Thoughts on friends with benefits?

0

I kind of accidentally maybe hooked up with my best guy friend ever a few nights ago… It wasn’t really awkward in the morning and we agreed not to tell our friends about it. He proposed friends with benefits and I don’t really know how I feel about it… Opinions?

It all depends on how you feel and how far you are willing to go with this guy. It really doesn't sound like he is looking for a "dating" relationship with you or else he wouldn't have purposed being friends with benefits. You just have to figure out if you can go about having this sexual relationship with him and stay casual about it. But if you think that you might want to date him instead, do not agree with the whole friends with benefits thing because you'll get hurt and you don't deserve that. Just make sure you talk things out with him and get a mutual understanding of how each of you feel. Hope I helped!

There is nothing wrong with being friends with benefits in my opinion, as long as both of you are sure that you actually want the same thing. If you know that you are not interested in this guy in any other way than as a friend, and if you're sure that he feels the same way, then you could just go for it, if it feels right. The tricky thing about being friends with benefits though, is that feelings might change when you start to get intimate together on a more regular basis. One of you might develop deeper romantic feeling for the other, and then you or this guy might end up getting hurt. So before agreeing upon anything, I think you should first be really sure about your own feelings, and then you should talk to him, just to make sure that both of you wants the same. There is always a risk that things might change, but if both of you are willing to take that risk it should be fine.

If he is going to have friends with benefits with you, he is gonna have friends with benefits with his other friends as well. Can you guarantee that their won't be any form of jealousy among either of you when you both discover that one of you might have other friends with benefits? If yes, that simply means that what you might be seeking is a committed relationship. Why should he have benefits without wanting to be committed to you? Do you predict a future relationship with this guy? Why give benefits without knowing how the relationship with grow? Do not do anything if there is doubt in your heart. Doing it won't make things any clearer for you.

"Kind of accidentally maybe". No, ma'am. Either you did or you did not. You do not have to apologize for your actions if you are not even certain you did something wrong. <br/
It is your body and it is his body, if you willingly choose to share that with each other, nobody can tel you that you are wrong for doing so, nor do you have to justify the act.

HE proposed friends with benefits? Really? Why doesn't this surprise me. How do you feel about this? Does it bother you? If it does, do not be a part of this anymore. Your feelings matter. Your health matters. No feelings attached. Strictly just sex, remember?! This is not going to develop into a monogomous relationship. I work in the health care community, and what bothers me so much about this is that he's more than likely doing this with other friends-with benefits. Possibly not just girls, either. Oh yeah! It's a disgusting world we live in where morals and respect is out the window. Please take care, and be careful as infectious diseases are on the rise, again. Chlamydia and HIV.
