Dear Em & Lo,

I have been reading lots of stuff, but not really getting the answer I want, so here goes: Can a booty call turn into him and I just being friends? Not boyfriend girlfriend, just friends.

— Friend, No Benefits

  1. As long as it was clear to both of you from the beginning that this is a casual situation, why not?! The whole point of friends-with-benefits is that you’re not oblidged to keep going.

    I have a close friend who was with benefits for a while four years ago. At some point I lost interest and we went back to being just friends, which we still are. In fact, I think our friendship is better due to that past, because we are able to communicate very openly with one another, especially when talking about OTHER love interests!
