Friends with Benefits

I have always had a problem where I make out with my friends. For me this is not really an issue. They are usually there after a heavy night of cocktails and it is basically convenience. But, I think it can make things a little awkward. I did it in high school … I did it in college … and I did it last weekend. Damnit.

The friend make out can go one of two ways. Neither of you care at all and are totally candid about it. OR you both pretend nothing happened and secretly avoid one another for a few weeks until the awkwardness wears off. I usually choose the former of the two options. But sometimes I go with the latter.

You also have to establish some ground rules mentally when you make out with a friend. You cannot get attached. You also have to realize that it is going to make things awkward for the rest of your friends when they find out. Or they will mock you endlessly. I mean, either way it is going to be a bad situation.

So I have made an August resolution! Not to make out with friends ANYMORE. As a side note, on Saturday I was blacked out from too much vodka. Sunday I proceeded to sit in bed ALL day and eat an entire pizza throughout the day. Nothing is better for a hangover than that.

My theory on friends with benefits: it does not really work. And you are going to get made fun of.
