Now I know a lot of people here probably hate these "Help, I have girl problems" threads, but I'm really confused.

Long story short, I really like this girl who happens to be my best friend. Now, she has told me she's not interested and there is no hope, but then yesterday we kissed a bit(not just a peck on the lips, like snogging more or less), after me promising I wouldn't take it the wrong way as she said it was meaningless.

So, my question is this: Can best friends of different genders kiss and it not mean something?

There is an actually semi-offical thread for this but ill see what i can do.

It is possible but hard for you to share a kiss with someone and not move on. Wether this strains what they think of you is up to chance.

I would say no, really...

Sure, I kiss my best friend's on the cheek and whatnot, but snogging... is a tad far I think :p

Although, if she's fine with it, go for it, a kiss is a kiss afterall ;P

Uh, if one of you is a machine and doesn't feel emotions sure. But in all seriousness, male or female, best friend or average friend I'm pretty sure at least one of you will feel something.

Does it mean something? Probably, unless it was a dare.

I had a friend like that once, she did exactly the same thing, but it turns out that she was just toying with me. I'd be very weary if I were you.

She is obviously in denial

"The mouth can lie, but the lips speak the truth" (or something like that).

But...

...You've already buried your chances here.

Edit: She could however, also do it to confirm that, it didn't mean anything to her (regarding feelings). Either way you're better off settling this with her, ASAP.

Well, before I say anything I'll preface my response with the same thing that I preface my responses with EVERY TIME I see a relationship advice thread. That being that none of us responding, myself included, have any idea what the McFuck what we're talking about, so you should take any advice we offer with a massive heaping spoonful of salt. This is because we don't actually know the people involved. Any "advice" (and I use that term loosely) that we can offer is just general advice. But it's not good advice. Relationship counselors generally spend their first meetings with any couple, not offering advice, but just getting to know the couple. And this is why we can't offer good advice, because we don't know you, this girl you're best friends with, or this girl you're best friends with's grandmother's dog. We know nobody. All we know are a couple lines of text briefly outlining the situation. The people who are best suited to give you actual good advice on this situation, are already involved in it.

That said, we can offer general advice, and what I would say is that any girl who knows that you're into her, has made it clear that she's not into you, and is doing stuff like this with you anyways... not only is she not a good friend, but she's not going to be a good lover either. There are a couple reasons why someone in her position might do something like that, just to name a few, it could be that she herself is a confused emotional mess of a person (in which case you might actually have a shot, though even if you do, you're buying a ticket for one hell of a bumpy ride), it might be that she's kind of a ***** and she's messing with your head for funzies, or it might be that she's feeling sorry for you and is too naive to realize that kissing her won't alleviate your desires, only make them worse. So, in one situation you're dealing with someone who's going to be an emotional tornado for the entirety of the time you know her, in another you're dealing with someone who's kind of a *****, and at best you're dealing with someone who cares about you as a friend and is to naive to realize that she's only making things worse. In the first situation, you'd be better off just staying friends to start with, and if there's any chance for something more she will probably present it to you. In the second, well, that's not too hard to figure out, she's just playing with you and you're gonna get burned. In the third if you approach her all you're going to do is dammage further what already sounds like a confused relationship. My advice, let it go. If something's gonna happen, it'll happen on it's own, and if it's not then you'll only make things worse for yourself.

Yes, is just her acting out physically.

Next time she does it tell her no, it may sound stupid but in my experience if you leave them wanting more then they will end up liking you more.

or

She'll tell you to fuck off and go to someone else, but nothing in life isn't a little bit of a gamble.

Such is the game.

I used to do it all the time, kissing friends who are girls that is and fancying a friend (who was a girl)although both were not always directed at the same person. I had friends I fancied but did not see myself with and those I did and I kissed both, it can be hard, not in the "harharhar look how cool I am" way though.

Seriously, very little else makes you feel this infuriated and constricted. I feel for you.

Concerning what happened the other night, were you both drunk, was she doing it because she thought she was being nice, does she understand that you really, REALLY like her and messing about like that upsets you? Talk to her again and actually make sure she understands.

Unfortunatly if she does not fancy you chances are she wont any time soon, your going to have to deal with that... I did, was not nice. But youll get over it.

Just find an actual girlfriend and alot of the tension will filter out with the new girl, that way you can still be friends. Although make sure your new girlfriends the understanding type who realises its just a kiss and that you guys are close.

If after all this its still to much, you may have to back off, for YOUR own good.

How are you choosing to take it.

A similar situation more or less happened to me in around grade 8/9.

I'm still friends with the girl. It honestly didn't mean anything past "Were both kinda achy with strange feelings and your the opposite gender of me"

I won't tell my wife about it for the life of me though. Then again I doubt she would appreciate me telling her boyfriend either.

It was harmless fun.

However. Neither of us had crushes on each other. We honestly were just friends with benefits.

You, however, walked into a bear trap after being explained its a bear trap. If you really like this girl its going to suck for you if and when you find out she really didn't mean anything by it. She made you promise not to take it the wrong way. My advice is don't. You threw out any chance of having a serious relationship with her as soon as you made that promise.

So to answer your question at the end. Yeah, friends can experiment with each other and it mean nothing.

However you have a crush on this girl, and pretty much pissed on any chance of being with her for at least a few years. If you ever want to pursue this girl stop any form of sexual contact. Never ever EVER EVER bring it up when trying to woo her officially.

Maybe in a year or two you will have a chance again. Break either of those rules and you will likely lose her as a friend.

Its called Friends With Benefits.lol. Forreal though Chances are(at least in the USA) she will end up falling for you because intimacy doesn't usual come without feelings(when you're already close). Next time it happens. Stop and ask to talk about it. If she says there is no connection like that, then ask her to stop because it is disrespectful to you for her to use you and hurt you emotionally just for her to have some fun.

p.s. I wish you the best of luck because being in a relationship with your best friend can be an amazing and beautiful thing.

She's either in denial, or trying to be mean. Anyway, have a look around the ocean, plenty of fish. However for your sake, I hope she confesses her attraction towards you :p
