1. No warmth and fluff
"For a 'well-being friend' to work, you need to know how to control your emotions and not let others think you're completely unintended," Diana Parkinson told men's health.
But not all women feel it. A survey of 1000 men and women by Dr. ed found that 52% of men become emotionally attached in NSA, compared with 44% of women.
On the other hand, if oxytocin lets you imagine babies and walk up and down the aisle, be honest with them and just be careful that they may not feel the same way. Before entering FWB, make sure you don't have deeper sex 100%.
2. The "friends" section matters
Looks can only take you to this step. If they are not your friends, they can't really become a friend of interest. Find your interesting friends at parties or other common friend gatherings. Research shows that being a friend makes you feel safe and increases your chances of having casual sex.
3. No expectations
You've been friends for years, but now things are going to be personal. Be honest about what it is and what you want from it to avoid any confusion and pain so you can hit home runs in every game.
4. Choose wisely
Before you bow your head, first think about the impact this will have on your friendship (positive or negative, how you feel if you two are not so close). One of your colleagues? We don't recommend it. Who happened to be your best friend since high school? Not ideal. Your best friend, boyfriend's friend, who is the future you can't see? Now we're ready to tango!
5. Keep safe
Make sure you put it on before you put it on. It's a given all bedroom rodeo, but by definition, you're not obligated to be exclusive in a FWB, so it's crucial to keep it safe so you won't have a little bub with a future you can't see, and keep STDs free.
6. Don't be green with envy
It's easier said than done, but since your shins are not the only one, make sure you're not jealous. Clinical psychologist Seth Meyers explained to psychology today: "if you find yourself jealous and tell your FWB partner honestly, you two can talk about whether the FWB relationship really works for both of you. For example, if he starts to be jealous and you realize that you don't want to be more serious with him, it's time to think about separation and let the interests of the relationship disappear. "
