Friends with benefits is only good with a good guy friend that won`t ever get mad at you other than that it`s not a good idea.Usually it all goes bad because that means you can do stuff with other people not just him.Since you have a "crush" on him you should have one of your friends ask him if he feels the same way about you because he might and you two should go out.♥

Probably not since that's how things like that always get ruined. Someone gets a crush on someone, or w/e. The choice you have to make is either stay friends with benefits, and nothing more or try for something else and abandon the friends with benefits thing

I have to admit, I have always been against the idea of 'friends with benefits' for a number of reasons. I have never done it myself but I saw it emotionally destroy a friend I had. She got to really like this guy and one day he just cut her out of his life completely.

The thing you have to remember is that for most guys, this sort of situation is ideal. All the sex and other 'fun stuff' they want with no strings attached. They can do whatever they like with you and not only do they not have to worry about dating someone else while doing this, they can stop calling any time they like!! Not only do they lose all respect for you as a person (after all it's not normally as though they want to become acquainted with your mind when they do this!) but you lose respect for yourself and it's damaging to yourself esteem. Inside, there's almost always a part of you going "Well....he seems to like me when we're in bed/kissing/etrc, so why doesn't he want to actually DATE me??"

Honestly, I would say that you are best off getting out of the situation but if you really want to do something about it then tell him how you feel. The downside of this is that you have to be prepared for an answer you don't like. If you think you can handle that then take a deep breath and just tell him you like him. If you don't think you can then it would be better if you ended the whole thing because it will make it all far too confusing for you both if you have feelings for him.

friends with benefits are usually not a good idea because your both basically using each other. since you like this guy, tell him that you no longer want to be just friends with benefits but want to have an actual relationship

If your starting to get feelings for him BAD IDEA. Im saying this because if you have friends with benifits type situation and now there is feelings involved somone can and will (trust me) get the wrong idea of it all. YOu need to talk to him. Dont keep being friends with benifits if yur developing a crush.

hope this helps.

friends w/ benefits..that type of things always starts off innocently. but as time goes on, it's natural that you and him are gonna start to like eachother. that's why it's not a good idea to get attached. cause maybe if you like him, he might not like you..he just wants to be you're FWB. but i mean, keep doing what your doing ;]

Friends with benefits is never a good idea, it will just lead to heartbreak. You are starting to develop feeling more for this guy, but that may not be how he feels. He may be thinking he's just getting something great and he can get it with other girls too. He's not tied down....(Guys are weird)....so i say no to the friends with benefits. I would tell him how you feel, and if he feels the same way, well, great...go for it, but if he doesn't, well, stop the whole deal now.
