not really a love life...just a twisted relationship
Question Posted Thursday May 10 2007, 8:48 pm
ok so me and my best guy friend are friends with benefits. we had a big fight about 2 weeks ago and we just started talking/screwing around again. he only talks to me online, through texts or when we're alone. im kind of confused why he does this, he used to talk to me all the time no matter where we were. are all friends with benefits relationships like this or just mine? dont tell me to stop being friends with benefits with him. we both tried doing that but we have this strange connection where we cant keep our hands off each other. how do i get him to talk to me in public
completelyhonest answered Thursday May 10 2007, 10:09 pm: From personal experience, this sometimes does happen with friends with benefits. There's two possibilities. One: He's shy and feels awkward being around you when you're not doing stuff. Two: He doesn't want anything but benefits with you and doesn't really value your friendship. I understand that it's hard to stop a friends-with-benefits situation...trust me I've been there...but sometimes it's better for your emotional health. Hope I helped!

I'm not really sure because it could be anything but you may want to actually ask him what is going on.
Also, eventually you will need to put a stop to it or at least be able to control yourselves. What's going to happen if you find someone or if he finds someone - will you both just stop being around each other completely in the fear youll jump on each other? Or carry on anyway? There's other things too but it's pretty hard to actually explain here in writing but I thik the best thing to do is ask him what's going on because if he can't even talk to you in public then I don't really see much of a foundation here for a friendship at all.
