4 Signs You’re Having Feelings For Your Friend With Benefits

December 17, 2018

Having a friend with benefits has its… well, benefits. You get to have a fantastic time with a partner without dealing with all the relationship drama. It’s perfect for people that are in-between relationships or those who simply want something physical.

But things can get complicated if you start having feelings for your friend with benefits. Usually, the smart thing to do when this happens, especially when you know the feelings will not be reciprocated, is to end the physical relationship immediately. But how do you notice the problem before you’re too deep into it? Watch out for these signs:

1. You always want to know what he’s up to

You’re curious about where he hangs out and who he hangs out with. Even if you don’t ask him directly, the fact that you’re becoming more interested in him could mean your heart is involved.

2. You’re getting too friendly

Sure, a ‘friends with benefits’ arrangement does not have to be about just sex. You can actually have conversations with each other. But you have to be extra careful if this person becomes your confidant. When you go from talking about the weather to talking about your deep tragic past, hopes, and dreams, you may be building an emotional connection that could leave you heartbroken.

3. You fantasize about something more

Your daydreams are now having a more romantic plot. You imagine him declaring his undying love for you or going down on one knee to propose.

4. You feel like something is missing

In a mon.mous relationship, you expect your partner to fulfill your emotional, as well as physical needs. So if you’re starting to feel dissatisfied with your friends with benefits arrangement, it could be because you want more than your partner is offering. It’s possible that it’s the emotional connection you’re missing and that’s a sign you’re investing your heart in the relationship.
