I don't like getting into typing about stuff like this but this is the first really good male friend I've had in a long time. He has become like my closest friend and we are who we are around one another. Its been about 3 1/2 months since we've started hanging out. We met in a band meeting I was supposed to be auditioning and ended up hanging out then I initially thought he was super on drums and got interested in flirtatious eyes we seemed to give one another. Thing is, we stopped that then and there and just ended up being good friends. We did then and still do talk about whatever and don't feel any reason to try to impress one another. We are like blood now. Only. recently we have become pushed into that term "friends with benefits". I hate titles! But whatever. so anyway we got home and drank away like we always do at friends houses then to the house and got to talking and he mentioned liking more than just friends. It went from being involved sexually purely when no one can see and never really kissing. Now he kisses me and caressing my face and looks me in the eyes and holds and kisses my neck at night and just pretty much is super loving and touchy feely as if we'd be more than sexual friends. Snuggling is always super good but lately he acts like he expects me to be everywhere with him. Like just a while ago we were planning to hang out somplace and he says, "oh I forgot we had plans to be at J's (his friend) house for poker tonight.". I knew they invited him but wasn't up to date on the invite being for us aka "we".

He's been throwing all sorts of hints and asking me what I had to say about how he felt and so forth (mentioning liking me more than a friend) and I just got nervous/scared/ wierded out about it and said, " I don't have anything to say at all". I sort of have those feelings about him but I push any "too close" feelings out the door pretty quick because of not wanting to get into a repetative circle and past experiences. I am pretty strong minded. I just really like his friendship and don't like thinking I'd lose him.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Am I just reading too much into it?

S.

No, you are not reading too much into it. You are experiencing what kills most "friends with benefits" (sorry for the title, but much easier to label something than to keep alluding to it) relationships. One party not feeling the same as the other party. In the beginning, it has to be agreed upon by BOTH members that this is ONLY a "fwb" relationship and that when one or the other develops feelings for the other, then a re-evaluation (a sit down and sober talk) needs to take place to re-set or re-establish the the ground rules moving forward. I repeat .Re-set or re-establish. In other words, change the rules or stress the first one again in case the person breaking the first one forgot there were rules in place to keep this awkward situation from raising it''s ugly head. You are both adults here. Time to start acting like adults and talk it out. He may take it the hard way if you cannot honestly say that you have true feelings for him. But, at least it will be over now, rather than much later when he is in REALLY deep and would hurt that much more.

By the way, there is nothing to be nervous/scared/weirded out about regarding having true feelings for this guy. I mean, you met, became good friends, became intimate, etc. etc. Believe it or not, you have actually followed the natural progression of ALL true relationships (including those "labeled" as marriage). How else does the Human Race become "involved" in a relationship? I mean, after all don't we all start out as strangers, only to become more and more intimate with each other until either we part ways, or die in the other's arms of old age? This whole new label "friends with benefits" is just another bunch of words that took the place of the melodramatic label of "lovers". I guess it sounds easier to explain too. Whatever. The human experience is complicated enough, but I guess we have to invent things to make it even more complicated if for no other reason than just for kicks. Good luck to you.
