual stuff. He said he would love to see where things go and thinks his mum would love me if I ever meet her one day stuff like that. We’re planning on meeting up soon just the two of us and then after that we’re going out with a group of friends.
Would it be wrong of me to sleep with him? I have said I’m nervous about things now changing between us as I wouldn’t want anything to affect our friendship and he said it won’t if we don’t let it.

Women frequently say they want to become friends first and then develop a romance. Then they have an opportunity to develop a romance wth an established friend and they want to back off because they don't want to risk losing the friendship. Do you see how this hypocrisy makes guys frustrated with women?

This guy could be The One for you. You've gotta take a chance if you wanna find romance!

Y'all gotta slow down with getting into bed so soon. Why rush? And it doesn't matter what he says, you can never go back to "just friends" after an experience like that. Think about it!!! Having such a deeply intimate experience isn't something you just do with friends. You don't call him up the next day and be like "Hey that was great. We should do it again sometime." You're relationship has already changed. The plutonic friendship is fizzling away as the intimate chemistry is boiling. If you think it actually has potential, go for it. But just know that if you two break up, you're relationship won't be the same as before.

All I can say is I may be a lucky one but I’ve known my current partner since early middle school we are now happily together for over two years we were nothing but friends before and the spark naturally came to us when we reconnected after some years and we moved pretty quickly , the best decision I have ever made and I wouldn’t change a thing if it feels right that is all that should matter go with the flow

It sounds like you have a good foundation to stand on. I'd give it a try.

[Summeroflove]

Well. You never know unless you try.

Why not, Work Husband is waiting...

[slatyb]

It sounds like you are quite compatible. People often find partners at work. Could you both handle it professionally if it didn't work out?

[FilmGuy93]

Sleeping with him probably isn’t the best idea just yet, just because people change so much when you become romantic. But you should definitely look into exploring a relationship with him

I’d normally say no but why not YOLO
