There has been a lot of hype lately around the concept of friends with benefits"; there is of course a more crude way of putting this phrase, but I shall keep this piece PG for my own piece of mind. It's an interesting relationship: Friends with that little bit extra on the side. But we all either have entered into this type of relationship or know somebody who has, and the sad truth is that while one is happy to stay within the relatively safe confines of friends with benefits, there's always one person that wants more. One half is inevitably going to get hurt, and when that happens well, you can pretty much flush that once-sacred friendship down the drain.
Friends with Benefits in Hollywood
Hollywood and its beautiful people have shown us two great examples of the friends with benefits fairytale recently, Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman in No Strings Attached and Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in Friends with Benefits. But doesn't everything seem simpler in Hollywood and hell if we all looked like that bunch everything would be easy as pie, wouldn't it? Now, Mila and Justin seem to be replaying the same scenario in real-life, rumors are buzzing that the pair are secretly in a relationship. Now that Justin has broken off his long-term affair with Jessica Biel, it seems the pair will soon announce their status as Hollywood's latest 'It couple'.
Can Men and Women ever be Just Friends?
So here comes the age old adage can men and Women ever be just friends? Or does sex always get in the way? In Hollywood, the ending is predictable both characters eventually realize their love for one another and transgress from the easy territory of friends to the painful plateau of "he used to be my best friend!!" It sounds sweet on paper doesn't it? A lovely anecdote to tell the grandkids how you met. But the sad truth is that you will always be friends first, lovers later.
A True Story
A case in point a good friend (let's call her Allie) decided to get involved with her best friend of nine years after a bitter break-up with her then-boyfriend. Turns out this friend has always carried a secret torch for Allie and he got pretty intense very quickly. Where she was just looking for a rebound flirtation, he was looking for marriage and babies. I am sorry to say they no longer speak.
A Happy Ending?
Is it not better to become best friends as you grow to love one another, and gradually get to know each other’s quirks? Knowing absolutely everything about your other half before you get involved is a bit, well, boring. I'd rather that sprinkle of mystery. You may get a pleasant surprise.
