Yes, that’s the only kind of relationship I will get into with a girl these days , I prefer her and I to be FWB’s with some strings attached first before making the big decision of being fully committed to each other , mainly to give her and I time to really get to know each other and to see the big picture before committing fully to each other. Jumping into a serious relationship with someone is stupid to do , because you both truly don’t know each other , you are just infatuated with each other , so FWB’s with some strings attached pretty much eliminates having your hearts broken completely if one of you decides this relationship isn’t going the way you expected it to , so the both of you can just remain friends if that’s the case instead of being enemies. Some strings attached just means you both only have sex with each other but you are open to date others’ if you choose to , if one of you sleeps with someone else , then the right thing to do is end the benefits part and just remain friends’ it seems to be working for me , considering I am over having
My heart shit on by selfish girls’ that change their minds all of a sudden , this only works with honest people , if you can’t be honest with each other , then that relationship is a waste of time

Sounds like most men often hope for the best that a fling becomes the real thing - rhymes 😛

Yes. As long as the foundation of the relationship is not solely based on sex. My current relationship started out as friends with benefits with amazing sex, then we built a strong friendship and eventually romance. Too bad our foundation on trust wasn’t strong enough because he cheated and we both have trust issues now.

It depends on if both people want that. I thought the whole idea of being friends with benefits was to f*ck every now and then, but not progress into a relationship, but I guess so.

I believe so but usually in these relationships it tends to be the women that get hurt.

Why the hell not? As long as both agree to the change in status.

Yes, I believe it's ok... but depends on the previous relationship, how did they get along.
