writes:Bit of a strange question. Recently, my best friend, who is a guy admitted he was in love with me. We have always had an amazingly intimate and close friendship and I think deep down I have always been in love with him too. He left me a letter basically explaining how he felt and how these last couple of months he had started to fall in love with me. I told him I felt the same but would like us just to be cool about things and not to feel that now we're both admitted we're in love with eachother, we don't have to immedeately rush in to a full blown relationship. He said this was fine and he's invited me around to his house tomorrow night like he usually does. I know we are going to kiss. We've come close a few times but stopped because we were "just friends" and didnt want to harm the friendship. But now we both want to be together and I have a gut feeling we are going to end up sleeping together, thing is though, I'm totally nervous. I'm not usually nervous when I'm with guys and usually take quite a dominant role, but this itme I just feel really shy and nervous about it all. He's seen me naked before, and we've shared a bed before (nothing sexual happened) - so I don't think it's anything like that which I'm nervous off. What can I do to stop the nerves? I really just want to let myself go with him tomorrow night and have a nice time.

 Hi, what a lovely story! I've got good news and bad news for you. Bear with me, while I spell it out here.
The bad news is, you're not going to be able to stop your nerves. You will be feeling fluttery and worried and scared and happy and excited the whole time. That is the sad (and HAPPY) truth! You've both expressed your feelings for each other and oh, I so wish I was in exactly the same place you are now, so I could relive those feelings for my best friend, who is now my husband, too! Treasure these moments, because you will always look back on them with awe and wonder. They are precious moments, seriously, they are the best thing.
The good news, well, I think you've waited for this long enough now. He's seen you in your bare naked state, and likes it, I'm sure. He's seen you in your good days and also in your bad days, when you are feeling crappy and unhappy and you are not at your best. This is the best thing, you being friends first, and knowing each other on a level not based on superficial basis; you are already connected by your minds and spirit.
So don't worry about your nerves, they are going to be there, just relax, enjoy being with your best friend. And know that this is going to be one of those fuzzy memories later, you won't remember all the fine details I think, but you will remember the connection and the love you two share.
I am so jealous of you at this moment, I want to relive my first night with my best friend, now my husband, just based on your post.
Go have fun, relax, and treasure each moment. All the best, you lucky girl.

If he really loves you and respects your wishes, then do not go through with it until you are fully ready because he may think it is only a booty call. LOL. If you want to stop being nervous, say an affirmation, I mean say what sexual attributes that you may or may not possessed. That is my opinion.

 I think that you should take a chance with him and let yourself go. Embrace the first kiss, i think that the first kiss makes the relationship. My best friend that was a guy told me he was in love with me after being friends for 5 yrs.. i told him i thought we were to good of friends to ruin it, well hes married now, and i regret every day not taking that chance. Good luck! and just relax and let it happen!

The feeling of anticipation, it's a tough feeling to get when you've been through too many relationships (for me personally), so when I do feel it, I savour it. You'll feel tense leading up to the time you see him, but I think you'll help each other relax as soon as you get there. He might be as nervous as you are, who knows. Enjoy the moment tomorrow :)

Maybe you're nervous because you're truly in love with him and you want it to be perfect.
Are you sure you're ready to make the next move? If you are then let it happen naturally, dont be nervous, he loves you and will probably be feeling the same as you are.
Let go of negative feelings and do what you feel you want to do. All it starts with is a kiss.
Good luck
