Answer #1

If you are both mature about it and communicate a lot, it should be fine. However, it will involve you both talking about the situation, so be prepared for that! It’s not easy to exclude feelings.

Answer #2

yeah it’ll mess up your friendship (sorry) but possibly for the better. changes can be good/bad. he’s probly bad news if he wants to be with you without telling people your going out though, so be carefull. and rumers of you being a slut could surface from this as as whell. but have fun girl if it’s what you want to do

I’m not going to lie, it can ruin relationships.

My best friend and I did this for three months and all the physical closeness made me really start to LIKE him.

The whole point of friends with benefits is that you can be physical without the commitment and I ended up heartbroken.

I saw him go on dates with other girls, hook up with other girls, talk to them and I couldn’t say ANYTHING because we weren’t dating.

We ended up incredibly bitter and stopped talking entirely. Eventually things resolved themselves though and we started dating.

It turned out to be the best relationship I ever had. We went out over a year and a half and the only reason we broke up was because of college.

I’m not saying that this happens to everyone, but really consider what you’re doing. Your friend will start seeing you as less of a friend and more of a sex object if you two are friends with benefits.

If you guys really want that physical closeness, I’d suggest the discussion of dating.

It might work out if you two are FB, but, it’s a risky move.
