I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.
You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.
And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.
Honestly, the biggest advice I have for poly people is that you do not need to date every single mutual crush.
why are there so many comments saying that you can't go back to being friends with someone after you've been that intimate with them? are yall not being emotionally intimate with your friends? not even the close ones?
