Are You Ready To Be A Friend With Benefits?

A friend with benefits sitch can lead to an amazing time in bed and allow you to explore your sexuality all the while remaining free of everything that goes hand-in-hand with a serious relationship. While this may be an ideal option if all you want to do is focus on things like working on yourself or building a career, it can also get more strenuous than an actual affair if you don’t do it right. Practically speaking, not everyone is cut out to be a part of this modern “dating” trend. If you are in a similar situation or are wondering if it may be for you, consider the following first.

GETTING OFFENDED IF HE DOESN’T TEXT YOU EVERY DAY

The day after you hook up with someone, you tend to expect texts from the other person. But, if there aren’t any notifications from him, it shouldn’t make you feel sad. Don’t expect a “Good morning!” text or an update you on every meal he’s having. Instead, communicate with zero expectations just as you would your friend.

GOING ON REGULAR DATES THAT DON’T INVOLVE ANYTHING SEXUAL

If you guys are spending a lot of time on cute stuff like cuddling, cooking for each other or anything that’s nice in a nonsexual way, then you should reconsider your schedule with him as this type of constant behaviour can cultivate feelings in one (or both!) of you. This will invariably make both your lives tough AF. It is in your best interest to avoid at all costs!
