I was reading Picard's Womern's of the Female Gender thread and got to thinking about this. Has anyone here had successful experiences with the whole "friends with benefits" thing? People always seem to think it's a bad idea, and that someone is always going to end up hurt.
From my own experience: I've had a couple friends with benefits situations that were fantastic. We didn't like each other enough to date, so we just broke it off whenever one of us actually started seeing someone. No hard feelings on either side. I'm still friends with them, but since we're all in relationships now, of course the 'benefits' part isn't happening anymore.
I can't be the only one who's had a good experience with this...I mean, post bad experiences too if you like, I don't just want to hear one side.
