This is a rant a much as it is a question, what do you think of f*#k buddies or friends with benefits? Or rather, what is it that you think when your friend tells you they have one? 

That's the place I'm in right now, sort of wtf as much as I think "Well good for you friend!" But where my confusion grows is from when my friend talks about her friends with benefits partner. I personally have never gone through such a thing, so I don't really know if getting friendly with your friend is a yes or a no, either way I see no problem with such things, my problem mainly comes from my best friends constant need to talk about hers. It doesn't matter where we are or how we're communicating, be it in person or over the phone, if I communicate with her in any way I know our conversation will eventually lead to her telling me stories of "Big M" (I don't know why she calls him that as code, we both know his name).

Sure at first I was fine with it, my girl was excited for her little fling filled adventure, and like I said good for her, but she constantly talks about him, so much so you know that there is no way she can't have feelings for him and I didn't mind that she did at first, that was her choice, what her heart wanted and I can't control that in any shape or form. But besides the irritation I feel of having to hear about him every time I talk to her, my first real warning sign hit me today.

See these two have a past, he took her ity, she messed up the chance of a relationship between them etc etc and now they're having again and I had not yet thought of this. I never saw a problem with their relationship because whenever she talks about Big M, he doesn't just use her for her body as such, there is no "Hey I'm get here pronto" he takes her to nice places for it and gives her nice night out, without calling it a date. So because of that I never really saw anything bad in it.

But today, before our exam, my best friend told me about a conversation they had before, well two really. My best friend is a dreamer, she likes to imagine things and expect the best or the most of a situation. So when she had a dream about Big M taking her out on a proper date, one with feelings involved, she didn't hesitate to text him about it. And I was like ok that's fine. But then she proceeded to tell me something I had never thought of, they were a typical hook up, he didn't want feelings or attachments to be involved, so she panicked when he didn't answer her.

Is my best friend making a mistake? That is my worry, is she only going to get her heart broken?
