Well here's the thing. I've been best friends with this girl for years now. I've always had thoughts about dating and that... well on Saterday at a party we got kinda drunk and told her how i felt, she felt the same. By the end of the night we were a couple. Now I don't know what it is but it feels really... unatural and wrong. I always feel uncomfortable around her. I don't want to be in the relationship anymore. I don't know what to do :(

Because you started a relationship without the prior dating. You should not have punched the gun and started your "couplism" right away. Because both of you were so used to being friends, switching from really old friends to being a couple in one night usually doesn't go over well at all. You had no courting, you were both drunk, it was just not a good idea.

At least that's my take on it.

I would suggest telling her the truth and going back to being friends as soon as possible, because if you wait too long, it's just going to get harder and harder.

You give the best advice ever! But the thing is all mine and her friends are connected, so It would make my life hell with all the fall outs and things like that.

Don't ask friends out. It never ends up well. But anyway I'd just talk to her about it.

Technically if the feelings are there then the dating stage isn't the reason. I disagree with his advice because you obviously aren't feeling it. For all you know she may feel the same way.

Edit: It's extremely hard to go back to being just friends. You probably lost a friend.

telling a convincing lie when drunk, or even just witholding the truth is a great skill that not many have.

Well not that drunk. We both felt the same for a while and alcohol just gave confidence to tell each other. I'm worried what life would be like at the stage when we break up. I will be hated by a lot of people..

Maybe your just uncomfortable in a relationship? Have you ever been in a relationship before? It's not easy stuff you have to keep your mate interested with conversation, gifts, emotion....

I agree.

Talk it over with her if anything. Give it some time and see what happens, and if you still feel the same way then call it off.

that's the wrong way to think about it. if you really do like her in that way, just act natural. you don't need to force anything. my relationship with the girlfriend didn't really change a whole lot when we went from friends -> romancing. you don't really have to be all soppy and stuff. me and her are just like best mates with added sexytime.

She's in the friend zone. Tell her it's just too awkward.

Or perhaps your idea of a relationship is off? Having been friends for so long, you're already in a deep place, it's going to be different than starting a relationship with anyone else.

It's probably the emotion that you share with her, love. Some people aren't made for it (Me, as well as thousands of other peeps) but nonetheless, if you really like her stay with her, even if you do start puking out your intestines.

Getting drunk can lead to situations that can be tough to get out of. Just look at Mel Gibson....

I think its more along the lines of, your not used to being in relationships, so now you're in one your getting anxious. Remember change isn't always a bad thing, keep it going and im sure you will come to relax.

Use the good ole' "I think we should just be friends" or "I think we should see other people" lines, or explain that you rather be best friends instead of a couple and pray for the best. Try to catch her when shes happy to give her the news :(.

Ah alcohol, how you make life complicated!

Next time I suggest laying off the beverages and actually think through what you are about to say.

But since you're in a bind, just talk to her, no need for anything fancy. It'll be much easier if you just sit down and tell the truth.

I have to agree with the last part. I started something with one of my absolute best friends a while back... a few days into it, I just felt...off... like it wasn't right. I ended it right there, and our friendship shattered. We try to lie to ourselves and act like we're just as good now as we were before it happened, but it's just not the same.

I was good fiends with someone a while ago and we took it one step further. We ended up falling out and I havent spoke to her for nearly a year now. If I could go back Id rather have just stayed friends. Im not saying it always ends like that, but be careful.

Woah...that stinks. Usually best friends make the best lovers. The only thing you can do is be honest with her. Honesty is the best policy.

if they both had feelings for each other then why would it be awkward??? It wouldn't be for me at least, dating.........friends they're both reltionships so i dont see how it's really that different. Only thing that changes really is the physcial aspect and actualy being able to say how much you like the person.

yea, it seems maybe you just thought you liked her, or something like that. Now you can either 1)be a man and talk to her aobut it or 2)be a little wuss and cower in the corner of your own fear. OH and if they're your friends then they will understand if you dump her, you shouldnt be with someone you're not happy with and if they dont understand this you shouldn't be friends period.
