"I've got a crush on a guy friend. Nothing's ever happened between us but there's a lot of sexual tension and I want it to. How do I tell him and get something started?"

Bigger Bitch Than You says:

Well you didn't give us a lot to go on honey but let me see if I can out do LMNT again.

1) how long have you known this chap? I mean are you BFF since grade school or did you meet at the pub last month?
2) what other girls has he dated and does he talk to you about them? Are you his type? Is he GAY (trust me I've made that mistake A LOT).
3) any flirting going on at all? Any touching? double entendres? innuendos? Freudian slips? You say sexual tension but are you sure it's on both sides?
4) do you want a fuck or a ring (or something in between....I ryhmed)?

Because if he's really your friend and you want need him as a friend more than a fuck, then you could have a potential chernobyl here. I hate to say this but go watch When Harry Met Sally again (choke). There IS some truth to that drivel but in real life you don't get the boy saving you at NYE you get tears and heartbreak and feeling really really dumb on top of losing your BFF.

Listen, if you just need a good fuck go to the nearest fratboy bar and get drunk and turn up the charm. If you really want something with him then drop some hints, if he's not a complete moron, he'll get it. Alcohol is usually highly recommended in these situations...pot if you've got it.

And also do NOT go torturing yourself (and all your freaking friends) about this for months or years. Either do something about it or forget it and shut the hell up!


LMNt's thoughts:

Ok, this is easy. If you're even remotely attractive and he's a friend of yours, he'd at the very least be willing to hook up with you. Chances are he's got a secret crush on you, too. If you're willing to risk the friendship, get him drunk and kiss him (the alcohol with help you in the guts department, too). That should do it.

And if you get a minute, watch Chris Rock's take on platonic friends. It'll shed some light on the subject. Here's the short version:

"Men don't have platonic friends. We just have women we haven't f*cked yet."
