Straight Friends Hooked Up After Years of Friendship Drama
The Original Post
Okay I have literally no one else to talk to/tell about this. Sorry for grammar. We’ve been friends since kindergarten, we’re both 26 now and we’re both straight. We do everything together and super comfortable with each other, ex. Changing, being in the bathroom when one’s using it just to yap. We’ve kissed a couple times when we were drunk on separate occasions but nothing more. That’s also the most either of us has done with a woman.
Then casual hangout with me, her, friends brother, and mutual friend. We do this all the time if we don’t go out. We make a fire, drink and jam out. We get plastered. Eventually mutual gets uber, brothers inside, and we’re talking about anything everything outside. I don’t remember exactly how but we both agreed that we can both be a man for each other since they don’t know what they’re doing.
Brother went to bed and we just went at it. Took a shower together, made out, went to bed and did the whole thing. I’ve never ever done anything like this. Every single aspect of this is new to me and I really just needed to get it out there. We woke up the next day like it was just another hang out, had breakfast and everything’s been normal since.
I just want peoples reactions. This has just felt like a fever dream.
What Reddit Said
Redditors were quick to point out that this wasn’t actually a one-time incident. Many noted the previous drunk kisses and emphasized that patterns don’t lie. The top comment reassured OP that attraction can exist outside typical preferences.
However, most users focused on the bigger picture. They urged OP to examine why these encounters keep happening. In fact, many suggested there might be deeper feelings involved that both friends are avoiding.
The Verdict
The overwhelming consensus: when straight friends hooked up repeatedly, it’s rarely just curiosity. Reddit believes OP and her friend need honest communication about their feelings. This appears to be a classic case of friendship drama evolving into something more complex that requires acknowledgment rather than avoidance.
