\"HowIf you are lucky enough to have a friend with benefits arrangement<\/span>, you know they can be very fragile. When you are dealing with a person from the opposite sex, it is always hard to communicate. Women are more complex, men, less so. When trying to find a happy medium between the two, emotions can take over. There is an old saying that men and women can\u2019t be friends. In most instances, that is true. If you want a friend, it is usually best to stay with a person of your own gender. Friends with benefits arrangements are different. They combine a casual friendship with casual sex<\/a>. The key to them both is to remain casual on both fronts. If you try to have too deep of a friendship, it will overflow into the sexual relationship. That is when the trouble begins. If you want to avoid having any sort of relationship talk that will lead to a crossroads, there are things that you can do to keep it light.<\/p>\n

A friend with benefits relationship is like heaven. You don\u2019t have to worry about your performance. There are no expectations. There is no baggage<\/a>, or any power plays. They are fun, you can learn a lot about how to please the other sex, and make yourself feel really good too. If you want to make sure to keep your arrangement, and not have your friend want to be something more than just friends, follow these rules:<\/p>\n

Rule #1 – Don\u2019t talk about personal stuff<\/b>
\nIt is alright to talk about surface things like the weather, or the latest episode of a television show, but don\u2019t talk about how your dad never treated you right. When you talk about intimate things, or share your feelings, you are bringing the relationship out of the casual. Anytime you let them into your personal life, you are risking crossing the relationship bridge. Keep it light, fun and emotion-free at all times. If you don\u2019t, it won\u2019t last.<\/p>\n

Rule #2 – Don\u2019t take them to family gatherings<\/b>
\nIf you don\u2019t want to get the \u201cwhen are you two getting married?\u201d question, don\u2019t take your friend to family gatherings<\/a>. Getting family involved is never good. Not only will it make it seem like you have a closer relationship than you want, it will be confusing to everyone around, including you both. Taking them to a bar may keep it casual. Taking them to a cousin\u2019s wedding could be the beginning to the end. Try to not introduce them into your world at all.<\/p>\n

Rule #3 – Don\u2019t exchange gifts<\/b>
\nA gift is something that tells them you are thinking about them in a different way than just friends. You wouldn\u2019t give your best friend a gift because you were thinking about them, you shouldn\u2019t give your friend with benefits one either. They are no different, well, besides the sex part.
