"Is friends with benefits better than nothing?"

You Said:
"I had a boyfriend for a couple of years, but he broke my heart…twice. I still have feelings for him, and he’s been flirting with me hardcore. He said he only wants to be friends with benefits right now, and build a relationship from there, but I don’t know if I can handle that! He’s so cute and funny, so maybe something with him is better than nothing?"

We Say:
What a sneaky, sneaky boy. Whenever a guy tries to slip you the FWB (friends with benefits) line, run for the hills, ladies. Here’s the sad truth, girly. He just wants to hook up with you, break your heart again, and move on to the next friendly filly. You’re not, we repeat, NOT going to get a relationship out of giving up the goods.

Now that we’ve got that straight, let’s have a little pause to reflect on self-respect. No matter how cute, funny, smart, rich, or god-like any silly boy is, it’s never worth losing your dignity for the off chance that he might want to date you…someday…after hooking up for awhile. Besides the fact that it’s never gonna happen (remember?), you don’t want to wait around for the hope that this fool will finally realize you’re worth the commitment of the BF/GF label. You’re too good for that, girl!
