I have never had a friend with benefits relationship, but I have listened to many other people talk about them. It seems that this is what happens about half the time and it should not be unexpected. It is possible that he has developed feelings for you, too, and if he has, he will probably tell you. If he has not developed a romantic attachment for you, then he will probably feel that you have violated your agreement and he may get angry, he may end the relationship, or he may tell you to keep your feelings to yourself because he still wants to have sex with you.

Hhaahahah. Oh boy. Ok so first, I'm not laughing at you. Why i laughed is cuz this question slapped me dead between the eyes with a memory. So to answer this... its simple. What was agreed upon in the beginning? Were terms talked about? Were contracts signed?
So friends with benefits exsists why? There so many answers as to how? If nothing was discussed in the beginng, then it's both your rights to know where the other stands. If it was talked about and this is gunna stay strickly friends with benefits, then catching feelings could be tooken as a sign of betrayel. Tread lightly my friend. Hope this helps a little
You know what our dear old lobster said in Little Mermaid — "there's only one way to ask her"! That is, he might be in the same boat as you, maybe this can get you into a good relationship. But bear in mind, he probably would break it off with you if he doesn't. It's up to you to take the leap of faith.
That’s a dangerous line to cross because chances are—they expect you to honor the agreement of “no strings attached” so it’s a one-way street from there.
It’s happened to me before but there was nothing I could do about it because they were taken.

With all due respect, I think friends with benefit is a stupid idea. Most of the cases it will be convenient to the guy and completely unfair for the girl. I would advise any girl to not attempt to be involved in these kind on unfulfilling relationships
There's nothing stupid about being honest. It could go a couple different ways. Either he doesn't feel the same way and it makes things a little awkward or he does feel the same way and he wants to be more than a friends with benefits. It's up to you to decide if it's worth rolling the dice. Although tbh, I'd probably only roll those dice if you'd want a relationship with him because otherwise I'm not sure I'd risk things getting awkward.
Chances are he either consciously or unconsciously already knows anyways. I have always known and most other men also know or should know that no woman is any man's wife/girlfriend/friends with benefits it's just his turn and its a fact that out there for anyone that most all women cheat anyways. Plus there is nothing a man can do about it so it should not upset him in the least besides the much higher chance of getting a STD.
As I see it..
You have to confess.
Three outcomes:
1. He don't like it; it ends.
2. He don't like it but lets it go on; you'll be dug in deeper and suffer until you give up or he stops it.
3. He feels the same or at least is willing to try; you have a shot.
Not confessing is like doing Nr 2 but worse because you'll want more and meanwhile he will be exploring other options.
Oh the suffering.. spare yourself, make a hard decision, there are no easy ones.Most of the time when people become friends with benefits they want nothing serious, it's just for fun and you have an agreement on that soo I think it would be better not to get involved in all that shit you know, better you keep it for yourself your you might get hurt badly and in case you find it hard to stay quiet just stop everything
Who suggested the whole idea in the first place? If he did he doesn't want the commitment of a relationship. So you admitting it will most likely just annoy him, since he will see it as you putting pressure on breaking the arrangement.
No. Before you begin to have some type of feelings for this friend it would be best if you just tell em how you feel. You don't want to lead yourself on if he's not wanting more than he is willing to offer. Talk to em and let em know so you both have an understanding and if they just want to be friends and nothing more than It would be best for you if you back up.
Yes very stupid. Why subject yourself to friends with benefits if you can't handle it. Also, it's clear he is not interested in the girl beyond sex. so yes she might as well keep her mouth shut while he uses her for sex on the side while he's in search of his dream girl to commit to. Cause he sure ain't going to form a relationship with someone as easy as a friend with benefits
If he is being selfish and wants to keep you around then you should quit it, it doesn't make sense to hope for a fool to turn into a prince charming. It's not that easy.
If he felt the same he'd come to you way backIf you feel like you are still benefitting from it once he knows… continue
If you aren’t and it’s making you unhappy.. leave
Find someone who actually wants to give you their all and not just fool aroundYou could tell him but you shouldn’t expect him to feel the same way. I would go into that conversation already expecting the worse considering that isn’t what he expected going into this kind of relationship with u.
If I were into the swinger sphere, I'd likely see you as a threat. Emotions and fun don't mix, and who know what you'll do to keep me around.
Our arrangement would end that instant.Honestly? I think the whole friends with benefits idea is ridiculous anyway.
For me, I either love a woman or I don't, and if I don't? I wouldn't sleep with her.No, it's never stupid to tell someone your feelings. He could be feeling the same. Ultimately you're both having an intimate connection, so wouldn't be surprising if you both developed feelings for one another
Pretty silly. He just thinks you're a warm place to put it. An alternate place to jack off instead of his hand.
No guy worth his salt would treat his beloved in that manner. You have proven your value already - pretty much a zero.Maybe, but I always prefer to deal in the truth. That allows everyone to make the decisions that work for them.
If that is how you truly feel how could it be stupid.
It is the truth.
Relationships should always have the truth.I'd think, "that was fun while it lasted... gonna miss that ASS"
Speaking your truth is never stupid. The appropriate person will find you extremely attractive, the wrong person will make it easier for you by disappearing.
Yes very stupid, if I have friends with benefits is because I dont want feelings involved
