Do "Friends With Benefits" end well?

Question

I'm currently in a "Friends With Benefits" situation (protected).. However I'm massively falling for him. And he acts so loving towards me, cuddling on the sofa every night, he falls asleep on me, won't let go of me as we sleep in bed together, I cook him dinners, do him lunches.. It's only been happening for a month but I just feel myself falling for him. Anyway today, I confronted him and said I like him a lot, and we should end it if he doesn't want a relationship... He said he hasn't caught any feelings for me yet, but he enjoys being with me each night, & I'm such a nice girl etc... But he doesn't want to jump into a relationship yet... And can't gaurentee he'll end up falling for me. But he doesn't know where it will go.

Shall I quit while I'm ahead or continue seeing how things go? I'm so crazy about him, I know it's quick but he's the best thing that's happened to me in a long long time. And I'd do anything for him.. I'm upset thinking it could be the end just because I'm rushing him... Does things like this ever end up in love?

Answer

That's a relationship. Friends don't even do all of that for each other. You need to step back or tell him what you want. As my mom always said, "why buy the milk when you're getting the cow for free"... you're basically giving him everything he wants without having a title.

Answer

I'd distance myself. You aren't in a friends with benefits situation. That's practically a relationship. I "knew" with my husband almost immediately and I don't think it takes over a month of basically being in a relationships to catch feelings for someone.

Answer

I was in one just like yours. I started falling for him and he was so loving. We would cuddle and he would do bf things with me like cook together and go on road trips and our sex was amazing!! BUT we were friends with benifits. We agreed from the beginning that we did not want a relationship. I told him I was liking him later on and he was nice about it but told me he didn't want a relationship. Anyway, in the end we both started seeing other people. I looked for a guy who wants a relationship and he started another friend with benifits with some other girl. We were still friends a year later but would never sleep with each other. But after that year we never talk anymore, I think he's married now to a single mom. And I'm a single mom now, so what I'm trying to say is: he means what he says and he's not ready for a relationship. Just move on to the next guy. :)

Answer

In some cases it works out. My case did. 3 years and a 9 month old.

Answer

I was in a long term friend with benefits. HE caught feelings for me about 4 months into the relationship. I never did. He's moved to another state (back in February of this year) we still talk frequently,though not everyday like before he moved.  He's got family members here in my state so he's back here about two times a year. But he's a married man. He's now,working on strengthening his marriage. I'm supporting this. I bear NO ill will towards his wife or him. I sincerely hope that they will have it in them to make it. *I don't need any bashing about the affair* Most friend with benefits don't work out because someone almost always gets hurt. Or catches feelings and it is a mess. Good luck

Answer

Yeah If he's saying he doesn't want a relationship I reccomend distancing urself. If u continue to get attached u will get hurt. And don't cook and stuff for fwb!! 🙅🙅😰😰Those are wifey/gf privileges. 💑💑Lol

With my past fwb we kinda had rules. We only hung out for sex. When we were together, we're together so we did cuddle too. Slept over sometimes. Watched movies sometimes. But we barely hung out. Texted only once in a while. And if I wasn't about to get married wed still be friends. But had to cut em off lol 😅

Answer

Run for the hills those things never really work out sadly

Answer

He sounds like he's keeping you at a distance because he doesn't want to commit but he wants all the benefits. All the cuddles and meals are relationship activities. Get out now and show him what he's missing. If he cares about you he will show you. Good luck x

Answer

I'd get out now. He's telling you things could happen in the future just to keep you around for the sex now if he says he has no feelings believe him

Answer

Not really I was in a friends with benefits he definitely didn't want more but I started having feelings every time I would call or text he would be like what do I want 
When he was not seeing anyone he was constantly blowing up my phone 
With that said we gave each other a ultimatum if we didn't talk for a month then that was it 
Needless to say it's been almost 3 months and nothing not one text
