What do you think about friends w/ benefits? Have you ever experience that? It`s just like `no strings attached`. It is a mutually beneficial relationship w/ a friend where you don't have to take them on a date or you have to say words like `i love you`. But there is a big responsibility in this relationship, if you are now started to have more romantic feelings w/ that someone you considered special. SO what do you think about this topic? ^.^

These days this sounds better and better to me.No pressures-no moving in together etc. But I agree-what if you start to fall in love and they don't love you? It's a pretty big risk to take.

I've done it a few times, and it was great! A great way to stay satisfied (and safe! because you know the person) between relationships. Both people need to be able to handle it though, or someone ends up getting hurt.

i am not in favor of this - for me. actually i have not been into this kind of relationship and i do not think i will ever be. i won't put myself in this situation.

I think it's just an excuse for men to sleep around and the folly of the women who would do everything to be with the person even if it means that they're sharing the person to other people. I don't think it's possible since sooner or later we can't help but fall in love with a person because we talk to the person a lot or are with the person always. It's impossible to hold on to that type of development and it's sad that you can't really force him/her to be exclusive to you. I guess it's just a road to hurt and something that I wouldn't put myself in because I am an emotional person. I know what I can do and how I can love, and I don't deserve someone who cannot love me back.

i dont think is a good idea^^ is like you say. one of the friends can fall in love and if the other doesnt love back he will get hurt. so i think that is ok if you are with a friend and both fall for each other but about being together without a committment is a bit like play with fire^^ friends already have a big connection so if get involved like that one of them can fall for the other^^ is good if both fall and then is a very sweet story but if only one falls then will destroy the friendship of if dont destroy it will be complicated anyway. so i dont think is a great thing to be done^^ but if both agree sure^^ but me i wouldnt risk that even if i was single^^ i could fall for my friend and he didnt and then i would get hurt. then we could continue friends but i couldnt look at him the same way anymore bcs had feelings for him.
