Earlier this year I saw a girl for four months before she ended things. I respected her choice but a month later she popped back into my life claiming she was confused. We hooked up texted all summer and kept making plans—only for her to flake every single time with an excuse.
By the end of summer we went out drinking and made out multiple times but she kept refusing to go home with me. She finally confessed that she had been dating someone else the entire summer and couldn't bring herself to tell me.
I'm devastated because her lack of honesty kept me hooked when I could have moved on in peace. Now she's asking to be friends with benefits. I want to say yes but I still have genuine feelings for her and I'm scared staying in her life like this will just keep me broken. What should I do?

do you really want to stay in her life after she spent all summer lying to your face, or are you just scared of losing her completely
saying yes to friends with benefits when you still have feelings is just signing up to get your heart shredded twice as bad.
i spent five months getting dragged along by a girl who pulled the exact same game, keeping me as her backup plan while dating someone else, and it absolutely DESTROYED my self-worth
