That happened once with my best mate too. He suddenly said to me one nite we were out that he fancied me and we kissed, and we dated for a few weeks but he just felt awkward & felt uncomfortable with the relationship.

So we sat down and talked about it and said he would rather be friends than lovers and lose our friendship if we broke up and yeah I was a bit heartbroken but glad that we were still friends at the end of the day...

Just be honest, seeing as you were friends before you asked her out she should understand where your coming from...

Best of luck with it all :)

Chrissykaye19 agony auntJay Boii,

The best advice i can give you is to take your bestfriend to the side and just tell her that you think this aint right the the moment and that you would rather be bestfriends like before.

im not saying this will work out 100% as she may be alright with it and think the same or she may be mad, but if she is mad she'll get over it in a few days.

Any problems,

message me back.
