Friends with benefits with my crush?
Hey everyone, my name is Andrea. So I was wondering if yall could give me your opinion about my little situation here. Ive been talking to this guy for a little over 6 months now. I was in a relationship when I met him but I left that relationship bc I wasnt feeling it anymore. After talking to this guy, my crush at the moment, he had confessed to me that he likes me. But after I left my relationship I told him I wanted to be single & I wanted to get to know him as friends. Well I ended up falling for him quicker than I thought. Weve hung out twice now and the second time we both basically decided to be friends with benefits. Idk kinda stupid right? The reason for that is b/c I still am not ready to be in a serious relationship yet. So, we decided that we could just be friends & get to know each other more over time while doing couple like things like kissing, holding hands,etc NOT sex tho. I am definitely not doing that unless weve officially have been dating for a while. Ugh I seriously dont even know what Im doing. Were both 21 btw. But what do yall think?

It seems that perhaps not being in a big hurry to grab the label maker and call it a relationship, is the right thing to do. It's likely just infatuation at first, feels like love, but fades over time. Perhaps just getting to know one another, learning about what each other likes, and taking things SLOW, without a serious commitment isn't such a bad thing at all.
@Sventek yeah I completely agree. Although I'd steer clear of calling it friends with benefits and rather just see how the relationship grows without a label! Friends with benefits to me insinuates that it isn't going to progress from there
