GUYS | DEAR CAROL

The Scoop: Why you shouldn't settle for "friends with benefits"


 
I’ve gone out with this guy a few times, but it never worked out, even though we have so much in common. Seems when we’re a couple, we don’t talk. When we’re not a couple, we talk all the time. He’s sweet, cute and funny. Is it possible for us to be “friends with benefits”?


Dear Seeker,

Not a good idea. Think about how you might feel if you two were “friends with benefits” and then he asked out another girl for Saturday night? Bad, probably. So why settle? If you two want to go out, make an effort to blast through the awkwardness. If you really aren’t compatible as a couple, then be friends. But don’t complicate matters by adding making-out to the mix. The “benefits” you refer to will feel better with someone you are comfortable enough sharing your emotions with, not just your kisses.

Don't have a friends with benefits relationship! It'll just lead to hurt and stress!

Dont get a FWB. I know people who have had those kinds of relationships and it gives you a bad rep because guys talk more than we think. And the article is so right about sharing your intimate moments with a person you care about and not someone just for a quick thrill. But then I know some girls and thats all they want is a FWB, but I dont think its for most of us.

Hey girly, I read your sitch. I don't think its weird to ask your cousin to hang, he is family after all. Get a whole group together so you can both meet new people. xoxo.

Our school semi formal is coming up soon and I was hoping this one guy I'm friends with would ask me. But it turns out he won't cuz my BGF, who he's also friends with, apparently has a major crush on me! I don't like him that way, but one of my friends has a major crush on my BGF, but we're pretty sure he doesn't like her like that. What should I do? And what advice should I give my friend?

 

 Hey girly, just tell your friend to flirt. You know your BGF the best so tell her what kind of topics he's interested in so she can bring it up. Is he really into football? She can ask him about that. As for him crushing on you, you'll just have to let him down easy. If he asks you to the formal, just explain to him that he's a great best guy friend, but your crushing on someone else and your hoping he asks you. And then cross your fingers that your crush asks you! Be sure to talk to him a lot and get flirting. xoxo
