How many of you have had successful friends with benefits relationships? I'm currently sleeping with a guy who I like a lot but I'm going to try and prevent any attachment I might develop for him because this is what happens with relationships such as these. He is a very nice guy and his is something new to me and I think I would like to continue this so far good experience. Any advice?
Update: The reason I am trying to prevent the extra feelings toward him is because I know he isn't looking for a relationship, he doesn't even like using the term FWB. He just wants the affectionate company. Don't get me wrong he is wonderful and an old friend.

It can work, but everyone needs to be honest, candid, and respectful.
In other words, if you want more, say so. If he doesn't, respect that. And if the relationship can't continue, end it. If you both can do that, it'll be fine.
well most of the times they don't work which is because of ur situation because one partner wants a relationship but the other one doesn't and that just messes up the entire relationship/friendship entirely
Yes it can. I am currently in the exact same situation and it's working, and working very well. We've been "friends with benefits" for about 10 months and friends for about 4 months before it started. Honesty, respect and discretion are the keys to making it work. Never kiss and tell. Never tell anyone the situation, even your best friend. This is between the two of you only. Trust plays a major role in it also, especially if you both have partners (of which my situation does). There may come times where you think you feel more for that person, that's when it's time to back away for a few days (we call it disconnecting) or so and see of it goes away. If it does, great; if it doesn't, you need to speak it. Once one of you grow the "feeling" for the other, it's over.
i tormented my self for 2 1/2 years over my friends with benefits because I caught feelings for him so finally last week I told him I'm not interested in being your fu%k buddy anymore so he spends more time with me and we are basically a couple now. we both caught feelings but, I have heard in most cases friends with benefits relationships end ugly because one of the parties end up falling for the other and the other is only in it for sex so...also in most cases the man in a friends with benefits relationship and sometimes the woman has a girlfriend or boyfriend and just having the friends with benefits on the side.
did you guys talk about it? Its hard that kind of relationship because usually the girl gets attached and that sucks! I have friends who have been in that kind of relationship and it never moved forward ... it eventually died... I think you cannot prevent any attachment at this point because you already said you like him a lot! and that's how it starts! its hard to control inner feelings such as those! But I wish you the best and hope you don't get hurt...
