Friends with no benefits

Men and Women are complex; but I guess they're called opposite sexes because they are opposite. Over the years relationships between the sexes has moved far from the categories of Married, Lovers or Friends to all sorts of sub-categories.

The most well known one is of course - "Friends with Benefits." This is a state where a man and woman exist as friends but once in a while have sex. Unfortunately, I seem to have unwittingly fallen into this category with 24 year old. I don’t know when it happened, but basically he is getting all of the benefits of being in a relationship: companionship, sex, seeing each other regularly, having fun; without any of the ‘drawbacks’, like being committed to someone else with a view to the future and not sleeping with anyone else.

The thing is, if he said to me ‘we behave like boyfriend and girlfriend, why don’t we get back together?’ I should say no. We broke up for a reason. But we have a great time together, why should I ruin it by being concerned about what we call each other? I’ll tell you why. Because I deserve it. I deserve to be in a relationship with someone committed to me with a view to the future and not sleeping with anyone else. Iif in a few weeks he says to me ‘We have to stop sleeping together cos I have a new girlfriend.’ I will be really, really upset.

It’s a stupid, silly situation – that I wish I could talk to him about, but am too worried to do so in case he freaks out and ‘dumps’ me by text again.

Anyway, guess who texted and asked if I wanted to have sex? Mr Bored Housewives. I played him at his own game though, telling him I would text him on a Saturday so we could arrange a time to meet up, and then didn’t text him at all. I hope that gives him the message.

Also I met a cute guy last night at a party – don’t know how old he is, but he asked me if I was into ‘action’. If I was a sick puppy I would have sex with him so I could casually tell 24 year old about it. So far I am trying hard not to be a sick puppy. Wish me luck.
