so i had this boyfriend. we dated for a few months and then broke up. we have been friends with benefits i guess you can say since the beginning of summer. i like hooking up with him, but he definetly cares about me more than i do him. don't get me wrong hes a sweet guy but i don't have romantic feelings. my relationship before him was 2 years and i feel like i need to "experiment" with other guys and stuff. you know figure out what i really want in a boyfriend and eventually a husband. he gets upset when i hook up with other guys though. but i told him i didn't want commitment andi don't want a relationship right now. i've been hookig up with other guys but i feel guilty cause i'm keeping it from him even though i told him clearly that hooking up with other people is not cheating since we are not in a relationship. can anyone help me with this messy situation? thankss

Don't let it get to you , but it's getting it to you because you care about him and still do like him , but it's up to you , you can either get the bate with all the guys and keep a secret or , if he doesn't do what your doing and you stop and take a breather and go back to him that's not bad either , it's your choice though. My advice to you is follow your heart , not your head. If you want this guy , go back to him , if not , go to others and experiement and let him go , OR tell him the truth , the truth will come out eventually.
Good luck girl! [ snowboardbabe's advice column | Ask snowboardbabe A Question ]

Being friends with benefits with someone is a great way to figure things out about what you like and don't like when it comes to the down and dirty, but it's just going to hurt him more and more if you keep doing things with him. Depending on the guy, it may even encourage him to think you might want more with him again soon. I really suggest that you break that off with him so that he can move on completely. Then you probably won't have him quite as upset by it; and then even if he is that upset, he can't say a word about it because there's nothing between you that he can bring up to argue about.
