Thanks everyone... James, I knew you were going to say something along those lines!
Yes, Alex is a jackass for wanting to be friends with benefits, and thank you for recognizing it! None of my friends would straight say it, they would just say "well, that's your decision..." or something like that. I needed to hear that he's a jackass firsthand.
As for Mark's roommates, I am sure they are being genuine. Three of them, although "related" to Alex in the fraternity, are not close to him at all. They hang out with different crowds and don't have the same values (i.e. Alex is known to smoke out a lot, these guys don't do that; Alex spends a lot of his time playing stupid video/computer games, and they don't do that; Alex doesn't really care about graduating EVER, and these guys are all on track to get out of school and get jobs, etc.- is it a wonder why I'm over him???). All they really have in common is that they are in the same fraternity, which typically says they have a lot in common, but they don't. These guys are all very respectable, treat women well, and I considered them friends before Alex and I were even close friends.
Thank you guys for your responses! Give me more if you can because I'm still a little stuck on the issue!
