"Friends with BENEFITS," I told my friend, repeating myself. "Yes, I know. ME. Right? I can't believe it either! Except there aren't actually any benefits right now. Friends with benefits. Sans benefits!"
I'm not really the FWB type and so the label makes me uncomfortable. Tasting the definition, the words sound strange to me. I've never had such an arrangement before.
But I suddenly I understand why it works.
All the other boys gave me knots inside. He doesn't. I don't know why.
There's nothing wrong with FWBWB.
ReplyDeleteFWBSB, that could be a problem... ROFL
If someone makes you feel comfortable, that is a special thing. As long as the B part does not affect the F part, things can work.
Also don't fall into the trap of using a FWB as a reason not to find a relationship when you are ready.
I usually have doubts about this kind of thing -- I've seen almost no one pull it off successfully and this does concern me. But I will follow my heart, spend time with whoever and if I start to fall, reevaluate.
DeleteFunny, I've been having issues with labels lately as well. So do what I'm attempting and make up a new one that sounds better to you.
ReplyDelete*Special* friend? Or just call him a friend now and then when the 'benefits' come, call him a lover. ??? Sorry, my creativity tank is a bit empty at the moment.
I do like the term "lover." Not sure if I'm ready to use it just yet....
