Asked two of my offline Christian friends and they say it ‘cheapens your worth in a man’s eyes.’
My offline atheist friends say ‘nothing wrong with it, but if feelings emerge, it can ruin the friendships.’
Hmmm. I don’t want to get serious with anyone, but hanging out with someone in a ‘mutually beneficial’ arrangement, sounds…appealing.
Would be interested in your ideas about it, and if you have stories to share of your own. (good or bad)
I have a friends with benefits thing going on with a girl that I met at the gym.
After my ex girlfriend and I broke up I had sex with her the very next day and ever since we realized that it's just lust and nothing more.
She comes once or twice a week to my place to kick back and enjoy.
The issue is eventually you end up to start behaving like a couple as people tend to start having conversations, giving advice, and eventually ending up in the bed.
If both sides are ok with keeping it casual without having feelings then it's definitely a fun and adventurous experience.
We've been doing it for three months now and unfortunately she's starting to develop feelings and it's time for me to get rigid and cut the cord.
Yep, probably the inevitable ending to the fwb ''story.''
I met a guy last weekend when out with friends, and we have been on two dates this weekend. Awesome guy. Sexy, and just awesome. So, going to see where it leads, so far so good.
And leave my friendships with other guys, as just that. Friendships.
Thanks all for your advice.
