Sugarbuns agony auntI'm guessing she wasn't feeling the usual attraction, that comes from relationships that are more than platonic. Even though she had sex with you, she may have realized afterwards that her feelings of curiosity or fondness for you didn't go deep enough for a real relationship. Better you found out now before you invested much of your time and heart in this girl. Good luck.

rockelle agony auntPersonally, I do not think that friends should have sexual relationships. A friend is someone that you can introduce your significant other too, there are no romantic feelings involved. Now a lover is someone that you have intimate feelings for and have sex with and love in a way that is physical, emotional and naturally there is a friendship. Now, that you and this girl have already had sex it complicates the "friendship". I think you need to talk with her to see if she has any interest in pursuing a relationship with you or is this just a sexual relationship. Maybe she referred to you as a friend for lack of a better term. You have not made your relationship official so she didn't want to call you her boyfriend. So to determine what type of relationship you have, you need to talk with her and make sure you are both on the same page to avoid anyone getting hurt in the future.

YummyMummy agony auntHow you feel about the girl should tell you whether you look at her as just a mate or as more. When you are cuddled in her arms to you think about a future with her. I don't mean planning marriage and children, but just being together. Or do you think about being with others. Does your heart flutter when you see her number come up on your phone calling you.

Ask her is she see's your relationship going anywhere, and if she does only like you as a mate.
