Temptation

So I have recently discovered why I have always held the belief that it is best not to be attracted to your friends. I guess all this time I just believed it cause it sounded smart, but now that I am attracted to a friend, I see the dilemma.
Now don't think that you have to have all ugly friends for this doctrine to work. That would just be odd to discriminate against who can be your friend based on how attractive they are. Hmm, sounds like what some gay people do, and you don't wanna be like them, now DO YOU? But you can have friends that you know are attractive people, without being attracted to them. The easiest example of this would be any girl that is my friend. I know that many of them are attractive, but Im not attracted to them(sorry ladies). They don't stir the desire in my loins or any other phrase you might find in a romance novel. Same goes for my male friends too. I know some of them are cute, but either they aren't my type, they are straight(and thus only pretty to look at, useless in any other way - so joking, or am I?), or we have that friend thing going on that makes the idea of sex between you kinda nasty to think about.
But recently I made friends with someone who I wanna strip naked and molest. And if you know me well, you know that the fact that this happened while I was within the state of Iowa is all together quite shocking. Now of course I asked this hot man out on a date(even though I've forgotten what those really are, its been so long). But alas, he is dating someone far away so I got nuthin. But hey, he is a nice guy so we are now friends. And that's where the trouble begins. Cause I really could sit and stare at him for a long time, but that tends to scare people, so I am forced to pretend that we are just casual friends while everytime he walks away I check out his ass. I'm a little afraid what would happen if I got too drunk around him. While I've never aspired to get it on with men in relationships, I don't know if I could prevent myself from throwing myself at him. And then that would just be embarrassing and awkward everytime we saw each other after that.
So while I'm not gonna stop being friends with this guy, I use this story to provide a word of caution to all you out there. If they are hot and you wanna go out with them, stay far away if they say no. Otherwise you could end up in an embarrassing situation. Friends and booty just don't mix. Well I guess unless you have the whole friends with benefits thing going on, but that's a whole nother blog entry.
