My now boyfriend and I started out as acquaintances, then friends. Then a month later he started telling me how much he likes me and I shot him down over and over... and over and over! We stayed friends in a sense but once it was out there, it was out there. Well, one night I went on a really awful date and couldn't stop thinking about how much I'd rather have spent the evening hanging out with my friend. I decided to get very, very drunk, go over to his apartment and make out with him. Instead I got there and we talked for awhile, then eventually started a smooch fest He went on vacation for a week right after and the first night he was back we slept together... two months later we made it official.
