Even still though, two people hooking up and having sex usually is going to trigger one of those persons' feelings growing into something more than just a good ol' romp in the hay. | |

Posted: 1/27/2008 8:00:17 PM | Hmmm, I've never had a nailed-down (no pun intended) "friends with benefits" relationship... but I have dated some women where it was pretty clear that we both weren't looking to "go steady" quite yet or possibly if at all, and it lingered there for a while. Usually due to huge life-oriented differences, but mere attraction and conversation. There may be fuzzy descriptions...
Just with any form of dating w/o commitments, it can get complicated and it's playing with fire if things aren't super-clear. Friends with benefits is no exception (the frequent or occasional dates is the bedroom in this case).
It can be pulled off when you both know you guys are NOT compatible -- both ways. This is usually misunderstood, and one gets to really be into the other, while the other one is not. Hence, playing with fire. I couldn't see it working if the guy and the gal are seeing each other a lot -- then they're just trying to fool themselves that there'll be no complication.
Significant distance with periodic communication? Could be pulled off. Huge age difference? Yep. In those or any cases, neither party could be a "romantic" or have that mindset. Hard to pull off in common situations when it looks promising, I'm sure. | |
