17/f Is friends with benefits a bad idea if I have feelings for the guy? We've had this thing going on for months, and we're really good friends but I know he just wants to make out. I don't have a problem with us just doing that but I don't want to get emotionally hurt which I know may happen if I have real feelings for him.

You WILL get attached, and when, down the road, he starts to really like a girl, you will be heartbroken. A friends with benefits relationship can only truly work if both people involved have no romantic feelings for each other. So, I wouldn't advise it. By not putting yourself in that position, you will save yourself lots of heartache down the road. It sounds to me like you already have a feeling that it will not turn out well. Go with your feeling, whatever it is.
