ok there's this guy who i'm really good friends with (i'm 17, he's 16). he's kinda like a lil bro figure to me, but lately things have been getting more non-brotherish. we both like each other, and both know it, but we also know that nothing can develop since i'm leaving for college in the summer and he's still a sophomore (his parents made him stay back in like preschool). we've made out a couple times and i just can't stop thinking about him. my only problem - should i keep this going if we know it's not going anywhere? we agreed not to go out or anything, but i mean, should we be like friends with benefits or would that ruin our friendship? thanks so much in advance! i rate :)

Im in a long distance relationship and it does work if the relationship is strong enough. And if it doesnt work out then atleast you've tried it out rather than regretting it! However if you really dont see it lasting then you could do the whole friends with benefits thing but would you then both feel hurt when you leave for college? I think you either need to decide to definitely continue things or stop everything altogether otherwise your friendship might be on the rocks! Hope everything works out.

Unless you meet someone in college who you think is your future hubby or something just date without getting tied down.:) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Your leaving for college so might as well have fun with him if you cant be in a real relationship. I dont think this would ruin your friendship at all..go for it!
