Make sure she orgasms.

[–]Therocksays2020 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Avoid the small talk. Invite her over for a day in the future. Give at least 48 hours notice and go from there.

The key to fwb is healthy boundaries. People always say “one person will develop feelings” but if you keep it casual and fun that’s not an issue

Cool thanks:)

[–]koseabjitt 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

best way to keep all the plates is to treat them like shit & always be willing to walk away.

no , beating the fuck out of her or verbally abusing her isn't what i meant , what i mean is be fully detached , put yourself as one & only priority and have the robotic manner . that's exactly what an fwb wants , sure she'll never agree but it's the truth.

I suggest not to get involved in a FWB relationship. It's two people using each other and pretending you don't have any real feelings for each other. It's unhealthy for you.

[–]Aurelius_121180[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It suits me for the moment, my career plans and where I'm living in the country may change soon, she's aware of this and we like hanging out; I've not had a FWB before so I'm curious to see how it goes.

[–]Therocksays2020 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

What a fucking horrible take. No there’s nothing wrong with a consensual friends with benefits relationship - you are both getting some

“Two people using each other” any relationship has give and take

[–]punkman01 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Can I politely disagree. FWB relationships will diminish your ability to establish future committed relationships. In a FWB relationship you are continuously trying to convince your brain that sex is nothing to do with any emotional connection to your partner. This is the opposite of what is desired for a committed relationship. I suggest that in most FWB relationships at least one of the couple is pretending to not be emotionally connected or is in denial about the level of emotional connection. Which is just sad.

FWB’s are the best arrangements .. its great having female friends that are dtf ..

[–]punkman01 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I get the impression that your focus is totally on "doing what makes you happy", and not on doing what's right or doing what's good for you of doing what's respectful of who you're with. But I understand it's your life to lead however you choose.

[–]debu206 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Easy. Dont talk much.

Avoid emotional conversations. Treat her like a bro, and itll be good ;)

Thanks dude👍

[–]Shiroi_meinu 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Set boundaries. Be respectful. Be willing to compromise.

Be open and honest.

Everyone has different ways of approaching FWB as everyones wants/needs are different.

Oh and first and foremost be a friend. If you can't be that don't call it a FWB. I see too many people confusing FB with FWB.

[–]texaspete3 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

FWB without anyone developing an emotional attachment is almost impossible and the few women that do so are destined to be single forever. Women who engage in this behavior and don't fall for you or have a plan to get you to fall for them are extremely rare and the few i encountered i can honestly say their story is incongruent.
