Clubbing and drinking always seems to raise the age old question: is it okay to hook up with your friends? You’re mates; it’s a bit of fun or a last resort, but is it okay to do this or should you stick to snogging strangers (even if they are less acceptable than your mate)?
So you’re on a night out with friends or at a house party with no one new, you have a few too many and have the urge to kiss the guy/girl that you’ve been friends with forever; is this a mistake?
Yes. The answer is 99% yes. The only 1% where it’s not a mistake is if it’s true love and if it is true love, come on, what are you going to tell the grand kids? “Oh your mum and I really liked each other so we got drunk and kissed.” Your ratty grandchildren will say you have no balls.
But most of the time, hooking up with friends can lead to becoming friends with benefits, which may lead to a short term relationship, but one of you will get hurt either way and your friendship may not survive.
Yes, your friend my be familiar, and damn they’re looking good in that outfit, but you’ll regret it and if you’re both not grown up to pretend like it never happened, well it’ll just be a little bit awkward won’t it. Not to mention your friends remembering it too.
You may be saying, oh I’m a little above all this, but no matter what, it’ll always be playing in the back of your mind when you see them. So do everyone a favour; step away from that friend and go for that nice looking stranger over there, or that friend of a friend who showed up unexpectedly. And if you do end up locking lips with one of your mates of the same or opposite sex, do yourself a favour and pretend you don’t remember and blame it on the alcohol.
