I think i am going to ask my friend if she would want to do a friends with benefits type of thing.
Is there something that would stop you from asking her?
She hasnt been thrilled about hanging out with me as of lately, so i do not know if asking is a good idea.
Wanting to become friends with benefits is fine and there's nothing wrong with that but that's a pretty big decision for someone to make. If they haven't been wanting to hang out with you, don't you think it would be better to ease back into hanging out by doing simple stuff that they like. Maybe when you get closer you can bring up the idea.
I didn't get to say anything...
It may just be a better idea to see if there is some sort of attraction between you two before just asking that type of question. It has been a while since you have talked so this is going to seem more like a booty call.
