friends with benefits? Options

[xposure]

ok so i like this guy and i asked him if were friends and he said no, we're more than friends then he added 'friends with benefits' i didnt know what it ment when he said it so i was like huh? he just ignored me. i havent talked to him in person for 2 days now. im still confused about what 'friends with benefits' mean. i dont even know why he said it because i thought he liked my best friend. since they hang out alot like at the mall and even at each others house. i havent even went to his house before. he told me that he liked me like 4 days ago (he already knows i like him cuz i told him) if he likes me then why does he ignore me and talk/ hang out with my best friend? i even asked him if he liked her but he said no. formal is coming soon and my friend said he was gonna ask me (he sorta told me himself when i was trying to guess who liked me, he told me someone liked me so i was trying to find out who) im still confused about friends with benefits, what does it mean, what is he trying to tell me?

Everyone else has pretty much told you what 'Friends with Benefits' mean...but I think that he was using that term to sound mature. Or that was his way of saying that he likes you but he doesn't like you enough to call you his girlfriend...one thing that no one has mentioned is the best friend...are you sure he is not two timing you both...have you talked to your best friend about you and him and their hang out sessions. Do you know for a fact that he likes you and not her? You should settle the he and best friend thing before anything else. If you like him and he likes you then your best friend should not even be in the mix of this situation. After that is settled then figure out what he wants.

How the hell would he be two-timing them? He hasn't done anything for christs sake. He mis-used a term!

(...i dont even know why he said it because i thought he liked my best friend. since they hang out alot like at the mall and even at each others house. i havent even went to his house before...)

Regardless of what has been done or not...he is playing in between two best friends! He says he likes her but there is no telling what he does with her bestfriend (to the author of this forum: not saying he has). But if he likes her then they all can hang out a as trio at HIS house.
That is probably and most likely why he "misused" the term!
Plus, this "relationship" may bother her for her to even mention it in the topic of him misusing a term...evaluate the situation first...think outside the box.
