It is sad how the dating scene has changed.....guess there is a good point to keeping yourself for marriage.....that way there is NO CONFUSION because there wouldn't be any "Friends with benefits".....it would be "friends" only & if you want "benefits"....it comes with commitment & NOT BEFORE.

I understand the feelings that you experience with this....it just really does prove that sex with a person does create a connection especially for women that is not always wanted to be acknowledged....not so much with men unless they do hold the same values......as it has been throughout the centuries.

Wondering if the emotional pain is really worth having "friends with benefits"?.....or are the other values worth holding onto? Maybe going through these experiences will allow you to more realistically assess your emotions in future relationships....meaning that this could have been a good experience to have as you will be stronger & know yourself better for your next relationship.
