Question - (29 September 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 10 October 2008)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have a best friend and she likes girls. She told me she had a crush on a girl and I advised her to tell her and see where it went from there. A couple of days later she told me that she was sexually attracted to me. I'm not sure how to react to this? She wants to take our friendship to a friends with benefits. Wants me to explore things with her. She is a very pretty girl but she's my best friend. Like I'm lost I don't know what to say, how to react, or what she expects from me. She is 20 and I am 19. Any advise ? Thanks.

thatgothgirl20 agony auntWell if you are straight, tell her that you are flattered, but that you just want to remain friends. Introduce her to someone you think is sexier than you. Hang out as a group. Maybe she will fall for her.

Why not give it a try? At the very least you could say that it's something you've tried and decided you didn't like it. Or, is that what concerns you? Are you afraid you might like it? If you decide to go for it, just let her take control, mimick what she does to you, and act like you would if a man were going down on you. It's not much different. Oh, and let us know how things go!

OddOne agony auntALWAYS a horrible thing to hear, whether or not it's homosexual from a best friend.

I wouldn't personally, as I don't like the word "friend's with privileges" and I've had that used on me too many times and it's more a way to use you.

But if you aren't the same as in, homosexual/bisexual, then I think you need to talk to her and tell her that you're straight, and you only want to be her friend. But if you're willing, then I suggest you think things through a little. Would you rather a friendship or "friends with privileges?"
