kitty01: but if you have been very good friends for a long time.........what if the opportunity arises would you go for it without knowing if this is turning into something more.




There's never ever going to be that opportunity for it to become something more then it is .

Him and me are like sister and brother and I sure wouldn't have that kind of relationship with my own brother for gosh sakes.

Good strategy, out of their way so they can enjoy themselves,

but nearby to avert any trouble..........I think I fancy a glass of something.

cheers........wine devil

Lagoona22: You're right....everybody knows that...but often choose to ignore that truth....my question is, how can you sleep regualrly with someone, and not become attached?....if you can, I'd be wary of you....I knew someone like that...she could totally divorce the physical act, and emotions.....not for me thanks....I like old-fashioned romance...


Yep that's me too...friends with no benefits works for me....I just think it's a mess waiting to happen when one or the other starts to develop feelings for each other...and as you say and I agree..it's inevitable....wave wink hug teddybear hug bouquet

kitty01: Who would like to have a male friend for companionship, with a little on the side


Somehow that Little on the side seems to change everything. The friendship is always different after that.

That's true...but the mess comes when one wants to honour the no strings attached and the other has feelings...and that's ultimately the danger...then the friendship is ruined as well!!!!!!!

Been there, done that - no thank you. Doesn't "work" for me. I can get more fulfillment with myself, by myself...

somechick: Actually my friend is a very good cook. When he visits me we cook together and have a great time doing so. He's been here for me during my resent problems and likewise I'm here for him too.That's what Real True friendship is all about. Being there for each other through the good,bad and the ugly.


i see , so does he bring his buns and you supply the fish , yes sloppy seconds

I don't see why it has to be though.dunno

Not what I'm looking for, but it doesn't have to end badly. Why is it that so many relationships seem to end with animosity or even hatred? I just don't get it.

I agree and if I ever had a friend like that I would likely be the one getting hurt by wanting more than just a friendship.

It would not work for me, I would get hurt for sure.
Where I live many couples have hooked up but each stay in their own
home that would not work for me either.
I want to find him next to me the next morning.

I will answer this question for you, or part of it anyway. grin One partner always seems to get their heart to involved. When the other one finds someone else they want to be with, the one left is even more hurt and angry. wave hug

No, no and hell no! laugh Been there, done it. That is a disasterous thing to do. There is a very fine line that you cross when you go from being friends, to friends with benefits. One person always gets more emotionally attached than the other. When one leaves to pursue another relationship with someone else, there tends to be alot of hurt, anger, etc. sigh Worst part is...if they were/are your best friend, you usually lose your best friend. sigh

Why be hurt and angry though? This doesn't just apply to FWB relationships, but to all relationships. If one or the other met someone, shouldn't the other be happy for them rather than resentful, jealous or spiteful?

I just don't understand that mentality, and that's part of what's kept me single. I don't want that sort of BS in my life. The whole "woman scorned" thing is creepy!laugh
