Question Hi Matt. I am jack and i am 13 and in eighth grade. I have just broke up with my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago. My best friend who is a girl just recently asked me if i wanted to be friends with benefits with her. (benefits as in making out and feeling each other) I really like her but it feels just a little weird and i'm a little afraid to make the first move. I also face the problem of where i should go with her since she's not my girlfriend and i am confussed. how should i make the first move?
Answer Hi Jack.
Okay, wow. "Friends With Benefits"?. I've personally never cared much for this term or idea. But my advice for you is,, DON'T. You are too young, and this girl is too young too. Her even ASKING/SUGGESTING this, just showes how immature her thinking can be. I'm very sorry, but neither of you need to be making out/sexually feeling and touching eachother.
Nonono-That's a bad idea.. This type of behavior will be bad, and lead to other places such as sex eventually.. Whether it's intended or not--> if you WERE to, I know that NEITHER of you are ready for a baby/kid at your ages. You CAN still be friends with her, yes. But NOT friends with benefits or even anything close. I suggest you just stay friends and if she keeps asking-> start avoiding her. She should have more respect for herself than what she is letting off..
If there are any further questions, or would like more explanations from me, please ask..
