FWB means FRIENDS with benefits. If we aren’t friends, it’s not happening. I’m not one for one night stands or meaningless hookups. I am fine with a FRIEND with benefits, though.

Yessss like if I can’t tell that you’re treating me like a normal person instead of a piece of meat to bang at your beck and call it ain’t happening at all. There’s zero romantic feelings between my fwb and I and we get all the feel goods from a relationship (like cuddling and being able to laugh during sex) without the pressure of committing to something we’re both too busy for

Keep in mind that relationships always have 2 sides to it. Getting emotionally and sexually involved with someone will almost always cause romantic feelings for at least one of the people. So keep that in mind
