To me the good thing is that he can develop feelings for you but the bad thing is he can be using you which i know is not true believe me. Most couples become friends with benefits before leading into a relationship but i still want to know if thats a good idea in the first place?? Thank you =)

I've never known or heard of friends with benefits without having sex.

 Hey
first of all i doubt too much a friends with benefits thing could lead into a good relationship though im not saying its impossible.
Friends with benefits are ok when you want nothing serious, cause if you did you would start a serioyus relationship instead, im not against friends with benifits since i had a few in the past when i was looking for fun. The thing is 'not to fall in love with your friend' cause when that happens its real hell if they dont feel the same way about u
--- one good thing about being friends with benefits
... You dont have to commit to this person, you can do what you want with your life and they cant complain about it and also if you find someone you want to have something serous with, u can do it with total freedom
---- one bad thing
... You might fall in love with this person, theres nothing bad with that as long as they feel the same way about you but if they dont it really feels like crap cause they might not want anything serious with you

 Friends With Benefits... but without sex? What's the "benefit" you're talking about then? I'm not sure what you define as FWB.
I wouldn't go into a FWB expecting it to turn into a real relationship, but I suppose... Good: Physical casual fun as long as that's all you are looking for. Bad: Emotions tend to get played with and hearts get broken.

FWB tend not to work out for women as much as men. Yes, there are some men who get hurt in a FWB relationship, but generally it's the women who get hurt, as many will tell you on this site. Men can separate sex from emotion far more easily than women, so they are able to cut a woman out more easily.
- Most FWB DO NOT become couples at all. In fact, it's more likely that whoever does the dumping in a FWB relationship will move on straight to the person they will marry or at least live with.
- If you think that by being in a FWB with a guy will make him fall for you, you're wrong. He won't.
The upsides are there is no commitment at all (so you can do your own thing and see other people), and the sex. But that is it. Once feelings get involved, chances are high that someone will get hurt.
Is it a good idea? Sure, if you just want sex and nothing more. That's all it's about. If you want more (say you fancy a guy), then don't do it. You'll end up either used, or dumped.
