Dear Sophie: ‘I Got With My Friend And Now It’s Too Awkward – What Do I Do?’

Help! I got with my friend when we were drunk over Halloween and now it’s so awkward - what do I do?

Disclaimer: I’m not a trained relationship expert - so please, take any advice with a pinch of salt.

So, it seems you might have had a boo-boo over theHalloween weekend{ =nofollow}. But let’s face it, accidentally getting with a friend after one too many drinks is an issue around 90% of the population have been through at some point in their lives. (No, I am definitely not talking about me…)

Anyway, let’s start off with the most crucial thing: it’s only weird if you make it weird. And Schatzi, if your friendship can survive this, it can survive anything.

Understandably, just how awkward you currently feel probably depends on whether you were just making out with your friend, or whether you had sex with them. If it was just a kiss and/or handsy stuff, it’s probably going to feel less like the end of the world than if you had a drunken one night stand.

If you did sleep with them, then you might need to have a proper talk about it. But that’s the great thing about being true friends, you can sit down and chat about anything. I presume you talk with your friends about your sex life anyway, so it would actually be weird not to address the boo-boo with your friend. OK, yes, it might be awkward at first – but put on your best p-p-p-poker face à la Lady Gaga call them, meet up with them, and chat about it. Still in a light-hearted way, but get everything you want to say out in the open. Because the longer you leave it, the more awkward it’s going to be. And the less likely it is you’ll be able to resurrect the friendship from the dead.

However, this is easier said than done if you’re actually in love with the person. Then I hate to say it, but you might be in a big Schlamassel. And only you can weigh up whether it’s worth admitting your true feelings - and risking the friendship.

Even if it’s a less than ideal situation and you’re panicking, I also kind of think it’s a good thing you got with your friend - as now you’ll never have to answer the ‘will they, won’t they?’ question in your head. Because you kind of have. And whatever happens now is meant to be.

But - regardless - you need to have a fucking laugh about it. And try your best to salvage the friendship. After all, everyone needs a Freddiemaus in their life.
