A person that you have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved. However, if you're a girl you know that it's impossible to have a sexual relationship without getting your emotions involved. Usually you end up being afraid to tell the person that you want serious committment because you don't want to be rejected. You keep your friends wtih benefits relationship because you are afraid of losing the person all together but it hurts you because you want more. You know you should tell the person how you really feel but you can't because you love them and you're afraid of losing them. When you finally do tell the person that you love them they might tell you that they love you back, if they don't then you can both move on, either way it's worth a shot because if you don't ask you'll never know.

Sally: I love you John, I want more than friends with benefits.
Fred: Why didn't you say something sooner? I love you too! Let's be boyfriend and girlfriend.
