Is it right for a single girl and her single guy friend to hook up?
I have been single and celibate for a year now and my guy friend is sort of pressing this issue. For the benefits, yes I would consider it but I am just thinking of all the things that could go wrong. I do think I am a bit vulnerable now and I wouldn't want to make any mistakes that would make my situation any more complex.

What do you think?


Update: I don't mean to say he is PRESSURING me... I mean, we are really good friends and just goofs but lately he has been flirting and hinting. I don't know if he is trying to BE with me or he just want FWB... it seems like the latter.    A month ago

If you are not ready for this kind of relationship, then you should not engage in it.

If he's pressuring you, then he's not even in the right mind frame for this kind of relationship.

FWB relationships are by the far biggest point of contention of all relationships described on this site, and I'm guessing that is a strong indicator that they are everywhere else.

What most people don't understand about FWB, is that both people still have to do relationship work, it's not just meet, action, and move on until next time. Many people seem to treat FWB as a one night stand, and truthfully that is a major oversight.

If a FWB relationship was to be carried out, both aprties have to agree on the frequency of events, will both people be able to see others, and so on.

If he's not willing to agree to terms, then it's not the right thing to pursue.

And even then, it can be very unfulfilling. I have answered posts on here from people that set terms to a FWB relationship, and they discovered it was still something they did not like.

Committing to this kind of relationship can be an even bigger decision then a traditional relationship.

Well sounds like your very unsure at the moment. I have done the friends with benefits for a long time and you do eventually get jealous if they get with someone else or he doesn't talk to you for awhile it becomes not as fun.
But it depends who with an what there like also there maturity level.
If you and him are good friends it might well definitely wreck you friendship it won't be the same.
As you both have known each other well already you might develop feelings as females just get emotionally attached then males when having a sexual relationship.
There's nothing wrong if you want to but sometimes it just gets intense and you might regret it.

Friends with benefits can get really sticky.

If you can emotionally detach yourself, it can work but that's really hard to do it just depends on how well you know yourself.

If your not ready, don't do it.
