What to do when you start liking your friend with benefits?

My friend and I sleep together but we also hang out and have deep conversations but theirs none of us once has ever mentioned liking the other or hinting not even me. I did not think I would start liking him but the more I talk to him I find him interesting, he challenges me and vice versa.

I think it's ok to see him as more than just somebody you have sex with. You aren't a robot. People will have a positive affect on you as you share emotionally with them. He can still be considered a good friend, even an interesting one. Things don't have to become romantic unless you want them to.

@midnightrose I know, I just dunno will get a bit jealous if he talks to another girl,

@JaneCas Do you feel attached to him in any way? If not, I wouldn't worry about jealousy. Jealously usually comes from a fear of losing something or somebody. You could even feel that toward a friend, or family member. It's not strictly something we feel toward a bf/gf.
