The Friends-With-Benefits Trap – What To Do When A Man Only Wants You For Sex

Are you currently involved in a "friends with benefits" relationship? Was it fun at first but now you're finding it harder and harder to keep the sex separate from your feelings of love? Are you driving yourself crazy because you are falling more and more in love but he doesn't feel the same way? It can be very difficult for a woman to stay involved in a friends with benefits situation. But getting out, can be even harder. The Problem With One-Night Stands It all seemed like a great idea in the beginning. You were already friends with him and this was a way to have a casual relationship without the need to go out and try to meet someone. One night stands can be fun once in a while, but it can be a lot of work to always have to be on the look-out for a new guy. At least with this friends ...

Philosophy Can Help Us Become Better Friends

Friday essay: how philosophy can help us become better friends. Friends, family, lovers – these are three mainstays in our intimate lives. We typically expect familial relationships to be solid, essentially for life. In our romantic lives, we search for the “one” to be with for life. Friendships seem less important, at least in comparison. It is easy to think about friends as people who come and go with the seasons of life. This could be a massive miscalculation. There is a case to be made that friendship is not the third wheel to these other, more significant relationships. Losing friends can be extremely painful. I was working as an ordained minister in the Anglican Church when I gave up my faith and ran off with a fellow church worker (who is still the love of my life). This had profoun...

Without Making Things Worse — Here Are Four Ways To Have Hard Conversations With Your Friends

Four ways to have hard conversations with your friends – without making things worse. It’s painful to watch someone you care about make what you perceive as bad life choices – we all want what’s best for our loved ones. This can be particularly hard when they are dating someone you don’t think is good, or right for them. Swifties (fans of Taylor Swift) have experienced this recently when Taylor Swift was reported to be dating famed bad boy and “problematic” favourite Matt Healy from the band The 1975. Some fans form parasocial relationships with famous figures like Swift – this is where they feel like they have a close personal relationship with a celebrity and feel invested in them, while the celebrity has no idea who they are. Taylor Swift’s actions are visible for public dissection and ...

Are There Good Reasons To Stay Friends With Your Ex?

A breakup is always a challenging time. Often both parties are in very different stages of readiness; one may have been waiting years for the right time to walk away, whilst the other may have felt that things were relatively fine, sticking with the mindset, 'better the devil you know!' Relationship counselling may have been a valuable way of managing the negative emotions experienced during the breakup of the relationship. It can help with understanding each other's viewpoints, even when the relationship is irretrievable. however, choosing not to continue living together doesn't mean that there aren't good reasons to stay friends with your ex, especially if you've both learned to be more respectful of each other's points of view. Many practical matters can further exacerbate the situati...

Get A Boyfriend – 5 Tell-Tale Signs You’re More Than Friends

Are you tired of being single and wish you could get a boyfriend? Is there someone you like but can't tell if you're more than friends? Most relationships are built on friendship, which entails trust and respect. You may be buddies now but somewhere along the way, your friendship develops into something more-something deeper and more romantic.

Your Real Friends, Who Are They?

Who do you refer to as your friends? Is it the person who spends the most time with you? Or the person who is always there in times of trouble? Is this a real good definition of a friend or only a construed meaning of what a real friend should be? We could look up the meaning in a dictionary, but anyone could do that. And that won't change the answer you have inside your own thoughts. What do you truly feel a real friend is, what do you believe yourself a true friend to be. Reason why I bring this up because, someone I once believed to be a good friend of mine, when I really paid close attention too, was not a very good friend to me. My definition of a friend is someone who has similar views and beliefs close to your own. Someone you can relate to and who you believe understands how you fe...

Starting Again, But Where Are My Friends?

Have you ever changed school, moved home, left one job for another and realized that by doing so you're starting again and leaving all your friends behind? Going away to university, getting divorced, moving on are often exciting times but can be full of trepidation nonetheless. Whilst we may have considered many factors the impact on our friendship groups may be something we didn't fully appreciate until much later down the line. Starting again can be an apprehensive time anyway; having to learn where everything is, where we're supposed to be, what we should be doing. There can be a lot to remember and doing these things alone can make everything so much harder. Missing out on having a friendly, familiar face to share a coffee and a chat with can make the first few self-conscious months qu...
