Hooking up with a friend?

So I’m not sure where to start with this story but here we go 🤣 I broke up with my boyfriend of a year over 2 months ago now and handled the breakup pretty well (it was a long time coming).

About a month ago a very good friend of mine also broke up with his girlfriend and we’ve been talking a lot since we are in the same boat.

Well while talking both of us were mentioning how we miss having someone but we don’t want to officially date anyone. I’m sure you see where this is going lol.

We decided to hang out and just get food and talk for awhile. Then one thing led to another and I was half naked in his bed. I told him I didn’t want to have sex so we just made out and did other teen stuff 🤣 After the whole thing he was weird and we talked and he said that morally he was feeling conflicted about it because we are friends. I’m not the type to catch feelings too fast and I told him that we were cool and that our friendship was still solid. Nonetheless we decided not to do it again, which I was a little sad about but ofc respected.

We still talk just about everyday and today he asked if I was still down to fuck. I asked if he was sure because last time he got weird after and he said he did want to. We’re on the same page about it being just sex, but I’m worried about the friendship.

So I guess I just wanted some thoughts on the whole situation. I by all means want the D, but not if I lose a friend.
