My boyfriend just left—should I try a friends with benefits situation?

[Anonymous]

Uhmmm my boyfriend just broke up with me and I don’t think I could stomach another relationship. So I don't know if i should take this guy on this offer with friends with benefits.

Yes

No

Your boyfriend just broke up with you, and the first thing you do is find another man to fill the void? Girl, take a minute to HEAL. You shouldn’t be worried about stomaching another relationship when you’re fresh out of one, this is just a very male centered frame of mind.

If you're only looking for sex, go ahead with the friends with benefits. Be careful, though, make sure you use protection... as many condoms as needed.

And keep reminding yourself that it's only about the sex, nothing else.

I suspect the time will come when you want more than friends with benefits, in which case it will then be time to start dating again, looking for the relationship you really want.

Well if you don't know then wait until you do know. What's the hurry? Is there a fire in your pants that needs to be put out?

My aim on GAG is to help you dodge heartbreak landmines and spot red flags before they explode 💣

Fresh breakup + friends with benefits = emotional danger zone. You’re still raw, vulnerable, and your heart wants soothing, not casual sex confusion. friends with benefits often turns into lovebombing yourself, catching feelings, then getting ghosted. Heal first, flirt light, rebuild confidence. Your body isn’t a rebound therapy tool, babe 💋

What do you want right now? In the future?

Nope. It's not worth it.
