Sleeping Situation with friend

[Snydergate]

OK, so my best friend and I are going to be staying at a hotel together soon and we are sharing a room. We could only afford to get a one bed room and I have no problem with sharing a bed with a guy whatsoever, I would rather enjoy it haha. But my friend doesn't want to share a bed and was asking me if I could sleep on the floor since he doesn't want to sleep in the same bed as a guy. PS he is not a homophobe, he just doesn't feel comfortable with it. Now I do not want to be on the floor at all, mainly because it would be uncomfortable but also because I want to share a bed. What should I say to him to convince him to share the bed? If this is not puberty related then my bad, I didn't know where else to put this.

[omgdog]

tell him ur not going to sleep on the floor cause u feel comfortable sleeping in the same bed but if he wants to he can...I doubt he will cause the floor sucks haha

Just sleep on the floor. What's the big deal?

Well I just don't want to becuse I helped pay for the room and I kind of deserve to use the bed as well and I hate sleeping on floors because I always wake up sore. Plus we will be in the hotel for two weeks and I would rather not sleep on the floor for that long. If it was a night or two then i would suck it up but I cant for that long haha.

How about you guys alternate who sleeps on the floor and who sleeps in the bed?

[Snydergate]

I did ask about that, but he just kind of ignored the question a bit. He more or less said, "We'll see." Which is probably a no

[ImTrickster]

if he doesnt want to share a bed then he should sleep on the floor.

[Abhorrence]

Well it depends how big the bed is, if it is a double then you could probably ask the hotel to get two different duvets and then if you like roll up in them there's not like any issues of touching lol.

The bed has more than enough space for the both of us to be comfy, but he just doesnt like the idea. I want both of us to be happy so I just am trying to figure out how to convince him that its not weird at all because I really want to share

I don't think it's weird either, I mean being uncomfortable is not nice though. I suppose if one of you has to sleep on the floor then literally ask for extra duvets or something? Could sleep on them then. Just try to compromise because you don't want to make him uncomfortable.

probably should not have rented a room with someone who is going to give you so much trouble. you tell him, you helped pay for the room ,you are going to sleep in the bed. he can either grow up and sleep in the bed too or he can get one of those roll away beds which he can pay extra for. but this is the type of stuff you have to figure out before hand and spend your money on

He is a great friend. At first he seemed to not mind about getting a one bed room so idk

ask him what he thinks it is going to happen? the two of you are just going to be sleeping. he is being immature. if he continues to give you a hard time, I would try getting your money back. I would not pay to sleep on the floor for 2 weeks no matter who it was, not when I paid to sleep in a bed

[Just JT]

I agree man, kinda weird it's such a big deal for him ya no?
I'd stick to your guns an say no, ur sleepin in the bed, if he's gota problem with it, then sounds like he's gota problem

Or, take turns or flip a coin...
But I like my first one better, plus u both might have fun ya no???

I know I'll enjoy it haha, he'll get over it I guess. Like you said, what does he think is gonna happen? Our legs might accidentally touch? Oh No! Haha

to be fair though, you should stop saying how much you will enjoy it. it is a bed, the two of you are both sleeping it is nothing more then that.

True, true

[SethfromMI]

True, true

just make it seem as natural as possible. it is something tons of guys have done and it is no big deal. you could make him feel weird for making it a big deal. does he know your bi? if so, reassure him you are just in the bed to sleep and nothing more (and with this guy, I would not recommend anything more then that)

He has an idea, but I have not flat out told him. I wasn't planning on trying anything at all, I just want to sleep comfortably

well reassure him of that. but if you helped pay for the room, I would not give my spot on the bed. but that's just me

Yeah, I will just talk to him a bit more. He is a great friend so I think I will be able to get him to be alright with it if I provide a good case, which is plausible.

good to hear

[Snydergate]

good to hear

Thanks for the help man

[SethfromMI]

Thanks for the help man

no problem Jake :)

[Just JT]

I agree, Maybe he does suspect and is nervous of your intentions or something
so be honest, u might be surprised

[patsfan925]

Thats honestly just rude on his part. Sharing a bed and "sleeping together" are very different things. I'm just curious why he thinks you should be the one sleeping on the floor? If he's so against sharing a bed shouldn't he be the one to move? Two weeks is a completely unreasonable time to sleep on a floor, he needs to either: man up and sleep in there with you, sleep on the floor, pay for a rollaway bed, or you guys are gonna have to cancel the trip. Those are the only solutions i see

[vboy]

Y dont u pack a sleeping bag and take turns

[SethfromMI]

he shouldn't have to though. he shouldnt have to sleep on the floor for a week when he is paying to sleep in a bed

[vboy]

Or even if its most likeley a double bed, simply ask for some xtra pillows and put a wall inbetween them to

Yeah, you are coming across as kinda creepy saying how much you'll enjoy sharing the bed with him :/.

You want both of you to be happy - yet you reject compromises by saying 'I am trying to figure out how to convince him'.

Sleep head to toe so you aren't lying face to face, get an extra duvet so you aren't sharing, don't move into his personal space.

Fact is, you both have paid for the bed. He has no right to demand you sleep on the floor over him, unless he is willing to alternate nights and sleep there himself. Tell him to bring a sleeping bag if he's that uncomfortable around other men. Bit of a ridiculous thing to demand of you though.

a little more reasonable but the guy should just grow up. if he has that big of a problem, he can pay to have a roll a away bed for him to sleep on

[Jaffe]

Heh. You're paying half the room. you get half the bed.
Tell him that if he doesnt want to share it, he can pay the extra $$ to get his own bed.
