7 Ways to start a FWB relationship

Turn FWB into a relationship A FWB with someone you know can be an easy way to get a fuck buddy but it can be difficult to move out of the friend zone. Take things to the next level with these handy tips:

1) Choose someone who doesn’t mind being single

A single person is more likely to be interested in being a fuck buddy then someone who’s in a relationship because of commitment issues. Choose someone single and make sure they’re the type of person who’s okay with being single and isn’t going to want more from you over time because you don’t want them to become emotionally attached to you.

2) Flirt with them

Test their reaction to it by starting out small such as little touches on the arm or giving compliments. If they’re responsive then see where things go because they might want the same thing as you do.

3) Make sure before you ask them

Make sure that they’re the person you want to do this with otherwise you’re going to send mix signals and things will be awkward between the two of you. Imagine what a FWB relationship would be like with them and think about whether it has a chance of working out. When you’re ready be confident and tell them you’d like to talk to them about something personal.

4) Talk to them

Talk to them to see if a friends with benefits relationship is something they want with you and find out how they would like it to happen. Be honest so they know what to expect from you and be respectful of what they want. Keep the mood light so they don’t feel pressured and let them know that the friendship won’t end if they don’t want to do this.

5) Do a test date

Once you’ve both agreed to try this then do a test date to see if it will work between the two of you or if it’s awkward because you know each too well. Don’t have it be the type of date you’d have with your girlfriend because you want it to be the guideline for how things will be in the future. Instead of hanging out like you normally would have sex with them and avoid delaying things by just making out.

6) Gently set rules

When you know that this is something that’s going to happen then set some ground rules so nobody gets hurt. You want this to be beneficial for both of you so don’t make it all about what you want. This should be a long talk because you don’t want to overlook something that could cause issues later on. Discuss what types of things you’d like to do together but also how you’ll keep your friendship going smoothly.

7) Keep things casual

You need to make sure that things stay casual between the two of you so still go out with other people and don’t do things that a boyfriend would do like send little texts to her during the day. Don’t get jealous when they go out on dates because you don’t want them to get the wrong idea and avoid acknowledging the benefits part of your relationship so your other friends don’t make judgments about it.
