How are you and your friends with benefits like? Is it like this? Or am I an anomaly?
How often do you talk to/see about your FWB?
How are you and your friends with benefits like? Is it like this? Or am I an anomaly?
That's cute. With the kissing and hugging in public, just be careful that you guys don't start catching feelings :p
When I had a friends with benefits, we would hangout a lot since we played video games together and text each other almost everyday too. Like we were very close friend. but we never kissed or anything. We acted as friends in public. And once or twice a week, I'd go to his place and we would have sex lol but we would never cuddle, or kiss or anything. Was just sex.
Yeah that's what I thought a friends with benefits thing would be. Yours makes total sense.
Mine does not and I wonder why. Dude wants to massage me and everything its quite and interesting dynamic. There's also the fact he wants to have sex with me a lot and asks a lot but I... don't. Well. Not really. He's attractive and he turns me on I just get in a mood though where I'm just not interested in anyone. I honestly am the worst friends with benefits I don't know why he wants me so bad lol. I know there are others and yet... he still asks me.
Its strange 😂
Lol how it felt to be her free whore
The last one I had we barley spoken unless he wanted sex or I did. I’m pretty sure we went like 2 months without speaking at one point.
I’ve never had that kinda closeness with any of my past ones. We would check in on each other and set up the next meeting but nothing else. When those things happen feelings get involved and difficult conversations might need to be bad because lines got blurred.
Everyday, she's my wife, she my best friend, and she brings benefits to the relationship.

Congratulations!
Your question is today's 2nd Question of the Day illustrating that Friends With Benefits is an illusion because eventually one of them will get emotionally involved as if in a couple.
It's not a question of "if" it's going to happen, but "when".
If it is any consolation, in December 1988 just before I turned 26, I was involved in this intense 2.5 week F W B situation (*) with my roommate. I was very emotionally involved, but, for her, I was just a convenient lay between more "serious BF"s.
So, was I a stupid fool? Yes and no. I knew better, but I wanted what I got into and paid the price. I learned through The School of Hard Knocks just like you are...
(*) This is long before "Friends With Benefits" became "a thing". No one said that 30+ years ago let alone thought it because it would be considered an embarrassment to sink to that level. Apparently, being a slut or manwhore doesn't matter in today's "hook-up culture".
Actually I wonder who would fall first if that was the case. He said he'd never develop higher feelings for me and due to that I keep my options open and take everything he does at face value... including this stuff.
We kept it to ourselves in public but hung out we smoked and eventually if it lead to sex hey it did we felt comfortable with each other we check in on each other so ur not alone on the hang outs and checking in it's just you are friends but find a sexual appeal to em
Did he decide the friends with benefits situation or did you? Because yeah we hang out but the endgame always ends in sex. That's the entire point.
My money is on you
He actually asked for it.
Actually... the story is he wanted to date on Monday and by Wednesday he wanted friends with benefits. It was a strange dynamic because he went from spilling his heart and then he went to shut it down? I don't know he said he had baggage and stuff...
He second guessed himself. He panicked. shouldn't have back tracked like he did.
Why the no sex is beyond me.
Yep, and before you know it you will start to get feelings for him and that's where it gets ugly. Bad idea.
Oh God I hope not. He specifically told me that he'd never get feelings for me and because of that I keep my options open, I refuse to get attached, or talk to him everday. If/when someone actually wants to date me we're gonna actually have that conversation. All of this stuff he initiates... I don't because I refuse to get attached to someone who literally told me it won't be more. It seems he's changing his own rules.
Well for one. He specifically said that with his "Friends with Benefits" that they contact him initially and they schedule their meetings and that's about it. Everything is specifically sexual nothing more nothing less.
With me? He contacts me. And we talk about life and what we're up to (daily stuff and even just fun stuff) and he's the one wanting to see me all the time not me wanting to see him. And we don't plan it... its just spur of the moment. He also plans to hang out with me... not sexually, but just in general. We're supposed hang out soon and shoot nerf guns (I'm being serious, but that's just us.) That's why I'm so confused about it. Plus he's more affectionate publically and I meet up with his friends... with him.
Look, this shouldn't be confusing at all. He wants the girlfriend experience without the commitment (translation: he still wants to be able to fuck other girls) All the other stuff that you mentioned (nerf gun wars, talking about your day etc, is irrelevant, it doesn't matter if he initiates those things or not. If you go along with it then don't complain when you get feelings and he won't change.
I mean you right. Its why I don't take any of this shit seriously and I plan to keep it that way. But I like your reality check response. More people need that in the world.
At least every 2-3 days and sometimes every day. It just depends on our schedules. And for context, we only meet up 3 or 4 times a month, due to schedules.
The type of thing you´re describing is exactly what I would like. Now I´m jealous! lol
I'm sorry 😂 part if me wants to say take him he wants to give me massages and everything its confusing me he's better than my ex boyfriend
Why wouldn't you exclusively date. I dont get it...
Oh why don't we date? Honestly, I can't answer that for you. Maybe its gonna form into that eventually.
One issue is our age difference, but both of us are out of our comfort zone about that. Secondly, he has baggage that I don't have and he doesn't want to let that stuff go for some odd reason and I want to help him but at the same time I know he has to deal with that on his own. Thirdly, although he said he'd never catch geunine feelings for me it seems he already has... or at least beginning to. I like him as well, but most of this stuff he's initiating. I refuse to because he said he wanted a friends with benefits not a relationship. At this point I keep my options open as well, if I find someone who has no problem being with me without all the ambiguity I honestly would have to talk to my friend. If he just asked to be exclusive I'd quickly say yes, but if he never does I'm not gonna stop if I meet someone else either.
Dumb question... the benefits. That can lead to offspring as another giy out here just discovered. That means attachment. Why wouldny the answer be... no... fix yoir stuff... or just friends.
I'm on birth control (hate kids and in college) and I refuse to have sex without protection because I like my sexual health to stay healthy...
And eventually I already know I'm either gonna find someone who wants to date me or I'm gonna have to cut this off or he may get his shit together who knows.
But why even do this?
The simple answer: we like each other, are two busy for relationships with expectations, and he asked.
The complicated answer: he's in his mid 20s and I'm in my late teens and we're both in different phases in our lives.
That is basically what I think most people want lol, the intimacy, attention, and physical relief of a relationship but without the pressure
I don't know. your situation same as mine. maybe it's normal.
I feel like it is more of an intense relationship than friend with benefits..
This isn't even a friends with benefits this is just dating
You are basically friends without benefits
Or both afraid to call yourself a couple
It sounds more like a non exclusive relationship to me. But it’s cool
When I did have one, we only met to fuck and only texted to meet. I like this arrangement.
Sounds more like a boyfriend
That's how mine have been.
Talk to him every day see each other once a week.
Depends on which one
@Taylor_c I'm down for a friends with benefits
Ahaha right
