Friends With Benefits

Everyone has either been in this type of situation or you know someone else who has. Maybe you started off as platonic friends. Maybe you just got out of a long term relationship and aren't looking for anything serious right now. Maybe you figured being friends with "benefits" will be something fun and exciting. My question is though, do you thing these types of relationships ever really work out? Can you truly just be friends with benefits and be happy? Can a friends with benefits situation ever turn out to be something more meaningful and solid? From what I have witnessed and read, most situations that include a friends with benefits relationship end badly. Sometimes one of the parties involved develops feelings for the other person and those feelings aren't reciprocated. Sometimes one party feels the other is receiving more "benefits" than he/she is. Sometimes one person may just get bored and want to move on. My point is usually one or both parties involved in this situation ends up hurt.

  1. This topic is interesting.....where should I start. Okay I think many of us played that role before but the truth is with me personally I don't think us women are made for the "friends with benefits" role. We are emotional creatures that's the way we're are created. Many women think they can handle the whole"act like a lady think like. A man" we aren't built for that. We will become emotionally attached to who ever that"friends" might be. We can't possibly sleep with a friend often and not catch feelings
