Alright ladies and gentlemen, I know you’re out their. The ones that don’t do the whole “relationship” thing and prefer to keep it single and free. Just a question though, have you ever had the benefit of having a benefit? What I mean is, when the times are tough and the loneliness sets in, have you tried having a friend with benefits? Some people don’t like this idea, or others are crazy and think whoever they have this “not relationship” with, that it eventually will turn into a relationship. That’s crap and only happened on Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached because they were Hollywood movies. In real life, if that’s what you want, that’s what your working on. Don’t complicate your life or someone else’s by putting them in that weird position where you’d both agreed in the beginning it wouldn’t be anything, but then try to turn it into something. It’s not cool and you either end up heart broken or breaking someone’s heart. I know it sounds complicated, and it is. I’ve come up with some things that might help you sort out what you need to do so this doesn’t happen though.
First,
Don’t try and be FWBs with someone who you could see yourself dating, obvious enough. Sure, they can be attractive, but don’t let them be too much of your type. Advice: Find someone who you’d probably hate if they weren’t good in bed.
Second,
Don’t text them for anything except for the d or the v. The more you start talking about other things, the easier it will turn into something more which is a no, no. Be blunt, be bold, be forward. About sex, that’s it.
Thirdly,
Don’t make food, have food out, or even clean your apartment. You’re not showing off for this guy/girl. They’re here or you’re there for one reason. Get in, get satisfied, get out.
Fourth,
Slap them. Yep. This is where you can try all that weird shit you wouldn’t dare to think to ask someone you really like. Get crazy, try something off the wall. This doesn’t have to be all business, make it exciting for yourself.
Fifth,
Constantly insist that your FWB is staying FWB. Sometimes people lose track of all the action and start to feel attached. By keeping the rules out and open, no one can get confused.
Sixth,
Don’t kiss or hug them goodbye. This isn’t a relationship. That will just get your thoughts all messy and make them think too 
deeply into the meaningless gesture.
Seventh,
Kick ’em out after awhile. You don’t want to keep something going like this for too long or you will in fact…
Eighth,
Fall in love with them. This is the biggest no and the reason you’re not even in a relationship. If you keep them around too long like in 7, you make that risk of getting attached. With time comes investment and that isn’t something you’re interested in. If you do feel your feelings shifting you should either let them know for sure, or break it and go find your true love.
These not-relationshps aren’t easy but having a FWB is fun, if you’re ready for that kind of thing. Just always know, it starts and ends in the bedroom, or whatever room of choice. The moment you loose sight of that, time to move on and maybe figure out what you really want. Stay single, find yourself, then decide.
