What does it mean when a guy wants to be "friends with benefits" with you?
Okay, this guy has been my closest and best guy friend for half a year. We've always gone out together to eat and basically a date but only as friends together since we both had a girlfriend/boyfriend. We kept it secret all the times we went out. And so we'd always help each other with our relationship problems until one day both our partners broke up with us . After this I realized i had feelings for him but then i thought maybe it was because i was feeling lonely so i put the 3month test to the challenge and here i am still having feelings more than a friend for him.. And we've been going out to eat and stopping by a park like in one of those cutesy dramas, back to back we even hugged romantically and always teased each other. However he told me that he liked this girl so i was pretty heartbroken and i tried forgetting or getting rid of these feelings but their not working since i really just love him A lot..It appears the girl likes him back but shes moving away. i asked him once more and he says he doesn't.. and then he says he does... @.@" What should i do with my feelings? Do i get rid of this feeling to avoid pain or keep having these feelings for him....? and what does he mean friends with benefits? is it anything more than friends?
What does she mean if she says let's be friends with benefits?
It means u do things like kiss, hangout, hold hands, but without officially being boyfriend and girlfriend. You pretty much do things couples do but without really being one.
My friend with benefits calls me a whore?
I do date other men, but that doesn’t give him the right to call me a whore. Is he acting normal by calling me a slut, whore, etc?? Is that how normal fwb relationships go??
My friend with benefits keeps telling me he loves me. Should I take this seriously or is he saying that as a friend?
Ask him! Every relationship is founded upon communication- even those that are not romantic. You say he is a friend with benefits, emphasis on FRIEND, so you should be able to ask him how he feels. If he says he has feelings for you in a romantic way, and that is not what you want, let him know! It's better to break it off than to lead him on for longer than what's necessary.
What does exclusive friends with benefits mean?!?
Thank you in advance for you input! So, I met this guy online and we hit it off right away. We went hiking on our first date and stayed at the top talking for a good hour before it started getting dark and we had to go. We began talking everyday over text (usually initiated by him first thing in the morning). We went out to dinner on our second date (he paid) and then to view the city lights on top of a mountain. We still talked everyday and finally went on our third date to this trampoline place and he drove me all the way across town (good 25 min of driving) to show me his favorite view of the city. We finally had our first kiss there plus a little more fooling around. When I asked him what he is looking for, he said he doesn't do casual but he doesn't know if he wants a girlfriend ("because it sounds so permanent"). He proposed the idea of an "exclusive and physically rewarding friendship". What does this mean? I really like him, but I am an "innocent good girl" and I don't want to get my heart broken by him. I tried pushing the subject, but he got a little quiet and weird so I didn't push it too far. He is so sweet in person, but his online persona is a bit of player. Help, please!

What does it feel like to be in a “friends with benefits” relationship? What are some difficulties you've experienced? How does one find a middle ground between "just friends" and hooking up?
I’m writing anonymously because my wife hates to be reminded that I did this with someone we still know.It is awesome when you have just the right friend. Mine was a her, so….First and foremost, you have to like her. I had a lot of non-sexual fun with my FWB. We went to sporting events, we’d attend parties, we went to the beach, we went to see my friends, her friends, whatever. We enjoyed each others’ company.Second, the sex has to be rewarding. That means spur of the moment. That means getting a little freaky. That means doing nasty stuff for each other. Whatever they want, even if you normally wouldn’t, and really enjoying giving and receiving pleasure.Third, it has to be intimate. By this, I mean you can let your guard down. You can let that person in. You can say things that might embarrass you with others, but you know you’re safe with her. You can ask for whatever you want sexually, without fear of how it will be received. That you can talk about your girl problems with her. Or provide a shoulder to cry on, lend an ear to listen, have a hug ready if she needs one. And the same comes back to you.Last, even though it sounds like it would end up that way, that there is no romantic attachment. No possessiveness. So when she tells you about her new boyfriend after a session, there’s no reaction other than you’re happy for her. And of course, vice versa.I had one of these for almost 15 years. We still know each other, and I love that woman, even though it has been 25 years since we’ve hooked up.And the future? However it goes is what I say, as long as she stays in my life.If you can find that, you will never let it go.
How to end a friends with benefits relationship?
Have you talked to him about your feelings? Maybe he feels the same way. Maybe he has feelings for you too but is to afraid that what yall have now is so good he doesnt want to mess with it.....But on the other hand if you have had this discussion with him and he is aware that you have feelings and possibly want more. Than he should be considerate of that........Meaning.....He should either A.) Stop pushing the friends with benefits role and just be your friend or B.) seriously think about his feelings for you and about taking things further. And if you have had this talk with him and he is still just blowing your phone up for sex than he isnt very considerate of your feelings and you need to just let him know that you have made up your mind that this ISNT the type of relationship you are wanting. And that your friendship with him is important but it can no longer get out of hand like this again. And end it for your hearts sake.
