What's you opinion on friends with benefits?
I like this guy, and he likes me, but we live too far apart to have a relationship (two hours). So we are thinking of being friends with benefits. Do these ever work? Do they destroy a friendship? What is your opinion?
We will see each other about once a moth to go one a date/hang out/make out. We wont have sex so there is no worry about a baby in the near future. I'm 16 and he's 17. I was also thinking it could be just a "summer fling" but since i can't see him until summer is almost over, I don't know how that would work.

ive had friends with benefits before. but i have no problem seperating feelings from sex. if your gonna do it all i can say keep in mind its nothing more than sex. and considering you said you liked him i see you getting hurt in the near future. although i dunno what kind of benefits you can get from a two hour distance.

It will work for a while but then one person in the relationship will want more and the other won't. It is a classic problem and it often does destroy friendships. If you ever want to have a true relationship with this person I wouldn't suggest starting as friends with benefits because it is nearly impossible to evolve to a normal relationship from that level

i dont think it'll work.. it sounds really ambiguous. with love, you shouldnt be so irresolute. either you two are together, in a real relationship, or you are just friends. i mean think about it. what if you find someone else later on? will you have to tell him that you dont like him anymore? What if he gets angry about it? you're really only setting yourselves up for a disaster.
if you guys really do like each other, then go ahead and get into a long distance relationship, and really try to make it work. but you shouldnt go halfway with love. it'll only leave both of you hurt and confused in the end.

Definitely a bad idea because one of the people in MOST cases ends up falling which leaves another person hurt. It can also complicate friendships. Good luck!

i think it would be best if you guys just stay as friend :] and friend with benefit is a bad idea who knows what if something happen like you got pregnant? how would that work would he be there for you? etc there's many reason so i hope you re-think the whole friend with benefit :]

how are you going to be friends w/ benefits if you can't even see each other.
Anywho, sounds dumb. Someone is going to get hurt, most likely you.
