Your heart will more than likely get hurt, txt. You do deserve more.

Why hopes i never would have imagined

I had a best friend with benefits once... I married him Seriously though, there were no benefits until after we were dating.

I don't really understand how you can be sleeping with your best friend and thinking about dating someone else at the same time.

No, typically Duck Muddy relationships aren't between good friends. If you give it that name, it means you are only there for the sex, period. Duck Muddy is different than friends with benefits, which is different than boyfriend. Txt's sounds like a boyfriend, but without wanting the commitment of calling him a boyfriend. This way they are both free to play around. I'm not saying they are, but they are free to.

I don't understand it either, but these things are pretty common now.

'

I will have to disagree in my mind they are the same and often between good friends who want no relationships is all.
