The "Friends" end up not being reliable lol Tired of people talking instead of doing. lol0

Friends with benefits can work.
Keep it shallow/light, don't think about the future... don't think at all, actually, no sleepovers. And don't try to convince yourself it's something more than it is.
The minute you have to start thinking about what you're doing, it isn't fun anymore.
ETA: It's supposed to be like a "relationship" but with no extra work. You don't have to call that person at the end of the day. You don't have to meet their parents.0 -
I just don't get it. If I'm really friends with a guy...and I want to sleep with him I think it should be the full meal deal relationship. Otherwise just friends.
Meh doesn't work for me.0 -
It's difficult when every girl you meet falls madly in love with you.0

A few of my friends are out of work, with the tough economy and all. They are in a bad spot when it comes to benefits. I'm lucky to work for a large company - health, dental, life insurance, the whole deal.
I wouldn't stop being friends with them over it though, that's just crazy talk.0 -

Mine has worked pretty well so far. I do kind of hope he becomes unnecessary though.0

IMO the best FWB comes from an ex or someone you had a ONS with in the past. You know your ex is an ex for a reason but the sex may have been good.
Friends turned FWB is a like playing with a hornets nest! Baaaad idea.0 -

I wouldn't agree that an ex works well, because unless there are reasons you have to maintain contact (like kids or something), I think there should be a clean cut. Of course, I'm talking about a LTR. If you're only together for a couple weeks, sure.
But yeah, ONS usually work for FWB if the hookup was good.0 -

hmmm! seems to me that FRIENDS with benefits should be with FRIENDS??? Otherwise it would be called 'ex with benefits' or 'stranger with benefits' :laugh:
How have I got that so wrong .....:noway:0 -

Yup, not sure the exes thing works either. I thought the husband was trying to Reconciliate after his EA and so happens that he just wanted a kind of "Friends with Benefit" thing going. All the sex, minus the responsibility or the kids, etc. Totally broke my heart, over and over again. But hey, the sex was fantastic!0 -

Well yeah of course, Anna! What I am saying is taking an already made friendship and turning it into a FWB. It would be almost like screwing your sibling.0 -
