Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality.It's part of the sizzle

and I think anticipation,is half of pleasurex Hugs H

Are you prepared to lose your friend if things dont work out?

I ask because this has happened to me. I crossed that barrier and no longer have that person in my life because of it. Confusion can happen for either person between feelings of friendship and what that can mean with the sexual aspect. Sure right now you both think you can handle the transition but that doesnt mean it will stay that way further down the track.

Sometimes you should just leave it at the tease.

Enjoy the chase and its intoxicating build up.  The anticipation is delicious. 

I enjoyed the same sexual tension, teasing and flirting with a friend who became a FWB and it lasted passionately for over a year.  We don't hook up as much anymore but have remained best mates and we can talk to each other about anything.  When it works it is a wonderful thing. 

Hopefully you have done enough respect and trust building in the process so that if and when it fizzles out you still have your friendship.

If you feel it is right, go for it. 

To answer your question about extending the chase.  You will know how long to chase as it eventually gets to a point where both of you just want the prize!  LOL
