So what do you do if you have a casual hook-up with the boyfriend of one of your closest friends....and things start to get really intense?
Any boundaries/ regulations that people follow?

    Lots of communication
    Everybody's boundaries matter
    Lots of communication
    Have faith in consensus
    Lots of communication
    The outcome will impact everyone's sense of trust and safety

    the casual hook-up with friend's boyfriend hopefully comes with the consent of friend or at least the knowledge of the potentiality of a hook-up and of course an openness to such couplings...

    i think the advice of keeping communication starkly open between those hooking-up and even more importantly with friend to whatever degree is most appropriate for the friendship.

    you have to work it out as you go and accept total responsibility for your actions and feelings...

    that is my take

      skadi is right on - if you did it without your friends knowledge and if her knowing about it would cause problems, then i'd say you have a little coming clean to do, as does he.

      if that's not the case and all parties involved know about it and are good with it, then the rest is just making sure everyone is on the same page with where things are going.
