I would not do this. Being intimate with this guy is only going to bring back feelings and put false ideas into your head. Friends with benefits will only bring you more pain.

I agree. If U R friends w/ benefits, it will only cause U more pain, cause it will make U want more w/ this person. If U think U can jus strickly B jus friends w/ benefits, & not feel anythin else 4 him, then thats a different story.

About 3 yrs. ago B4 I got w/ me bf, this guy and I was friends w/ benefits, & I feel N love w/ him. I wanted so much more w/ this guy, & he claimed he did 2, but cause of certian reason we couldn't B N a real relationship. I swear I cried so much over this guy. B N friends w/ benefits wasn't worth tha pain.

thank you guys i really needed yalls advice

I think go for it. If you think you can handle it emotionally, go for it. Just do not fool yourself into thinking you guys can have a real relationship.

eh, the problem is that someone might think they can handle it emotionally but it just doesn't work out that way-- the whole situation could easily backfire because she had feelings for him in the past.

utchic2, I would just find someone else. If you've had feelings for this guy in the past its going to make this really tough for you. Is the idea of getting back together with him something that might come up?-- I don't know anything about your past relationship so I don't really know how deep your feelings were.

WHOAH! ok i dated a guy in highschool.. and its been about 3 years since then.. we've hooked up multiple times since the break up.. and then we didnt talk.. and then randomly we both ended relationships with other ppl.. and we randomly agreed to do the FWB thing.. its been about 3 or so months we've been doing the FWB thing.. at first it was a little rocky.. then it got smoother.. but now im just losing all interest in it.. I think its a stupid idea.. sex with your ex should be spontaneous.. and if you both know you don't want to "be together" you just want sex from eachother.. just ask yourself this: "is the sex really worth it?" and if you answer yourself with "no ive had better or i dont want to waste my time doing this." then you probably shouldn't do FWB with an ex.. FWB isn't suppose to be confusing but it can be with an ex.. although you know its nothing more than sex.. it's still a waste of time I think.. go get some fresh meat girl!!!! not ex meat!

I would no to do it. It's not a good situation to keep tampering with at all.
