Can a friendship between a man and woman go back to normal after getting temporarily physically intimate?

[Anonymous]

If a man and a woman who are friends decide to kiss or cuddle or hold each other but nothing more than that can they put it behind them and return to a normal friendship as if nothing happened?

Negative it will never be the same but it can also depend on how it comes to and end and most relationships end on a bad note which is why your leaving said person so not a good look either way and neither one of the opposite sex’s wants a friend around that you boned it just makes for uncomfortable conversations.

Depends on the two people and if both agree it didn’t work. Or it did.

If one catches feelings and the other doesn’t? It won’t survive.

Tbh sometimes something as small as a romantic walk or petting can gun up the works of a friendship bc you can feel that one or both of you have caught feelings.

I can't help loving men who I'm intimate with 😭

Possibly, but it requires a lot of trust and maturity between both partners. It can, but also depends on the people.

It can and it often does but it helps if you are not weak, immature and insecure.

Even if you don't do anything else for whatever reason that kiss, cuddle, or whatever else happened. The friendship may not change that much, but that act slightly altered the friendship.

Of course it can, but most are not mature enough for that to happen.

Maybe it's possible if they try hard enough.
