Now I never knew what this "Friends with benefits", thing was until I was divorced and was approached by a male friend with this proposition. I looked at him with the " get the f__k away from me glare. I admit to not knowing what that was all about and now that I do, I laugh at how my inexperience was center stage... lol.
I can honestly say that I was hesitant of this friends with benefits status, only I know myself and if I truly like a man, I will be hooked and want more. I must say that sometimes I do have to talk myself out of making a fool of myself sometimes, reiterating to myself the verbal agreement that my male friend and I made. sometimes I secretly wish we never made such an agreement, but its been a minute and I have come to accept and actually enjoy the freedom to do what I want and date freely with no drama. Whenever we are in the same zip code its him and I and at this stage in my life I am cool with it.
I guess it depends on what you want in your life at that particular moment and if it is a situation that you can handle. It forced me to take a strong hard look at myself and see what i really wanted and I am glad to say that I am truly happy! Actually much happier than the last few years before I got divorced.
Friends with benefits, taboo or possible future reality for today' America?

That's how it usually starts,but holding back your true feelings for someone can result in madness and regrets,Thats why you should keep it real.
ReplyDeleteActually, I have revealed my true feelings to my male friend and to my suprise he didnt run or decide that he was going to ignore me. We seem to be in a way closer and I think(and pray) that things may be going in a very good direction. So I may no longer be single in the near future.
