Friends with benefits situation?

[Anonymous]

I've been sleeping with my ex girlfriend for about a month now. We've been broken up for about 5 months and went 2 months without seeing each other before hanging out again... the sex is great and we're always so good together when we hangout but I fucking love this girl so much but I've never told her... and I've been holding in how I truly feel for a long time and I just can't hold it in anymore. I was supposed to tell her how I feel last night but after we got back from dinner it was late and sex got in the way and I'm mad at myself for not talking to her again... not even gonna lie, I'm scared to tell her how I feel cuz I'm scared she'll never wanna see me again and have nothing to do with me... I have so many regrets with this girl but I can't let not telling her how I feel be one of them... and also, why is she okay with being friends with benefits? Cuz I mean that's essentially what we are right now...

Please tell her how you feel!!

I will. I've been wanting to but just haven't done it... I feel like she almost knows how I feel... she knows me really well but I don't think she'll see the "I love you" part coming and 1 other thing that I wanna say... what's your thoughts on our friends with benefits situation?

You’d have to talk to her about it
Tell her how you feel first
See her reaction
If she feels the same way you can date her

[Seriouslyitsnotjayy]

Do you ever talk about being in a relationship with her?

[Asker]

I'm almost positive she doesn't feel the same way. We never talk about being in a relationship. We sometimes talk about our past relationship though

[Seriouslyitsnotjayy]

this is kinda tough
But I’ll advise that you tell her how you feel

[Seriouslyitsnotjayy]

If she doesn’t feel the same way then you’d know and stop thinking too much about it
Hopefully you’d be able to move on

We don't talk much though... which I hate. I wish she'd communicate more with me... but I think that's my biggest fear... not the same feelings and/or not willing to work through our issues.

Just talk to her okay?
