Is it normal for exes to be "friends with benefits"?

So me and my boyfriend were dating for almost five months and he randomly broke up with me. I was devastated and he never told me why. He started texting me a few weeks after we broke up saying he missed me, he only left because he "didn't think he deserved me", and wanted me back, we got back together and he dumped me again that same day and said he wanted to be "just friends". After a few weeks of us texting he asked me today if we could be "friends with benefits" but he still acts like he loves me and gets jealous when i talk about other guys. We started sexting like we used to when we were dating today and he said he wants to meet up somewhere Monday so we can "mess around" is it normal???

    Had you ONLY wanted sex from him I'd say: Go for it!

    But you clearly still care for the guy and he has over and over again proven that he doesn't want more than just easy sex.

    Don't fall for it and don't hurt yourself further :/ As a girl you can EASILY get a friend with benefits somewhere else, someone who isn't your ex ...

        Good! Take care and better luck with the next guy who wins your heart.

        Feelings can be tricky to get rid of :/

        He has absolutely no concern for you at all and is just looking for a play-thing to keep him occupied. You will quickly be replaced when he finds a shiny new "toy" that grabs his attention.

        That's not a relationship that you want to be a part of. He likely has a whole phone full of women he messes around with just to fulfill his superficial needs and to brag to his friends about.

      (s)aint is right....you clearly still have feelings for him and this is him using you. If you just wanted the sex too and didn't have feelings for him it would be normal.

      yeah this.

      if you want to just have sex with a friend that's fine. i've done it myself.

      however when one person wants more than the other ... it doesn't usually end well.

    Do it if you want sex but if you're looking for more don't.

    Simple... he needs a hole for his pole......You decide if u want to be that hole...
    My suggestion just buy her an artificial vagina which he can use when his hormones get out of balance and you find some guy to whom you actually enjoy laying with or someone who actually show some respect toward you

        you are welcome......... The best time to judge a guy is right after he is done having sex with a girl those few seconds are something difficult for a guy to hide his face expressions or real intentions toward a girl and you said his all cares are only before having a date so that concludes everything... Good decision by the way...

    I think this would just hurt you. Forget him and move on. You owe him nothing.

    I think he doesn't know what he wants either, but that's not so bad is it? Let him be desperate, as long as you know what you're doing it's ok.
