Hey everyone, I was just wondering, I've never really just 'hooked-up' with a guy, meaning the only relationships I've been in, they had something serious part of it. I've never done friends with benefits. I was wondering what are your views on fwb and 'hook-ing/up' like what are the outcomes? benefits? feelings for one another? thanks in advance, i rate well. :--)
nocturnalkid answered Friday March 11 2005, 2:19 pm: Okay! I like your question. :)
I have never really hooked up with anyone until just recently. A friend and I were friend with benefits for about two months, and it was fine. We work together and at first I was afraid it would get weird, but as long as everyone involved acts like responsible adults, then it's a fun thing.
Now, I say we 'were' fwb b/c we are now bf and gf. So, I guess the outcome is a relationship, which is okay. I would be good either way, right now.
I also have another friend who had fwb, and they too ended up going out. It's been a year and some change since that started, so... I guess one thing really does lead to another.
Lights_Fade_Out answered Friday March 11 2005, 8:59 am: ok, friends with benefits is exactly how it sounds. FRIENDS with benefits. there will never be a relationship if he was the one that asked you. he just wants some ass from you without having to commit to anything. FWB is a very bad idea, and it can get you into trouble aka sex=child=life ruined. if he dosent love you then he can end up hurting you.
lilrocksta13 answered Thursday March 10 2005, 11:15 pm: My views on FWB is that you are still friends but not as good as you used to be. Things change and thats ok. Outcomes are that you both get time to think and time to yourselves. Benefits, you get to make new friends and you can stop thinking about wishy-washy details that don't matter.

This has happened to me many times and it really sucks. Just dont get yourself hurt. It hurts..xOx [ xOxPlAyGuRlxOx's advice column | Ask xOxPlAyGuRlxOx A Question ]
Melaur1001 answered Thursday March 10 2005, 10:29 pm: horrrible. dont do it, one person ALWAYS gets attached and if its you then it really sucks. serious relations are by far sooo much better and it ends up alot better, also if you dont know the person that well it could end up alot worse.. stay with somebody that you like and your sure likes you back!

jcpennypanties answered Thursday March 10 2005, 9:54 pm: Friends with benefits, is fun sometimes as long as you dont get hurt, but if you really like the person you will prolly just get hurt and you should just stay "friends only" [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]

kleokriesel answered Thursday March 10 2005, 9:40 pm: It's entirely a personal decision. If you don't want to hook up, then don't. I don't want to and I've never had friends with benefits or one night stands. I once had a friend who did nothing but hook up; I was fine with it because it's her decision, but I had to stop being friends with her because, every time we would hang out or talk on the phone or IM, she pressured me to dump my boyfriend (we're very serious) and to go hook up at some bars and clubs with her. It wasn't her decision that made me want to stop talking to her, but the pressure she put on me.
i3ARBIExLOVE answered Thursday March 10 2005, 9:35 pm: Well, I have a great boyfriend and respects the fact that i want to save my virginity untill im married. We might have kissed but not littereally hooked up, the outcome was still the same. We still had the same feelings for eachother and we got closer. Nothing special really happens.
Always there..

MummuM answered Thursday March 10 2005, 9:28 pm: If you really want to have a friend with benefits, I'd suggest you get with someone you trust. If you don't and word gets around, you'll have a bad name. Some benefits would be, you both get what you want and you actually have someone there for you when you're feeling down. A lot of people that hook up like this do fall for eachother. So, I'm sure once you do, the feelings will change and you'll be so much closer. But, things could always change and cause a lot of damage in the relationship you already have with this friend. It just depends on the risk you are willing to take, to have a friend with benefits.

lildiamyn_69 answered Thursday March 10 2005, 9:03 pm: Well, hmmm..
Friends with benefits is definitely a good thing if you pick the right guy.
I've only had one fwb and it was cool because we both knew that we were single but didn't want to be in a relationship, and we were very close friends, so we might as well, you know, become fwb.You do not want to become fwb if you don't have some kind of feelings for that person.
Benefits are that you both get what you want, and it might bring you closer. Sometimes the friendship lasts long, and sometimes it doesn't, but it all depends if you pick the right guy, and that makes it all worth it.
I knew that he wouldn't tell anyone.
Fwb is something that will be called slutty if a lot of people find out.
I've just 'hooked-up' with a guy before and that didn't work out.(nothing sexual) So others might not agree, but I give friends with benefits a 8.5, because nothing beats a good old fashioned relationship with all that.=)
You're very much welcome, and i hope I helped.
