Hey guys...
I moved to rustenburg a few months ago and while visiting my cousin I met his best friend and my cousin's girlfriend. They asked me to go out with them for the night and we had a lot of fun, then we made a habbit of it that the four of us (me, my cousin, his gf and best friend) hang out every weekend together. One night we stayed over at my new guy friend's place and watched movies and chatted, when we all went to bed, I had to share a bed with him since he didn't have a lot of place in his flat.

That's when we started making out and one thing led to another. We have been friends with benefits since. I overheard his sister telling him that when he askes me out to make us official that he should do it very romantically. The only thing is that I might be moving to another province next year...

I don't want to go into a relationship that will go sour after a few months but I also really like him and there is a chance that I might not move...

Please...any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

If the only negative is a move that MIGHT happen, then I say go for it and Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!...

WRT your possible move next year?
My mom always says "we'll cross that bridge when we get there"

Stellar advice because its not always wise to worry about tomorrow, all it usually does is rob us of today...

Sounds good to me. Just be honest and let him know if friends with benefits stops working for you.

As I see it, "dating" vs "friends with benefits" is a distinction without a difference.
