Although we love the idea and feel great about having a fuckbuddy in our lives, there are some small responsibilities that you must fulfill to keep the relationship alive, maintain it, and have fun with it. These responsibilities aren’t things you have to do. These are things you have to do, not have to do. Why? You shouldn’t do anything that could cause a misunderstanding between you and your fuckbuddy. It’s important to have a fuckbuddy that you can keep things light, fun, and easy. Here are some things that you shouldn’t do with your fuckbuddy.
Take out for dinner
Don’t go out for dinner with your fuckbuddy. It is not a good idea to go out to dinner with your fuckbuddy. You also have to deal with the check. You should not pay for the meal of your fuckbuddy, or expect him/her pay. It can also make you feel like dressing up to impress another person. This can all feel like a large investment. Mentally, investments can muddy the waters.
You can also have too many conversations. It’s not a good idea to know too much about your fuckbuddy, or reveal too much about you. Avoid eating out at restaurants. However, we are not suggesting that you never eat with your fuckbuddy. You can order food from a 7/11, Burger King or other fast food establishments if you’re having a fuckbuddy nightover.
We don’t believe you should go to a restaurant. We recommend asking your fuckbuddy for a tip if you order food. If you feel uncomfortable about this, tell your fuckbuddy that you have the food and that they will take care of it next time. You can offer to pay if you’re not ordering. It is very easy to get into financial trouble investing in a fuckbuddy.

Get to know each other
It’s awkward for both you and your fuckbuddy to meet the friends of a fuckbuddy. Don’t place your friends in awkward situations to meet your fuckbuddy. It is important to keep the worlds of friendship, FWB and love separate. If you share your life with a fuckbuddy’s personal life or get into their private lives, it can make the stakes too high. This can cause confusion for all involved and pushes the relationship towards more dating-like relationships. To avoid unnecessary complications in your fuckbuddy relationships, keep these words separate from each other. Never introduce your fuckbuddy or fuckbuddy in front of your parents. Ever.
Have a good time with their friends
This should be obvious. You and your fuckbuddy must adhere to the ‘No Meeting Friends’ rule. If they fail to do so, there is a risk that you may flirt with their friends or them flirting with your friends. It can become a friendship-incest situation if a fuckbuddy begins flirting with their FWB friends. No one wants to share their FWBs with their friends. It is rude and disrespectful not to flirt with FWB friends. This can also lead to a strained relationship between the friends.
Fuckbuddy shouldn’t be the reason a friendship ends or is broken. These are too high stakes for situations involving a fuckbuddy. This is another reason not to introduce your FWB friends. Although it may seem like an uncommon problem for fuckbuddies, it is very common. Why? Why? Because a fuckbuddy usually has a non-emotional connection. This allows your friends to justifiably flirt with or engage inappropriately with them, claiming that they are just fuckbuddy. It’s not justified. It’s disrespectful. Don’t allow your friends and fuckbuddy to cross the line. If you do flirt with your friends, be respectful of your fuckbuddy.
Send gifts to
Never give your fuckbuddy gifts. Gifts are something you give someone special on a particular equation. A fuckbuddy isn’t special to you. While we don’t mean to be rude, feelings of friendship can still be shared with your fuckbuddy. However, it is important to keep that in check. Gifts can send the wrong signals and cause confusion in your FWB relationship. Fuckbuddy is a person who has an instant vibe. They shouldn’t have to think about you outside the bedroom. This can be caused by a gift.
Discuss the most important issues
When talking to a fuckbuddy, it is important to keep things light and casual. Talk about your problems with family members, friends, and colleagues. Talk about politics and religions only. This person is not there to be your therapist, but for you to have a good time. This rule serves two purposes. It protects you from having feelings for your fuckbuddy. It also protects your fuckbuddy’s personal life. Fuckbuddy relationships require that both partners acknowledge they are there only to have fun. It is not fair to force your fuckbuddy to talk about a large weight.
Tell lies about your feelings
This exception to the above rule is. It is important to have an honest conversation with your fuckbuddy about your feelings. You should immediately address any feelings you have for your fuckbuddy. You will only make it more difficult for yourself if you try to make it easier. It is possible to resent your fuckbuddy or feel resentful that you don’t feel the same. What was supposed to be fun suddenly becomes something completely different. If you are honest with your fuckbuddy, you have nothing to lose. Either they won’t feel the exact same way, and they can move on to another situation. Or they will feel the exact same way and it will blossom into something better.
