Okay, a few people have helped me on this forum in recent threads, which i am very grateful for.

At the time of my last response, i was feel rather sad! I do feel better and hopefully will get my appetite back.

I spoke to this guy last night. We agreed to be friends, and he said he can see where i am coming from. If he was upfront and honest, all this drama/**** feelings would have never happened.

He said he still wants to have sex. Im guessing it'll be like a 'Friends with benefits' type deal.

Can this work? Would there need to be 'rules'? (like if u sleep with someone else, tell the other person - for health reason).

He said a few things (naughty things) that made me really laugh - like i haven't laughed in days. I went to bed thinking about that - and had the best night sleep in weeks.

I feel like im too nice sometimes. i still care about him, why i dont know. he said he cares about me.

Im really confused! lol. I mean, i've already lost my virginity to him, is it a big deal if we just sleep together? Im not getting it anywhere else, and if i meet someone - i will stop. I would continually to get checked for health/safety etc. Im not sure how 'often' this would happen either. I haven't given him an answer yet. i need to think about it and came on here to get some advice. ive never been in this position.

If anyone has been in this position, please give any advice!!! I dont know if its going to confuse things more. It is really nice to have that affection (hugs, cuddling, etc etc).

I would still try to meet someone who is interested in having a relationship though. I would not be jumping in so quickly like i did with this guy. - i think i would need to know if we are gf/bf before all the sex stuff. i can't go through those feelings again!! If i felt anything more for someone than friendship and they did too - i would stop the sex with this guy imediatly. Is that going to confuse things?
