UPDATE: My (F21) guy best friend (M22) drunk kissed me and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Umm.. after reading all of your comments, I just want to say thank you. You all gave me the confidence boost I didn’t even realise I needed. At first, I was fully prepared to pretend the kiss never happened but your words made me stop and think. Maybe there was something there.

As I said in my previous post I’d be meeting him tomorrow…And today we met so here is the update

Tldr below

~~

I decided to put a little effort into what I wore, just in case. I wanted to feel confident, and if things went well, I wanted to look nice. So I picked out a cute floral dress, and the weather was actually nice We met at this coffee/brunch place we both like. We greeted each other with a hug like we always do but this time it felt different. I knew he knew lol.

We sat down, made small talk, ordered our coffees… but neither of us brought up the obvious. The kiss… No one was addressing the elephant in the room lol..

Eventually, he said, “About the other night…” and I just sat up, nodded, and encouraged him to keep going. But he was dragging it out so I said it straight: “You drunk kissed me. And you told me you loved me. So… tell me about that.”

Haha his cheeks were pink for a moment and I’ve never seen him so nervous before. He’s like “Yeah… I did and I meant it.”

I asked him how long he’d liked me. He told me it was since I got my first boyfriend, two years ago. That he remembered not feeling happy for me, and that’s when it hit him. (This also checks out because they didn’t like each other and I never understood..)

I just nodded, taking it all in, totally shocked but also flattered. I honestly didn’t think I was even a possibility to him. He said he didn’t mean to kiss me the other night but it just felt right, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and how the alcohol really helped.

So I told him the truth. I liked the kiss and how it made me feel something I didn’t expect. I admitted I’ve never liked the girls hes had around, and deep down, it makes me feel insecure and how I thought I didn’t feel like I’d have a chance against them or even had a chance with him. And that’s why I never opened up my heart to the possibility of “us”.

He shook his head and got up and sat next to me putting his arm around me. And told me how silly I am and then said he loves me, and that if I gave him a chance, it would just be us and he would never give me a reason to ever feel that way again.

He said that in the past two years, he hasn’t felt a real spark with anyone he’s dated. None of them compared. He said he’d be more than satisfied with just me and that he’d do everything he can to make me happy.

At that point, I was overwhelmed and realise how fucking stupid Ive been. I teared up and just nodded. And then he said something that made me laugh “can we skip everything and just be girlfriend and boyfriend already?”

I said yes. We hugged. And now I have a boyfriend who is my best friend!

It happened so fast, I still feel like I’m dreaming. It does not feel real at all. I’m still processing this whole week.

AND when he took me home we shared a sober kiss and it was better than the first one.

Thank you to everyone who stopped me from brushing this off or walking away from something real. I was so insecure, convinced I didn’t have a chance, afraid of rejection. But reading your encouragement and your success stories helped more than you know.

Thank you, Reddit.

Tldr. We spoke about the drunken kiss realised he likes me just as much as I like him. Now we are together.
