No i have not done that before because i always appreciate platonic relationship with no strings attached you gain more from it than spoiling it with the wrong notion of intimate relationship

I think if there are romantic feelings between friends you can't really do anything besides be romantic or otherwise the friendship will naturally dissolve sooner or later, so you aren't really risking losing the friendship since the moment either of you starts dating someone else the friendship usually cannot exist. My husband and I started out as friends. I don't regret taking things farther than friendship at all. Having a good friendship is what keeps us happy together :)

No, I haven't been intimate with a friend. I do have a male friend who is great looking but he also is married so we are just friends. I don't know if our friendship would suffer if we ever got together but don't want to run the risk of finding out. Also, it wouldn't be the proper thing to do to our spouses. I wouldn't have any interest in having an intimate relationship with any female friends. Just not my lifestyle.

No I have never been intimate with a friend - I think most who do either end up falling in love and wonder why they never did sooner or it completely ruins a friendship! x

Hey neelygal. Unfortunately I have been in this predicament before. This guy and I were good friends but we also had feelings for each other. But then we ended up going off doing separate things and being with separate people. Long story short, his gf and my bf weren't too comfortable with us being with each other. So our relationship as friends suffered and no we aren't friends to this day. We both have moved on but he still has feelings for me and says he misses me every now and then. It was a case of him not knowing what he wanted that mostly messed everything up. So I wouldn't advise being intimate with friends. It just ruins everything in my opinion but hey it may work for some people.
