Making out with girl (friend) - Bad Idea?

post #1 of 53
Thread Starter 
I have this female friend for a couple of years now. Last year, maybe in November, we hung out and had some dinner together. I felt a little amorous after a bottle of wine, so I made out with her. I didn't contact her afterwards for maybe two weeks. Since then we've been in and out of contact for months. She's been acting real sarcastic with me lately. I figure she's pissed at me.

So I'm assuming that she was interested in me and because I haven't chased after her, she feels rejected? It's not like she tried to call me or setup anything with me in those months. What gives?

She probably feels abandoned. You're screwed, unless...well...you screw her.

You lead a girl on and then totally ignore her. Real cool dude.

I think there might be more to the story, but it seems to me like it could be the other way around - you've known her for years, and you're letting an event which might not actually mean much interfere with your friendship. Deep down inside, are you sure you're not worried this might be the case, and by putting a little distance you're protecting your ego? Over the years I've definitely had my share of things like this go in both directions - mostly with my early 20s party social circle. Which is know a girl platonically for a few years, get drunk and fool around, and then watch it either burn the friendship or end up just some small even explained away by an in the moment thing. Usually with the former I actually did like the girl a bit and would have like it to go somewhere. Basically if you make it a big deal then it ends up being a big deal. Want to fix this? Set up a time to hang out like you guys used to. Act like it didn't happen, or it comes up joke about it, play it off. If it ends up in a serious conversation be direct about how you feel and how your friendship means too much to let this come between you. Do what a girl would do in this situation (I'm sure we've all been on the receiving end of this before). You need to take the initiative on this one, you dropped the ball. Also just an FYI, girls _love_ to be the one chasing, even if they won't admit it. You just have to do it properly.

Until you marry them and then they start chasing the pool boy...

Depends on circumstances whether making out means anything or not. I wouldn't see this as leading anyone on? It's like, oh hey, I made out with you sure, but I've made out with plenty of people I don't know the names of now, and didn't know the names of then. I guess it's different if you know them well, but even then, if she didn't say anything to you, its her own damn fault. I'm all for a guy paying for dates and such, but none of this "oh I have to wait for HIM to call" bullshit. Her fault for getting her hopes up without talking to you about it first, straight up. I'm all for making out with as many women as possible. Age probably matters somewhat though...

Let's assume, by the implications laden throughout your post, that you're at least somewhat into this girl and would like for things to have gone further and/or for this drunken makeout session to have been the start of a romantic relationship of some sort. No use pretending that's not the case, because if your interests in her were solely platonic, you wouldn't feel the need to solicit advice. Now, if we can accept that first truth, let's move on to the second (and far uglier) truth. If this girl wanted something more, she'd be making that interest known. She'd be contacting you. There would be no descent into awkwardness and in-and-out patterns of communication. Other folks here are going to tell you you blew it. The truth, unfortunately, may just be that there was nothing to have blown in the first place. She's just not that into you. Not in that way, at least. My best advice is to start hanging out as friends again, back to normal, and pretend as if this never happened. If she brings it up, that's a good sign. It means she is still thinking about it. If she never mentions it, neither should you. You have to choose between a friendship and a ruined-by-awkwardness friendship here. I would not place any bets on the romantic relationship outcome. So don't press for that if she doesn't.

I don't understand your post Arrogant Bastard? If he's interested, he should definitely talk to her, if he's not then I agree, he should ignore it. The idea of "waiting" for the romance to start again, without saying anything, is a recipe for disaster. If you talk about it, and she's not interested, then just go about your way.

Strange thing is that whether you want this to happen or not you ignoring her for sometime is working.
