For the majority of you, this isn't going to be a surprise but for the few hold on to your seats: 'friends with benefits' relationships do inded exist and continue to be very prominent in our society, particularly on teens while on college campuses.
This FWB relationships raises many question that have been recently sparked by all teens, friends, and other couple friends out there. A friendship equipped with romance,dating, and handholding seems far fetched, but maybe everyone can decide whether you want it or not, right? But even if it turns into a relationship later, that's acceptable, right? But take caution, whatever the case may be, never settle less for than you deserve. Spoiler alert to those of you who are conservative enough or an old-fashioned type of person. Maybe you may need to watch: No Strings Attached, Love and Other Drugs..:) or Friends With Benefits which in all of the couples not-so-surprisingly end up together and live happily ever after. Shocked, right? Even Dave Matthew says, "A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or aother they will fall for each other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe forever."
I agree although in reality it is certainly not the plots of a billion dollar movies or fairytale love songs, the topic is about two individuals, getting along with each other- friends and being a couple as well? or the other way around?...Needless to say but maybe this happens since sometimes a real relationship becomes unrealistic. It's friendship and not relationship, some even tweets "if you're my booty call, don't text me to say happy valentine's day. It's not like that."You get the picture entertaining, but degrading nonetheless. I just wonder how many FWB relationship last.
Say, are the people involved really friends? The meaning of the word 'friend' may depend on the case, but if used incorrectly, someone may be misguided into believing that there is a meaningful relationship.
The bigger question comes out: Can two people actually be friends with benefits without becoming emotionally involved? To acquire some insights I tried reading some blogs and responses on blogs which helped me gathered a percentage that say 53% said it is not possible to be in a FWB without emotional attachment, 89% have been in an FWB relationship and 60% involved in FWB that became emotionally involved.
Some say, it never work out. There's someone always gets attached. Others say it's possible depends on the people involved. A woman said biggest mistake of her life. Someone always has feelings even if they're hiding them. Another man said FWB is tragedy for girls who are biologically wired to be more emotionally attached, physical relationships will inevitably lead to some kind of attachment. It can be fun at first, but both should be careful with the friend you choose. A friend of mine said "people who spend time together share memories, are friends and are physically attracted for each other will naturally start to become attached."
It interests me much when everyone seems to understand the danger of being friends and with benefits, yet the majority continues to be involved in this type of relationship. So what's the appeal? Maybe it's the convenience of both parties, maybe it's the lack of pressure or even the idea of no strings attached or maybe less commitment. As of the 60 percent of those surveyed who became emotionally involved could attest the FWB relationship is not always that simple. There is always the risk of being set up for heartache, jealousy or even losing the so-called 'friendship' or worst end up self injury.
So, why settle? After all, you should never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be his or her option. It's time to turn off "Can't Be Friends" and turn up some Beyonce. With that said, I wonder how the other percentage feels about FWB relationship and to those couple friends engage to this relationship - I wonder how long they can play the game, I am hoping a win-win situation here....
