    Would really appreciate some constructive advice. I'm not the most outgoing person but have a few good friends. One of them is male and I've known him for a few years. He's in a serious relationship but I've never met his girlfriend. Recently my friend made a pass at me and I stupidly let him. We later agreed it was harmless and we would forget it & he asked me not to tell anyone. The thing is he has always been a cheerful, outgoing & sometimes flirty person and that's the way he continued to act. I don't really fancy him but I don't feel guilty about what happened (which surprised me) this has made me so confused and I've asked for some space. I really want to know if it is possible to go back to being friends or is our friendship dead?

    I would say if you want to remain friends.. you can .. same thing happened me last year.. i felt awkward when i saw him next but it was fine.
    Just make it clear to him that it cant happen again.

    Just be very sure that nothing will happen again, and be completely honest with yourself about your feelings. These things can ruin friendships so easily. :(

    Probably. You still think of him in the context of friendship. If he thinks of you in the same context then you shouldn't have any trouble still being friends.

    I don't think the friendship will ever go back to exactly what it was because ye did cross the line. If he gets flirty again, will your mind be thinking back to what happened?

    Only you have the answer to this. Maybe in time it will revert back to much the same as it was. Maybe it won't. Time will tell.

    Can you explain this pass he made? Did you kiss? Sleep with him?
