It's supposed to be the ultimate easy relationship- someone you already know, trust and have fun with...and now you get to make out too? Sounds perfect, doesn't it? Maybe in a make-believe world where there were no such things as feelings. Friends with benefits have the same worry of one partner becoming more attached than the other. The ambiguous nature of the relationship also decreases openness and coincides with a lack of passion and commitment. Sounds to me like "relationships without all the good stuff" would be a better name for it.
In my four years in college, I've never seen a friends with benefits relationship turn grey. Though many college students don't see it this way, I firmly believe that this is an extremely complicated relationship where at least one person wants more from the relationship. What's good for one person isn't necessarily always good for the other, even though they might think it is in the beginning. Someone always catches feelings.
Furthermore, if you are currently friends with this person and decide to take it to the next level, just for fun, having casual sex most likely will ruin your friendship permanently. Now you've lost a good friend in addition to being rejected by a person you've fallen for.
Seriously...what is so great about this so-called "perfect" agreement that always ends in nothing but tears?

All your pictures are of white people. Where are the Asian women? Aren't there any black people at Towson?
