Have you ever been in β or at least, heard of β a friends-with-benefits setup? Sounds too good to be true? Well, most of the time, it is. The friends-with-benefits agreement is a slippery slope to be on, because rarely do people just stop at the benefits part.
This is why most pairs set ground rules beforehand. But which friends-with-benefits commandments are never meant to be broken at all costs? Open communication, both at the start and during the relationship makes things easier for both parties involved. What happens when you start developing emotions? Lay all your feelings on the table as soon as possible.
This is easier said than done for most people though, as many still find themselves getting emotionally attached too quickly and too easily. Better yet, do both! Because ang ma-fall, matalo. Sooner or later, someone is bound to get hurt. The lucky ones come out of an FWB setup satisfied and unscathed, while most crawl out of it hurt and confused, but with lessons learned along the way.
