Can you remain friends if you cross the line and become friends with benefits than one decides they don't want the benefits anymore?

Yep, My former FWB is no longer a FWB but now my BBF

Yep...depends on how much your friendship means to you. If the friendship is true, nothing can come between

Depends on the maturity level of the two involved.

The whole point is that its a temporary solution to begin with.

wow never thought of it that way thank you

no

Yes....all friends should do this

Not all are capable of this

yea states away

you know, i'm still friends with most of my exes, FWB included.

i had to take a step back from a couple...they allowed emotions to enter into the mix, so i pulled away for a couple of years and now it's all good.

Here I was tryin to be serious

Any two friends can have a moment, and become lovers.
Depending on that time.
But if two have been lovers and one feels that no longer a good idea.
Then if they can BOTH handle that and move on,,cool,BUT there are some who will not LIKE THAT, and seek to still TRY to get the other one to be more. And THEN, ya got to hurt their feelings and the friendship.
I hope in your case it all works out fine.
PERSONALLY, I have ALWAYS HATED the term Friends with benefits.
What are ALL OF US HERE??
Strangers who become friends,,now IF we were to meet another and become better friends, and date, then we BOTH have sex and THATS CALLED LIFE! And trust me EVERYONE who has dated someone from here has attemped to have or has had sex with them..
To give a nick-name to an honest act of love and respect is degrading to me, but hey,,lol,I am a nut...lol

Is there something ur not telling us

well not really ,,just had a friend like this and he said we were not dating just hanging out same thing in a way things went over the line one night and did for over seven months when other frineds started finding out he lied and said it never happen and i wanted more than he did ...so we just stopped being anything

OMO but that wasn't a real FWB relationship then

you know, i find that these "relationships" work best when both parties agree ahead of time to the terms.

if both of us know that it's just sex, one partner can't later profess to have thought it was dating.

I agree with u, there's has to be 'rules' set down both parties agree to or it could go bad very bad

than what was it?????

I'm gonna be blunt so please take no offense Hun, sounds to me like he saw u as a booty call

none taken i guess i was a fool ,,,sometimes i don't see the real picture only what i want too
