i've had this friend with benefits for almost a year now and i decided that i dont want to keep it going. i started having feelings for him and i told him but i don't think he liks me. i think it would be better to just end it because i dont want to get hurt so i wanted to know if anyone has some advice on a good way to end being fwb without ruining our friendship

BJ2004 answered Friday April 15 2005, 11:27 am: just tell him that you are starting to have feelings for him and you cant do anything with him any more because you dont want to get hurt (just be honest) tell him that you still want to be his friend but nothing more [ BJ2004's advice column | Ask BJ2004 A Question ]
cyanide answered Friday April 15 2005, 11:24 am: I have another question? How can you be so sure that he doesn't like you? I think you should find out the truth while talking honestly with him and by the way, whether the friendship will come to an end or not is not just up to you but to him too so try to consider his point of view too...

missdesiree answered Friday April 15 2005, 2:05 am: There are two kinds of relationships. The ones that work, and the ones that don't. As a fwb, your relationship worked. I seriously doubt the friendship can be saved once "the benefits" stop. Expect more from your lovers,you deserve a man who "likes you"!
The bottom line: Don't settle for less than you need. If you can't get it from him, there are plenty of other men who would be happy to treat you right! [ missdesiree's advice column | Ask missdesiree A Question ]
flutterbyme_8i8 answered Thursday April 14 2005, 9:15 pm: Well I've learned that having a friend with benefits isn't a great idea! I went through the same thing and ended up having feelings for him. But I could tell that the only thing great about me to him was in the bedroom. My case may be different than yours but I pretty much stopped taking his "booty calls" and started talking about other men of interest and so forth ... he took the hint and it didn't take him long to move on. But our friendship will never be the same ... we don't talk nearly as much as we used to. It sucks, but that's the risk ya take when you have "benefits."
The only thing I can suggest to you really is to sit down with him and be completely honest. Tell him that you want to continue the friendship, but you can't have the benefits w/out a relationship which obviously isn't in the future. Who knows how he'll react. Hopefully he can understand and your friendship can stay!
Best of luck to you ... I hope it goes better for you than it did for me!!
