Girls With Soft Hearts Should Stay Away From Friends With Benefits

Girls With Soft Hearts Should Stay Away From Friends With Benefits

Girls with soft hearts should never agree to friends with benefits with someone they’re secretly interested in dating. They should never spread little white lies in order to get closer to someone special. They should never act inauthentic in the hopes it will bring them happiness.

Girls with soft hearts should never be friends with benefits because it’s hard to cope with the fact that, although you’re good friends who have good chemistry (qualities you value highly in a romantic relationship), you aren’t destined to be anything more than friends. That is where your journey ends. No matter how badly you want to take the next step, you’re going to be blocked from moving forward. You’re always going to be within arm’s length of what you want — but you’re never going to get it.

Girls with soft hearts should never be friends with benefits because it’s hard to accept the connection you’ve built is only temporary. It’s hard to have such a good time with someone you care about deeply, all while having a mutual understanding it’s not going to last. It’s going to end soon. They’re going to move on. You’re going to move on. You’re going to become strangers who knew each other in the most intimate ways.

Girls with soft hearts should never be friends with benefits because it’s not worth the heartache. Right now, you might feel like you would do anything to get closer to this person who has captured your heart, but physical proximity isn’t going to give you the emotional connectivity you crave. It might even make you feel lonelier. Whatever way you look at it, your FWB situation is going to be unbalanced. It’s not going to work in your favor. It’s going to give your person everything they want without bringing you the right kind of fulfillment.

Girls with soft hearts should never be friends with benefits because it creates an odd dynamic. You can kiss this person, but you can’t hold hands with this person. You can send this person a late night text, but you can’t send them a good morning text. You can tell this person how attractive they are, but you can’t tell them how in love you are. You have to walk a delicate line and it can be hard to stop yourself from slipping.

Girls with soft hearts should never be friends with benefits because it probably isn’t going to end in a happily ever after. It probably isn’t going to work out the way it does in the movies. It probably isn’t going to get you a step further with this wonderful person you’d like to call your own.

If you’re on the same page as your person, if you’re both okay with something casual, then don’t stop yourself from having fun. Let yourself explore. Let yourself run wild. But if you’re secretly interested in dating this person and they’re only interested in something casual, you should never agree to a friends with benefits relationship, especially if you have a soft heart. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
