I agree with Serius. Once you know the thought has crossed both of your minds, you can't keep pretending to be nothing more than friends.
I disagree. You can hook up with someone, even if it isnt just once, and still be friends. In my experience it hasnt affected the relationship at all.
I think maybe it is different once you have discussed actually being together/going out/admited to there being an interest, but otherwise if both are mature enough, it wont change anything. You can still just be friends, it just shows there may be something physical there, doesn't mean it will ruin the friendship.
And off the note of hookups and onto relationships, if you are really good friends with a girl/guy then surely you could do the relationship thing because its just taking what you have and adding in the physical. If they are a close friend, you already have the emotional attachment so going into a relationship you just get the physical benefits. IF you worked as friends, why would the physical make things complicated? Id like to think itd be easier getting into a relationship with someone you know rather than a person you have just met, otherwise what? You'll always be getting into someone with someone who you dont know anything about, how can you like them enough to know you want a relationship with them...
