It’s bound to happen. That cozy “friends with benefits” relationship is suddenly shaken up by (insert ominous music here)…another person. You can’t really blame your “friend” for finding someone else. But your fragile ego is going to take a hit. Tons of questions will go through your mind, and you’re left wondering what he/she has that you don’t. It’s still a break-up because, no matter how you defined that no strings attached relationship, it is over.
It takes a certain level of maturity to continue the friendship, knowing that you’ve been usurped. Does it even make sense to do so? What happens when the person your friend is dating finds out about your little arrangement? How would you feel if you were in that other person’s shoes?
Tread lightly, my dating friends. Those seemingly harmless relationships can end up ruining your friendship with the person and take a toll on both of your dating lives. Fun and games are great until feelings get in the way. And they inevitably do. Not only your feelings for your friend, but also your own level of self worth and confidence.
If you are serious about finding that perfect person, your dating life should continue to move you toward that goal. Be confident that you will find a meaningful relationship, and don’t waste time with instant gratification.
