the girl next door, friend with benifits? (girls please answer)?

I would just say go for it Matt, even if it makes things awkward, which it won't btw, it's better than not knowing you know.

I would say friends with benefits is the best option for you guys. Lots of times people fall for their best friends, it's not abnormal. You have to just ask her how she feels about you, and if she says she likes you or whatever then explain how you wouldn't want dating to ruin the friendship but feel the same, and then the friends with benefits thing might come up. You guys are already on the way with the whole holding hands in the movie thing, so I'm sure you're both feeling exactly the same way. All things happen for a reason, and if your meant to date it will happen, but if you truly value your friendship you will wait until things fall into place. Hope that helps :) good luck!

Sounds to me like you have some feelings for her. If you pretty much grew up with her, then you probably know her better than anyone. I strongly suggest that you not ruin a possible good thing before it even begins. I think the whole friends with benefits is a bad idea. You obviously care about her feelings if you are on here looking for advice. If you are interested in knowing how she feels, ask her. So, many people try to figure things out by body language or by asking other people. Best way is to ask the source.

Yea friends with benefits is a bad idea. Sounds like she really likes you. You should date her because dating is when you decide whether you are physically and romantically attracted or just physically attracted. Then, you can decide if you want to be with her or not. I don't think I know any girls who would want to loose their virginity to a friend with benefits.

Take it slowly. It will give you time to understand your feelings for her and you won't risk making any huge mistakes that you will come to regret.

cuddle with her again and see if she does the same. take it all step by step.
