I'm speaking from observation rather than experience. I'm a human nature nut so I'm pretty observant when it comes to how people interact with each other in certain scenarios's. From what i've seen throughout my 2 years in the AU and my friends intimate relations with other friends, a "friends with benefits" relationship can only work if the two mutually plan on making progress in case/when feelings do occur. Sooner or later someone always catches feelings, its inevitable. If you just want a cut buddy and ya'll basically do everything couples do minus the commitment then 99/100 times it'll end up in disaster. Its rare for it to ever stay the way you want it. Personally, i say don't even go that route with a friend if no feelings are involved, i've seen quite a few friendships go because of that. You don't have to put a title on things but do expect some kind of emotional commitment sooner or later.
I can say so much more in regards to this topic but i have a bad habit of getting carried away and writing dissertations on here lol.

I could do it...you just have to know limits
From experience, when you are single, its the best thing since sliced bread. But once one of you gets whipped, the s*** hits the fan and the fun is out the door.
You can't have a friend w/ benefits, because it will eventually be messed up with emotions.
Well I can only speak from experience and feelings did start to develop!
