What are the rules of friends with benefits?

[Anonymous]

My (spicy) friends with benefits candidate knows I don't want romantic relationships rn but he's already too much. The former knew the rules without me having to tell him and we were very respectful of each other. But I really didn't know where to draw the line this one.

Essentially, a good friends with benefits setup needs:

• * Clear, upfront rules: Talk about what's okay and what's not, especially regarding emotions, exclusivity, and how often you'll see each other.
• * Honest communication: Keep checking in with each other to make sure everyone's still on the same page.
• * Respect for boundaries: If someone crosses a line, address it immediately.
• * Readiness to end it: Either of you should be able to walk away without drama.

Awesome explanation thanks 🙏🏻
He is strange this things. It's up to me to research and make ground rules. I felt the need to ask because he was of a very different character from my previous partner. (eng my second language)

You draw the line where you agree to draw the line, Missy. You should know that. friends with benefits doesn’t HAVE set rules. It’s a mindless activity for idle people with too much time on their hands.

Everything that has a name has rules. Otherwise, we would call lemons potatoes.
