Girlfriend or friend with benefits

Since we are born, we always make our own way, and for doing so, we have to make decisions every day. Some of them are good and the others are bad, but we cannot avoid making decision in our lives. When we grow up, we have the necessity to share our life with another person, but before this we have to date a girl to know if she is the one that we need for the rest of our life. In the process of searching a mate, you find two different types of girls: girlfriends and friends with benefits.

The first difference between them is the obligations. When you have a girlfriend, you have the obligation to spend time with her some days of the week, maybe going to the movies, to a restaurant, to a park, to practice a sport together or just spending some hours with her. On the contrary, when you are with a friend with benefits you do not have any obligation to spend time with her, and this is because you did not ask her to be your girlfriend, you just see each other when you have the necessity for talking to her or making out.

Another difference is the money you spend on these girls. When you go to a restaurant, to the movies or any other place you spend money, and you as a man are supposed to pay the bill or the total amount of money, but this does not always happen because your girlfriend can pay some day the bill. On the other hand, when you are hanging out with your friend with benefits, you do not have to pay the whole bill or the total amount of money, you can just pay what you eat or you consumed, you do not have any obligation to pay for the girl’s.

The last thing to differ is the feelings that you have. When you have a girlfriend you involve your feelings, you are giving love to that person every day, and she gives her love back to you. When you and your girlfriend have been together for one or more months your feelings tremendously increase. However, when you have a friend with benefits you do not involve your feelings as in a relationship with your girlfriend, you know that you are just hanging out for making out and for nothing else. If you involve your feelings with a friend with benefits you may get disappointed because she is just looking for passion and no more, and you are looking for something that you cannot get with her.

As you can read there some differences between a girlfriend and a friend with benefits. Each one has its own good aspects, if you want responsibilities get a girlfriend, but if you are a young guy who does not want a commitment you should get a friend with benefits. No matter whom you choose, just make sure not to hurt the feelings of that girl because sooner or later Karma will return it back to you ;)

  1. Hi Carlotes :P
    I liked your essay! It is clear and it has coherence! Also, it is real ;) nowadays some men just want a friend with benefits due to fear of compromise, as the same way as some women. But as you mentioned we have to be careful and to be sure that the other person agrees with this kind of relationships; on the contrary, you should be alert because everything comes back!
    Well, I consider that you did a great job because you give good supporting ideas and examples, so your essay is coherent!
    Just some suggestions and observations:
    -The necessity to share- the necessity for talking- maybe you should write as the same way (infinitive of gerund)
    -maybe going to the movies, to a restaurant, to a park, to practice a sport together or just spending some hours with her.- practice is a verb so you should write is in gerund as the others.
    Well done!! ;-)
