A Question

It can spiral down from there if you are not careful. If I was you I would definitely avoid taking such risks.

 

Better to be a man of integrity and the master of ones senses. As Awakening123 said, this could escalate into worse acting out behaviors, and you could end up in a worse place. Find a nice committed relationship. You are worth that.

 

Follow your heart ... deep down, you'll know what to do .

 

It really depends on you. Like you even said yourself, you can see how it can be bad but you also see the point. Some people will tell you not to do it and to avoid it, other will say it's fine.

Sometimes it can turn into a serious relationship. Sometimes one person gets attached while the other doesn't (in which case someone gets hurt). Sometimes you both like it for a while then get tired of it and move on.

If you think you could be the person to get hurt, I would avoid it. If you don't think you can get hurt by it, decide what you want out of it. Just the benefits for a while then move on? Do you want to get in a serious relationship?

Figure out your goals and then see how they would fit into your specific situation. Then decide if friends with benefits is right for you, at this period in your life.
