Last night I had sex with one of my best friends. We were really close and there was some attraction between us, but we both saw each other more as a friend than as lovers (I friendzone her since she had a lot of connections). We were really drunk, out of nowhere she asks me if it would be cool for her to kiss me, and I said "yeah, if you're a good kisser". So we kiss, then I suggest we head to my place to hang out since it was comfier than subway. So we get to my house, and she asks if she can just sleep there. She keeps trying ti make out with me, and gives me LMR saying I'm her best friend and she doesn't want to ruin our friendship, which i reply to by agreeing that we shouldnt (and then she started saying well, i guess it might not ruin our friendship). Well we ended up having drunk sex, she's into it and suddenly in the middle of it she pushes me away saying "this is weird." Afterwards she fell into the sad state and opened up to me, talking about how she thinks about her ex all the time, and that he was probably the "one" for her even if she was the one that broke up with him. I'm cool though, and I tried to console her. I dropped her off this morning, but I'm unsure what to do to keep her my friend and not have things be weird between us, also I'm curious if anyone knows why she would fall into a depression state? She says she feels that way for several days whenever she thinks about her ex

She is probably struggling with the breakup and is looking for ways for her to feel at ease and peaceful again. You two were good friends so she decided to see how being with a friend would feel. She wasn't using you, she was just trying to overcome something in a different way with someone she felt comfortable with. I don't think you should attempt to try to make this something. It was probably just an off night.

I want to be able to put her at ease, and comfort her, while still being her friend. I don't see us having a relationship anywhere in the future and that doesn't bother me

Re-assure her use will be friends no matter what and it was a silly mistake on both parts. Your there for her as a friend and dnt want a silly mistake to ruin the friendship you had. If i was you i would go back to doing what use normally did as friends straight away so that the awkward stage doesnt set in and use dnt want to talk.
