Friends with benefits?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I've had a few 'friends with benefits'. One girl I was seeing back as an undergraduate and man, could she fuck. Best sex ever. But we wouldn't have worked as a 'couple'. We were friends for about a year and then just drifted apart.

Our relationship certainly didn't cheapen her in my eyes.

She was a good friend Neither of us were after anything more and when it came to a point in time where she was interested in someone else we called it a day. I intended to stay friends with her but we just drifted apart I guess. We moved away from each other and I met someone else and then life happened.

Someone once described life as simply a chain of connections with people. Some you like, some you don't. I liked her, and she liked me. And that was all we needed. Did I have 'feelings' for her? Of course I did, and I know she had them for me too. But I think part of us not staying together as a couple was that we both knew we weren't that compatible, we just made each other feel good with great sex. I'll be honest, when we stopped seeing each other I felt sad and a little off put. At the time I think I may have wanted more, but I'm older and wiser now and realise that what we had wasn't supposed to last forever. Again, it's what we wanted at the time, and that was enough.
