What to Do If You Develop Feelings for Your Friends With Benefits

What to Do If You Develop Feelings for Your Friends With Benefits

What to do if you develop feelings for your FWB

Entering into a "friends with benefits" agreement is always a risky affair. Even though it might seem like a great idea at first, you might find yourself doing a complete 180 from emotionally unavailable, to readily available.

Casual sex can be great if you're not ready to commit to a relationship. But you might find that the inevitable intimacy and vulnerability of intercourse might mean you start to catch some unwanted feelings.

Unfortunately, we can't all be Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. Despite what the movies portray, you aren't always going to end up happily every after with your FWB. So here's some tips if you're starting to feel your heart skip a beat at that 3am text...

Communicate

It might be hard, but if you've fallen hard, communication is key! So, bite the bullet and tell your friend how you really feel about them. The earlier you do this, the easier it will be to cut ties, stay friends, or understand whether they could feel the same (it's possible!).

Denying your feelings can be damaging to the relationship as a whole, plus it'll be pretty mentally draining for you! It opens the doors for jealousy, lies, and general messiness.

If you're up-front and honest, then things will go a lot smoother. There's a posibility you might feel a little rejected, but at least everything will be out in the open. Trust me, you'll feel a whole lot better.

But if the feelings haven't grown too much yet, lack of communication may be what you need to diffuse the situation. If you want to keep the benefits of the relationship, you may have to sacrifice some of the friendship you may have had before. This can be easy if you haven't known eachother for long, but if you've been friends for a long time, then there is bound to be some feelings involved.

Restrict conversations to small talk, and save the deep chats and convos for your other friends - y'know, the ones you aren't sleeping with.

Stay busy

Make sure you have a life outsie of your FWB! You might start to fall into a comfortable routine, but remember, you're not dating! Don't blow off your friends for an hour of sex every second day, and don't spend your days at work texting your FWB about how much you miss them.

Puruse your usual hobbies, career, and social life as much as you did before. This will help keep you busy and occupied, and take your mind off of any potential feelings for them.

Short and sweet

Your FWB relationship might not have an expiry date, but it's important to make sure it doesn't last forever. The longer it lasts, the more likely one of you is to start developing feelings.

Essentially, you don't want to drag things on longer than needed. Once you're ready to start opening yourself up to a relationship with love and feelings, it's a good idea to think about ending the FWB situation before things get awkward.

Avoid romance

Don't watch rom-coms together. Don't get takeout on a Friday night. Don't call each other cute nicknames. If you want to keep things strictly physical, then you need to be careful about what you say and do!

It's all good and well having fun, but as soon as the after-sex cuddles start becoming a little too frequent, it's likely the relationship is verging over the edge of friends.

via GIPHY

Cut ties

At the end of the day, it may be best to stop things altogether. That doesn't necessarily mean you can't be friends in the future, but if you're not on the same page, then it's probably best to call it quits!

There's no use in watching your heart get broken. Generally you'll know when it's not going to work, so trust your gut instinct and tell your FWB the truth!
