So here's the situation I have been friends with this guy for a few months now and ever since we first met it was clear we both like each other and like we kissed before and tried dating but it just didn't really work out. Now we're just friends and its working really well except there's still like tension between us because its clear we still like each other. I was thinking we could be like friends with benefits and stay just friends but then like if we get the urge to kiss each other or fool around thats fine and theres no commitments and no expectations which was the problem before. I don't really know if this will work out though and I'm afraid of telling him my idea and how he might react to it....
If its really what you want to do, and you are POSITIVE you wont fall even harder for him, then i'd say go for it. As long as you protect yourself and dont get too envolved. Thats the hard part.
All guys love the idea of a friends with benefits, no strings attached. If you brought it up, im sure he'll agree with it.
Also, keep in mind...if you guys tried dating and it didnt work out, do you really think you should try friends with benefits? just a thought.

I'll remember you in spring time and when I contemplate, the reason why we cling to those who give us such false fate.
I'll remember you in spring time and in the early morn, for that was when I loved you, that was when we were born.
I'll remember you in spring time and when our love was new, before it was you took me apart and could not find the glue.
In the fall, I'll forget it all in favor of my fate, when someone comes who knows how to be my love of late.

If you know not my opinion from this writing, read my column, or write me. I warn you though, I won't just give you platitudes like those who came before me.
P.S. I see my message totally escaped you, I shouldn't wonder, I should know better by now then to answer stupid questions, where the answer you want is so apparent. Here let's try again, sure go with the benefits thingy, you don't have to worry, you'll never get pregnant and even if you did, you could abort it. And don't worry, you won't miss your soul mate while your tied up in a meaningless relationship and I'm sure any man out there would love to marry a women so loose that she believes in friends with benefits.

It may work out this time it may not but you have to take the chance. You have to tell him though and make sure he's okay with it. tell him you still wanna be friends no matter what he says.

taylor answered Thursday November 20 2008, 5:10 pm: okay well i understand where your comming from.
and what i would do is just be friends with him at first. if yall kiss ok. and if yall fool around.. ok. but just be friends at first. and let one thing lead to another. dont move to fast. that scares guys off. dont have high expectations either. just take it slow and see what happens.
and yes you should tell him. yoiur never going to know anything inless you make that move [ taylor's advice column | Ask taylor A Question ]
