is it ok to sleep with a friend?

[TADA]

we're both too pessimistic to be together.

if you both have a lot in common, then pessimism must not be the only thing you share don't you think?

If you truly value your relationship, then I wouldn't do it. It complicates things. I have a couple good guy friends that I know would sleep with me but I never even consider it because I value their friendship too much. It seems like you have already decided that you wouldn't want to move the relationship further than a friendship so your best bet is to not do it.

That sucks for those guys.
